Hi everyone!

I have a question about the best way to install self-hosted n8n.

We have a VM running Windows Server 2019, and we’d like to know the best approach to run n8n in our infrastructure.

After some research, we found that Docker Desktop doesn’t work on Windows Server. We saw two possible alternatives:

  1. Install Docker via PowerShell and then run n8n as a container

  2. Install Node.js directly on the server and then install and run n8n without Docker

From a performance and resource management perspective, which option is more recommended?
Our main concern is ensuring stability and optimal use of server resources.

Thanks in advance!
