I know it has been a while but I have finally finished the next version of n8n-pi. Version 0.01.03 has been updated with n8n version 0.74.0 and NodeJS version 12.18.2. It has also been updated with all the latest Debian packages.
I started to write and share but since I am not a developer, my solutions are not very well recognized by some community members who thinks that we all should be developers
Don’t worry. That won’t discurage me from sharing my solutions and workflows though
Don’t worry about not being a developer! I’m not a developer either! I’m just a guy who is too stupid to know what I can’t do, so I’ll try anything! And based on the law of averages, something has to work once in a while!
The people here are extremely inviting and working very hard to make this a true community where we help each other if one of us is failing rather than attacking that individual. All you really need is a sense of curiosity and a willingness to try.
Frankly, I believe the we need to have a good number of non-developers because they represent a the target audience that n8n is reaching for. A developer doesn’t need n8n because they will just write their own code to do what they want. n8n is for people who are not developers but want to get the same results developers do without learning complicated programming languages.
So keep experimenting and keep writing. Your opinions and experiences are extremely valuable to the n8n team.
thanks for your great work, i just did a diy install following your guid on my rpi4 and it worked nicely! only one step should be added: “type n8n to start n8n” before step 5. or should it run automatically?
Thanks for the great feedback. That tells me all the effort that I’m putting into this is worth it! I have not had time to load this into one of my RPI4 (I’ve been developing on RPi3) so it’s good to know that this works with the newer hardware.
n8n should start automatically as it is now installed as a service using PM2. You can check to see if it is running by typing the following command:
again thank you, n8n didn’t run yet but after following your pm2 guide everything works so far. by the way, i only did the diy install because i use the pi headless over wlan and my wifi settings in wpa_supplicant.conf didn’t work with the v0.01.03.zip
Thanks for letting me know about the WiFi piece. Franky, I have not given any thought to WiFi but I could definitely put together a quick tutorial on how to activate the WiFi on the image so that it would work. I’ll add that to my ToDo list.
