Hey n8n community!
I’ve created a free 5-day email course that shows how to turn a basic n8n installation into a reliable production setup - without complex infrastructure or Kubernetes knowledge. It’s all about preventing common issues that can lead to failed workflows, lost data, and late-night emergency fixes.
I want to make sure this course reaches the right people, so let me be clear about who will benefit most.
This course is perfect for you if:
- You’re already running n8n in production or planning to
- You want to make your n8n setup more reliable without over-engineering it
- You understand basic DevOps concepts but aren’t a specialist
- You have basic Docker experience (can work with docker-compose)
This probably isn’t for you if:
- You’re new to server administration or Docker. In this case, n8n Cloud is a much better choice - it’s cost-effective and handles all the infrastructure complexity for you
- You’re an experienced DevOps engineer running complex setups with Kubernetes, queue mode, or distributed workers. You likely already know these concepts and have more sophisticated solutions in place
The course covers five common mistakes I keep seeing in production setups:
- SQLite in production
- Unreliable backup strategies
- Missing error monitoring
- Workflow backup issues
- Over-reliance on external services
Each day, you’ll get practical solutions that work on a single VPS - no complex infrastructure required. Everything is explained with examples and configs.
