The idea is:
Currently, exporting workflows and credentials in the self-hosted version of n8n requires multiple manual steps using cli command. This feature request proposes a one-click export/import option to seamlessly back up and transfer workflows along with credentials when migrating to a new VM or taking a backup.
My use case:
- When switching to a new server or VM, I need to manually export workflows and credentials separately using cli, use psftp to get that on local and then import along with encryption key.
- There is no easy way to export all credentials securely along with workflows in a single action.
- For backup purposes, having a simple export option would ensure seamless restoration if needed.
I think it would be beneficial to add this because:
- Time-saving: Reduces the complexity of migration and backup processes.
- Seamless import/export: A single file containing both workflows and credentials will simplify restoration.
- Security & Reliability: Ensures credentials are properly encrypted and safely transferred.
- User-Friendly: A simple UI button to export and import everything would make n8n self-hosting more convenient.
