guys, I hope you’re goin good in your journey of N8n. I usually automate things with python and make own scripts for editing, downloding things and for small tasks. I didn’t feel feel n8n worthy on hosting it on my local system and didn’t feel doin anything on it. What I believe refrain the most of the people in it to use it thoroughly i.e you have to pay for every single api key and buying this and that when you don’t even know how it’s gonna work and I’m hanging in the same loop hole. Please tell me how can I start N8n journey and get most of it. I also have a RDP, I may host it over there so that it keeps running 24x7 Your comment will be highly appreciated.

What is your use case you’re trying to solve? If you’re asking what can you use n8n for, see my response in the below thread:
On top of the above I sometimes use n8n for a quick POC / Prototype, testing a client API or string of api calls without having to call multiple Postman calls.
In most cases I can fully use n8n to automate tasks and syncing data without having to pay for 3rd party services. For example, I was recently in a vehicle accident and I used n8n to build a chat agent who can scan through my gmail and pull out invoices from physios and OTs to send to my lawyer dealing with my road accident fund case. At the same time it can use an LLM and OCR to pull the actual data out of totals and amounts to add to a Google sheet for easy “accounting” of totals etc. This helps me save time and doesnt cost anything
