Hey everyone…If I using the the docker make the self host and it will be push to the localhost. Which means that anyone can access to the localhost once have the link? Even if I don’t open my workflow, it will still run 24 hours a day, right?
After following this video, can I successfully access the localhost? Is there anything else I need to do?
Hi there @Ting22 , saw the tutorial and to asnwer your question
no, everyone cannot access your localhost, localhost means it only exists on your own computer (locally hosted on your computer)
so no one on the internet can access it except you
yes and no, once you activate the workflow, it will still run as long as you dont turn off the n8n docker or your laptop, since it’s hosted on your computer, it will get shut down if your computer is shut down
if you want for people to access it, you need to host it somewhere on the cloud, online, something like a vps, like digitalOcean, and for that n8n has tutorial to make it run 24hours a day nonstop and everyone can access it, you can check it here
Thanks I will watch it
