this is interesting. i was looking at something for Ollama the other day and how to get it all to sync. this could be the perfect thing to save me building my own.

what do you mean by “not fully optimized for production environments” - what would be missing here to not allow prod usage?

At first I read it and misunderstood, I was happy that AI process assistant is launched so quickly after the announcement )

I’m trying to start the self-hosted n8n using the AI Starter Kit. It was working yesterday, and then today I upgraded MacOS to Sequoia, and now I’m getting this error:

Hi @nate

Which version of n8n are you running? Did you try to to update the docker container?
I’m also running on MacOS Sequoia 15.0 but no issues on my end…

*** Update *** I figured out the answer to my question.

Is there a way to update the n8n version within the Self Hosted AI Starter Kit to the current version? I am stuck on ver 1.64.3 . I’ve tried to follow the upgrade instructions, but it does not appear to be working. I installed using Docker Compose on a Mac M1 .

By the way, i love the Self hosted AI Starter Kit, but i am just interested in playing around with some of the new features and nodes.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
