Hey n8n community!
I recently wrote a blog post about transforming a local n8n setup into a production-ready automation hub using Docker and ngrok—all without spending a penny on cloud hosting. The guide is packed with screenshots, step-by-step instructions, and a few friendly jokes to keep things light.
What’s inside:
- Why localhost isn’t enough for webhooks and integrations
- How to use Docker and ngrok to make your n8n instance globally accessible
- Tips for Windows and Mac users
- How to keep your data safe and persistent
- Screenshots for every major step
Whether you’re a beginner or looking for a quick way to test your workflows with third-party services, this guide is for you!
