Hi I can help with this.

I’ve worked with self-hosted n8n (Docker) setups and have handled SQLite crashes and migrations to Postgres before. Typical approach would be:

  • Inspect the SQLite DB for corruption and attempt recovery (using sqlite integrity checks / dump where possible)

  • Extract workflows, credentials, and execution data safely

  • Migrate cleanly to Postgres and reattach n8n with minimal data loss

  • Validate workflows after restart

Happy to jump on this quickly since it’s urgent.
Let me know:

  • n8n version

  • Docker setup (compose or single container)

  • Whether you still have access to the DB file

We can do this as a fixed-price or hourly, whichever you prefer.

I can take this on immediately.

I’ve recovered corrupted n8n SQLite databases in Docker before and migrated production instances to Postgres safely.

What I’ll do (no fluff):

  • Make a forensic copy of the SQLite DB and run integrity + dump-based recovery

  • Salvage workflows, credentials, executions (whatever is still recoverable)

  • Spin up Postgres, migrate clean data, and rewire n8n to it

  • Validate workflows + credentials post-migration so nothing silently breaks

I’ll also make sure you never end up on SQLite again (proper volumes, backups, Postgres config).

To move fast, I just need:

  • n8n version

  • Docker setup (compose or single container)

  • Access to the SQLite DB file / volume

I’m fine with fixed-price or hourly, but given urgency I recommend fixed so we just get it done.

If the DB file still exists, chances of recovery are high.

I can help recover your data from the SQLite database and migrate it to Postgres. With my expertise in n8n and database management, I will focus on ensuring a smooth recovery and a secure transition to Postgres to prevent future issues.

Here’s the approach:
• Investigate and recover data from the SQLite database after crash/corruption
• Migrate the recovered data and workflows to Postgres for improved stability
• Ensure all necessary configurations are set for a reliable n8n environment on Postgres
• Provide detailed documentation on the migration process and best practices for future maintenance
