👋 Start Here: Introduce Yourself
Before you dive into workflows and Docker containers, let’s get to know each other. Drop your intro below - keep it simple. 🎯 What to share: - Your name (first name is fine) - What you’re currently automating (or trying to) - Your biggest automation pain point right now - One thing you hope to build here No need to write an essay. A few sentences works. I’ll go first: I’m Kjetil from Stavanger, Norway 🇳🇴 Principal Consultant with 15 years in IT - specializing in Azure Cloud, DevOps, and automation. These days I’m deep into self-hosted automation with n8n, running everything from a $10 Hetzner server. I got tired of watching SaaS bills climb every month and losing control over my data and workflows. That’s when I went all-in on self-hosting. Now I run n8n workflows, TTS, video processing, and S3 storage on a single server. I use Airtable as my CRM and orchestration hub, but everything else is self-hosted. I've been experimenting with NocoDB (open-source Airtable alternative) and replicated about 80% of my Airtable workflows - completely self-hosted. I'll be sharing those templates as I build them out. Outside work, I love tinkering with Docker, GitHub, and homelab projects. When I’m not deploying containers, I’m hanging out with my wife and two kids. Why I built this community: Honestly, the self-hosted automation space is a mess. You’re piecing together info from 47 different YouTube videos, praying your Docker containers don’t break at 2am, and there’s no clear path from “hello world” to production. I want to change that. My goal: Help you build automation that saves money, runs reliably, and doesn’t hold you hostage to subscription pricing. Now you - drop your intro below! 👇

Hi guys i wanted to have a self-hosted system for learning but also cost saving. Been in IT for network engineering most of my life. I wanted to work on building a AI Automations service, ie learn how to build, design, improve and help others save time with their businesses as well. I am NOT a programmer or developer, but i am a quick study and tend to learn new things relatively quickly that interest me. I got started in this space cause i wanted to create something that can be helpful to people get their time back with daily tasks we do from the simple to more complex. Ill share a short video on something very complex i built on my own, just using AI tools to help me build it. some key take aways is always to ask - What is the best way... what is the best prompt for this role... Based on everything we have discussed thus far - (frame this for prompt, role, task, lessons learned, etc.) Always ask for the AI to audit, find ways to improve, and ALWAYS go off of real-world examples for what is good/bad examples. for reference, this helps A LOT, i have found.

A Full Digital Product workflow -
Here is a rough overview of a automated ebook / digital product creation workflow(s). Feel free to ask questions. https://www.loom.com/share/dcd9a5c0d8164bc0a208f47092ddc60d Here the ebook for review - https://pub-0efcc41bf8d3495e831acec3c597d433.r2.dev/ebooks/the-stress-free-digital-product-launchpad-go-from-idea-to-profit-even-if-you-hate-tech-get-stuck-on-every-word-final.pdf Now remember at no point was there any human interaction in creating any of this content? It's all AI obviously you can change the styling and quality of images -but I feel like being able to create Content from basically an idea and have a engine do it all autonomously and this could apply to really anything was pretty cool
