Quick intro to running n8n in a Docker container and connecting it to another container running Whisper. This is the introduction of a self-hosted-video-starter-kit inspired by n8n's own self-hosted-ai-start-kit. The project can be downloaded here: https://github.com/jaypetersdotdev/self-hosted-video-starter-kit You'll need to have Docker installed. I use Cursor these days for any kind of coding activity. Make sure to copy or rename the .env.example -> .env With Docker installed and your .env file, you should be all set to run "docker-compose up --build" in the root folder of the self-hosted-video-starter-kit project.

One of my goals for this community is to help with content creation. I wanted to use automation and AI to make it easier to build a brand presence online. So I will be live streaming so of that work during the week, then using automation workflows to repurpose those live streams. I'll be live on YouTube and Twitch here: https://www.twitch.tv/jaypetersdotdev https://www.youtube.com/@jaypetersdotdev Feel free to stop by and ask questions and request workflows, live! Also, when I'm not working automation and AI, I have been vibe-coding a full mobile. More to come on that as well, but let me know if you're interested in vibe coding your own app.

I'll have a video up later today demonstrating how to run the Whisper service locally in Docker so you don't have to install Python or Whisper, you can just install Docker and run one command and Whisper will be up and running on your machine or deployable in the cloud. Then you can access it with HTTP request in n8n. I'll also have the code repo for Docker available in this one.
