I have self-hosted n8n and it works as intended. I did run into issues when I would restart my computer and not realizing that I had to run the docker container to reach my internal host. There was a learning curve with connecting to my Gmail which includes Google Sheets and Google Drive but I got that figured out as well even though it’s a bit different from using the n8n cloud version. Now I’m struggling to configure Telegram since it’s not straight forward how it is connecting when having an n8n cloud account. Not sure what else that I will run into in the future that will need some configuration while self-hosting. So I started thinking about future clients and if it would be best to use the n8n cloud version compared to self-hosting. Any thoughts and suggestions would be highly appreciated.
