Real question for this community — how much time do you spend setting up n8n before you even build a single workflow?
I used to waste hours every time.
Install Ubuntu. Configure Docker. Set up nginx. Debug SSL errors. Mess up the reverse proxy. Start over.
And then FINALLY... open n8n.
I got so frustrated with this that I just built a solution for myself — and eventually turned it into something others could use too.
The idea was simple: what if you could skip ALL of that and just get a URL in your inbox, click it, and start building?
No VPS. No Docker. No DevOps. Just n8n — ready in seconds.
I've been running it for a while now and honestly it changed how fast I can prototype and test automations.
Curious — how are you all currently hosting your n8n? Self-hosted VPS? n8n cloud? Local machine?
Would love to hear what setups people are using here — and if you've cracked a setup that's actually painless, please share. I'm sure others here need it too. 👇
