Run N8N Locally on Your Raspberry PI

Quick update: regarding the docker compose file, please ensure in the below line you keep the "." before n8n at the end. This will ensure you maintain saved files, workflows ect. I have updated the file attached and the google drive file
volumes:
- ~/n8n-data:/home/node/.n8n

Hey all, after having a few people reach out and I thought it may be beneficial to share exactly how I have set up my local N8N instance on my Raspberry PI through Docker. I have found this a really reliable way and have even gone the next step to run this through a custom domain on cloudflare to have a custom URL (I plan to make another video on this in the near future!). Here is the link to the step-by-step video I have made and the supporting docs with everything you need to get started.

Hopefully you find this helpful. Sorry for the shameless plug but if you do find it helps, any support on the video and my channel would mean a lot!

Couple of quick notes:

As a friendly FYI if you are going to send the docker-compose file directly to your Raspberry PI, remember to edit the file name once it's on your Raspberry PI to remove the .txt from the file name
Don't judge the video quality too harshly, I don't have the mic skills like

Also probably need to find a prize to give to whoever can correctly count the number of "ums" I say throughout ah😄

Hope it helps!
