Hey everyone, need some help getting unstuck — a few questions about the VPS + n8n + Cloudflare setup from Part 3.2
We followed the free n8n tutorial (Part 3.1) yesterday step by step:
- Got our domain from Hostinger (moroccanhustlerss-n8n.online)
- Linked it to Cloudflare
- Created a Cloudflare tunnel (named freen8n)
- Installed Docker on our Windows machine
- Ran the cloudflared connector on Windows
- n8n was working, tunnel was Healthy, created our n8n account ✅
Today we bought the KVM1 VPS from Hostinger (Part 3.2). When we open the n8n link provided by Hostinger for the VPS, it asks us to create a new account. Also our Cloudflare tunnel is now Down (Active replicas: 0).
Our questions:
- Is it normal that the VPS n8n asks to create a new account? Or should we somehow import/use the account we created yesterday on our local setup?
- Is the tunnel going Down normal after buying the VPS? We think it's because cloudflared was installed on our Windows machine, not on the VPS — is that correct?
- Should we now install the cloudflared connector on the VPS and point the tunnel route to the VPS n8n instead of our Windows machine? If yes, how exactly?
- What is the correct end state after completing Part 3.2 — should everything be running on the VPS with Windows completely out of the picture?
- Do we need to redo the n8n account setup, or is there a way to migrate the old one?
