Frequently asked questions about n8n VPS

Everything you need to know before hosting n8n on a VPS

What is n8n?

n8n is an open-source, self-hosted workflow automation platform. It lets you build integrations between 400+ apps and services without code (no-code/low-code), similar to Zapier, but fully under your control. Ideal for those who want privacy, savings and unlimited executions.

Which VPS should I choose for n8n?

For personal use or small businesses, the Starter VPS with 2 GB of RAM is enough. For professional production with multiple workflows and complex integrations, we recommend a VPS with 4 GB of RAM or more. With EasyPanel or Coolify, installation is automatic, in 1 click.

Does n8n work with Docker?

Yes! n8n was designed for Docker, which is the recommended way to install it. Our VPS with EasyPanel and Coolify already include pre-configured Docker and let you deploy n8n in minutes using ready-made templates.

What is the difference between n8n and Zapier?

n8n: self-hosted (your data on your server), open-source, no execution limits, cheaper in the long run and with customizable code.

Zapier: SaaS (third-party cloud), proprietary, execution limits per plan, growing recurring costs and limited customization.

n8n is ideal for those who value privacy, savings and full control.

Do I need to know how to code to use n8n?

No! n8n has a visual drag-and-drop interface: you can build complex automations without writing code. However, if you know JavaScript, you can create custom nodes and advanced logic. It is a flexible no-code/low-code tool for all levels.

How does installation with EasyPanel or Coolify work?

Both panels have ready-made n8n templates. All you need to do is:

  1. Choose a VPS with EasyPanel or Coolify.
  2. Access the panel after activation.
  3. Click "Deploy" and select the "n8n" template.
  4. Set up the domain (automatic SSL).

That is it: n8n running in 5 minutes.

What is the difference between n8n with a panel and a direct installation on the VPS?

VPS with n8n (direct installation): n8n comes pre-installed and configured on the VPS, ready to use right away via IP or domain. It is best for advanced users who know how to configure SSL/certificates manually and prefer full control via the command line. It does not include automatic SSL.

VPS with EasyPanel or Coolify: a visual control panel that lets you install n8n and other applications (WordPress, databases, APIs) in 1 click. Full management through a web interface, with automatic SSL (Let's Encrypt), backups, logs and monitoring. Ideal for beginner or intermediate users who want ease of use.

Recommendation: for most users, we recommend the VPS with EasyPanel or Coolify, for its ease of use, automatic SSL and visual interface. Choose the direct installation only if you are an advanced user and need full control of the server.

Does n8n use a lot of VPS resources?

n8n is quite lightweight: at rest it uses about 100 to 200 MB of RAM. While running workflows, usage varies with complexity. For most cases, 2 GB of RAM is enough. Workflows with heavy processing (images, PDFs, lots of data) benefit from 4 GB of RAM or more.

Can I connect n8n to WhatsApp, Telegram and others?

Yes! n8n has nodes for the WhatsApp Business API, Telegram, Discord, Slack and 400+ other services. You can build chatbots, send automatic messages, respond to webhooks and much more, integrating with the main communication platforms.
