Save Thousands Self-Hosting Secure AI Hub: Cloudflare + Coolify VPS n8n Setup Guide!

Hey everyone! 👋

Want to save thousands and take control of your own secure, self-hosted open-source AI powerhouse? I’ve got you covered! I made a video and PDF guide walking you through setting up an N8N server with Coolify on a Hostinger VPS, paired with Cloudflare for security and speed. From snagging a domain to deploying N8N with PostgreSQL—it’s all here, step-by-step.

Here’s the kicker: once you’ve got this running, it’s just a couple of clicks to deploy tens of killer open-source AI tools like Flowise, NocoDB, Crawl4AI, and more—an arsenal of power at your fingertips! I love VPS over cloud for this setup because it gives you static, dedicated resources—no surprise compute costs from intense Crawl4AI runs or accidental overages. Perfect for dev environments and keeping control in your hands.

Special thanks to my friend Quentin Daems for introducing me to the awesomeness of Coolify. You can support me by grabbing at least a year of VPS hosting from Hostinger here: VPS Hosting | Get a Powerful KVM-based Virtual Server

It’s all free for you—download, watch, and start building! What do you think—any fave open-source tools you’re excited to try? Planning some epic workflows? Drop a comment below!

And last but very far from least, much love to
