Glad you're here. You joined a community of builders replacing expensive SaaS tools with self-hosted automation they actually own. 📦 What's Inside: - Complete self-hosted automation stack (n8n, PostgreSQL, Traefik, MinIO, NocoDB, Postiz + more) - Automated deployment — production-ready in under 10 minutes - 4 private GitHub repositories - n8n workflow templates and automation guides - Monthly new automations - Priority support (12-24hr response) 🚀 Your First Steps: 1. Introduce yourself in Start Here 2. Browse the Classroom and get your stack deployed 3. Tag me @Kjetil Furås anytime with questions — I respond within 24 hours 💡 What You're Getting: Real Docker stacks. Real automations. Real guides. Real support from someone who's been doing this for over 15 years. You're not getting theory. You're getting the exact setup I use to run unlimited automations on a $10/month server — no per-execution fees, no vendor lock-in, full control over your data. My goal: Get you running your first self-hosted automation this week. Looking forward to seeing what you build 🏗️ — Kjetil

Before you dive into workflows and Docker containers, let’s get to know each other. Drop your intro below - keep it simple. 🎯 What to share: - Your name (first name is fine) - What you’re currently automating (or trying to) - Your biggest automation pain point right now - One thing you hope to build here No need to write an essay. A few sentences works. I’ll go first: I’m Kjetil from Stavanger, Norway 🇳🇴 Principal Consultant with 15 years in IT - specializing in Azure Cloud, DevOps, and automation. These days I’m deep into self-hosted automation with n8n, running everything from a $10 Hetzner server. I got tired of watching SaaS bills climb every month and losing control over my data and workflows. That’s when I went all-in on self-hosting. Now I run n8n workflows, TTS, video processing, and S3 storage on a single server. I use Airtable as my CRM and orchestration hub, but everything else is self-hosted. I've been experimenting with NocoDB (open-source Airtable alternative) and replicated about 80% of my Airtable workflows - completely self-hosted. I'll be sharing those templates as I build them out. Outside work, I love tinkering with Docker, GitHub, and homelab projects. When I’m not deploying containers, I’m hanging out with my wife and two kids. Why I built this community: Honestly, the self-hosted automation space is a mess. You’re piecing together info from 47 different YouTube videos, praying your Docker containers don’t break at 2am, and there’s no clear path from “hello world” to production. I want to change that. My goal: Help you build automation that saves money, runs reliably, and doesn’t hold you hostage to subscription pricing. Now you - drop your intro below! 👇

A while back I documented the full automation system I built to publish from Notion to WordPress. 51-node sync workflow, 5 Airtable tables, a Python/Pillow image generation API, and an image mapping cache to handle Notion’s expiring S3 URLs. It worked. Never broke. But maintaining it was a different story — every time I needed to change something I had to trace the entire flow to understand what I’d built. So I rebuilt it as a proper app. Same pipeline, proper code. - Notion webhook triggers a sync - Notion blocks converted to Gutenberg HTML - Inline images downloaded, uploaded to WordPress, URLs cached in Postgres - Featured image auto-generated - Rank Math SEO applied - WordPress draft created - Change status to Publish in Notion — goes live The full blog post with all the n8n workflows, Airtable templates, and implementation details is here (still available for premium members): 👉 https://kjetilfuras.com/automate-wordpress-blog-publishing/ The app I built from it is called Notipo. Open source, self-hostable with Docker, or hosted version with a 7-day free trial: 👉 https://notipo.com If anyone here runs a WordPress blog and writes in Notion — give it a try. Honest feedback welcome, especially if something breaks.
