Local n8n Lab Up and Running
Built my first working n8n automation lab (commit 1).
Goal was simple: a local setup where I can build webhook-based automations, but still expose them to external services when needed.
Stack is pretty minimal:
  • n8n in Docker
  • Postgres for persistence
  • Cloudflare Tunnel for public webhook URLs
  • small shell scripts to start/stop/test everything
What matters:
  • I can tear it down and rebuild it cleanly
  • workflows persist across restarts
  • webhooks work externally via a temporary public URL
  • local UI + external access both work at the same time
Next step is building reusable automation patterns (webhook → transform → API → response).
This is the base layer for everything I’ll build on top.
