Is it possible to self-host n8n and build all automations on a VPS without relying on paid AI APIs?
I'm trying to build a fully self-hosted automation setup on my VPS — without depending on expensive third-party APIs like OpenAI or external platforms. I already have n8n running, and now I want to automate tasks like:
- Writing blog posts using a local LLM
- Posting on social media
- Responding and sending messages on Telegram
- Sending emails via Gmail
- Scheduling on Google Calendar
- Running bots and webhooks
- Searching my own local database
- Managing files in Google Drive and rows in Google Sheets
My goal is to minimize any usage of paid APIs and keep everything as local and free as possible.
🧠 Is it realistic to build this entirely inside a VPS using only open-source tools?
💡 Do you recommend a specific AI language for building my own agents and local integrations on vps?
Would love to hear what others are doing in this space!
