Hey everyone, I’ve been self-hosting n8n for a while now and helping a few friends get it running without headaches. I’m considering turning this into a small managed service where people could get: a VPS n8n already installed and secured no need to deal with Docker, firewall rules, or updates Before building anything public, I’d like to ask the community: What do you find most annoying when self-hosting n8n? Would you personally prefer self-hosting or a managed setup? What would make such a service actually useful (or not worth it)? Not selling anything here — just trying to understand if this solves a real problem or if people prefer doing everything themselves.

Hi, I am using Cloudflare to redirect the API calls to my domain to EC2, by adding records in DNS (with proxy on), I have also turned on SSL for the domain. Using Cloudflare in the free tier with almost no traffic. It is getting solved if I remove the proxy, but that doesn’t seem right. What can I do? The server is taking up to 1.5 seconds to send data to the frontend mobile app. Is this normal? How can I debug and fix it without compromising on security? What’s the fastest way to get a request from the frontend to the backend?

Hi guys, NOTE: I apologize for my text (I use a translator), I’m from Brazil. When I started working on this integration, I initially planned something simple. The idea was to have an AI assist users with site issues, using strict restriction rules to avoid problems. However, during development, I kept the access open (without strict restrictions) to build out the features. One thing led to another, and I ended up creating almost 100 tools/integrations. The exponential capability of AI is both fascinating and scary at the same time! Currently, the tools I’ve created (via AI) allow the agent to do almost everything clients usually ask for: Read, modify, and create files in public_html Manage emails Manage DNS zones Manage Cron jobs Manage Subdomains Since I’m not an expert programmer, I opted to build this in modules. This way, if I need to fix or improve something, I don’t break the rest. I also separated Reseller and User/Hosting access. The authentication is handled via DirectAdmin Login Keys, and access restrictions depend on the commands allowed in the API. The Problem:I hit a wall I wasn’t anticipating at the start: Scalability.Right now, I can’t scale this easily because I need to replicate the setup for every access/user. I know I could solve this by exposing an API via HTTP, but that introduces major security concerns. I’ve already spent a lot of time ensuring the LLM doesn’t have access to API info and that reports are sanitized. I’m currently on vacation and working on this whenever I find a gap, but I wanted to highlight the potential here again. If I simply create a hook between my support system and this integration, the LLM (which has agentic behavior) could read a support ticket, interpret it, and if appropriate, actually execute the fix (for the simple tasks mentioned above). Obviously, this would require broader access. I’ll continue studying this integration. Without trying to be a doomsayer here, if you don’t realize the consequences of what I described above, check out the screenshots attached. I asked for simple things, and you can see the AI’s performance using the tools. submitted by /u/chuvadenovembro [link] [comments]

Thinking back to your first hosting experience. What was the exact reason you decided to switch hosting? Slow speed, down time, support issues or pricing, or something else? Curious what the most common breaking point is. submitted by /u/HotAuthor6438 [link] [comments]
