# Deploy and Host N8N-PUPPETEER on Railway

N8N-PUPPETEER is a self-hosted workflow automation platform powered by n8n, bundled with Puppeteer browser automation and PostgreSQL persistence. It enables users to create automated workflows, scrape websites, interact with browser-based applications, and connect APIs through a visual low-code interface.

## About Hosting N8N-PUPPETEER

Hosting N8N-PUPPETEER on Railway provides a fully managed deployment experience for browser automation and workflow orchestration. This template combines n8n for automation, Puppeteer for headless browser control, and PostgreSQL for workflow storage and execution history.

Railway automatically provisions networking, deployment infrastructure, environment variables, and persistent services, allowing developers to launch production-ready automation systems quickly. The included Puppeteer support enables advanced tasks such as web scraping, automated testing, authentication flows, PDF generation, and browser interaction workflows directly inside n8n pipelines.

This setup is ideal for teams building scalable automation systems without managing Docker infrastructure manually.

## Implementation Details

Example environment configuration:

```env
DB_TYPE=postgresdb
DB_POSTGRESDB_HOST=${{Postgres.PGHOST}}
DB_POSTGRESDB_PORT=${{Postgres.PGPORT}}
DB_POSTGRESDB_DATABASE=${{Postgres.PGDATABASE}}

Example Puppeteer workflow use cases inside n8n:

```javascript
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
  headless: true
});

const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com');

const title = await page.title();

await browser.close();

return title;
```
