# Deploy and Host n8n V2 on Railway

![image](https://i.ibb.co/mCK4Zrwb/Railway-template-cover-image-n8n-V2-0.png)

n8n v2.0 is the next major release of n8n, a powerful, source‑available workflow automation platform for building complex integrations, ETL pipelines, and AI‑driven automations with a low‑code editor. It focuses on security, performance, and long‑term maintainability, while keeping n8n’s flexible, self‑hostable architecture.

## About Hosting n8n V2

Self-hosting n8n gives you full ownership of your automations, without being locked into closed platforms like Zapier, IFTTT, Make.com, or new walled gardens such as Google Opal and OpenAI’s automation system. Unlike these proprietary options that limit integrations, data access, or scaling freedom, n8n is open source, customizable, and portable. Running it on Railway means you get the convenience of a managed environment you control, with the flexibility to migrate anywhere at any time.

## Common Use Cases

- Data integration & ETL pipelines across APIs, databases, and files, including bulk processing. [ETL overview](https://blog.n8n.io/open-source-etl-tools/#n8n-source-available-tool-for-your-etl-workflows)
- AI orchestration: chaining LLMs, tools, and business systems into multi‑step AI workflows. [AI orchestration](https://blog.n8n.io/ai-orchestration/#n8n)
- Automation for activism and operations: replacing SaaS tools like Zapier with private, self‑hosted workflows. [Automations for activists](https://blog.n8n.io/automations-for-activists/#considering-n8n-as-an-alternative)

## Dependencies for n8n V2 Hosting

- Posgres databse (automated setup)
- Redis instance (automated setup)

### Deployment Dependencies

- n8n Docker image: docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n:2.0.0
