## Documentation

# n8n + PostgreSQL

n8n is a open-source automation platform. This template aims to provide an affordable, stable and dependable self-hosted workflow service.

## Features

The template includes a single n8n instance (workers are not implemented to keep costs and complexity low) and a PostgreSQL database. It is therefore reccomended to people and entities that do not need to process large numbers of requests. If this is a requirement, take a look to other templates that feature n8n workers. Learn more about n8n workers on the [official documentation](https://docs.n8n.io/hosting/scaling/queue-mode/).

## Setup

You're asked to provide a single variable to get the template up and running.

The variable is `GENERIC_TIMEZONE` and should be set to an appropriate value to get the most out of the [Schedule tool](https://docs.n8n.io/hosting/configuration/configuration-examples/time-zone/). Find your time zone on [momentjs.com](https://momentjs.com/timezone/).

## Documentation

If you encounter any issue, please feel free to contact me. For reference, the projects' docs are available on:

- n8n website: [n8n website](https://n8n.io/) and [n8n first-party integrations](https://n8n.io/integrations)
- n8n self-hosting documentation: [n8n docs](https://docs.n8n.io/hosting/)
- PostgreSQL documentation: [PostgreSQL docs](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/)

_I'm myselft a user of this template, so expect further updates and maintenance._
