Nice n8n videos❤. i am on Standard Mode. I would Like to set up a big n8n Instance, but how i will handle binary data? Now i store binary data in The filesystem, because thats The way to handle big files. Perhaps you can setup a big n8n imstance on docker and Show us the Performance advantages an how to handle big binary files 😉
First I set it up on a digital ocean droplet in a docker container. Then I switched to google compute engine ec2 micro free tier, again in a docker container
Is there a way to automatically backup the workflows created in the Queue Mode in an ongoing manner? This will help in case the railway instance ever gets corrupted. Open to your guidance if I should think about this in a different way. Thank so much! PS: The railway deployment was so simple. I'm saving $15/month vs n8n Cloud. Can't thank you enough!!
Ben - this is a great tutorial. Two questions: The railway template says there would be additional egress fee for redis. Is that on top of $5/month? On the template’s discuss forum, folks have mentioned they are having trouble upgrading to the latest version. Is that anything to be concerned about? Thanks so much!
Railway charges based on resource usage. Their $5 plan includes $5 worth of resource usage per month. If you go over $5 then you'll get charged for whatever extra you use, which I think is fair. Network egress is part of their charges, which according to their pricing page is $0.10 USD per GB used. With light use, I have yet to go over $5 of usage in a month, but YMMV. I just upgraded (redeployed) my n8n instance on railway when I saw your comment and it upgraded from v1.56 to 1.59 without any problems. You should always test it out yourself and be comfortable with it though.
Hello Ben, I wanted to let you know that your referral link in the description is malformed. It looks like the tag didn't pick up the referral url, a simple copy paste fixes it but I dont want you to miss out on the referrals.
ahhh thanks for this heads up! It's frustrating because the linking is controlled by RUclips. I've changed the link to one without a "?" in the link and it works properly now. Thanks again!
Hi Ben, I am interested to know, is Railway a hosting service like Hetzner & Digital Ocean? How reliable are their services? And How do u get started, interested in taking a deeper dive into this
Railway is a deployment platform, meaning it deploys web based applications or services using projects from Github (your own or other's repos). Its pricing is resource-based, only pay for what you use. I would liken it to be more like Heroku or Vercel than Hetzner & DO, but with some advantages over these two. Instead of running a dedicated server/VPS, think of it more like utilizing cloud resources that can scale up or down based on your needs to run your web apps or services.
@BenYoungAI i spun up a kerbenetes cluster and got n8n running running in queue mode with replicas and a webhook node with redis and postdres I just need to figure out how to add flowise and langchain now
What method do you prefer to self-host n8n?
