# Self-Hosted n8n with Cloudflare Zero Trust
This repository contains the configuration to self-host n8n using Docker Compose or Podman, with Traefik as a reverse proxy and secured by Cloudflare Zero Trust.
This setup is based on the excellent tutorial by Kjetil Furas: [Self-Host n8n with Cloudflare Zero Trust and Docker](https://kjetilfuras.com/self-host-n8n-with-cloudflare-zero-trust/).
## Overview
The goal of this setup is to provide a secure, scalable, and easy-to-maintain n8n instance. The key components are:
* **n8n:** The core workflow automation tool.
* **Traefik:** A modern reverse proxy.
* **Cloudflare Tunnel:** To securely expose the n8n instance to the internet without opening firewall ports.
## Getting Started
1. Clone this repository.
2. Follow the instructions in the [original tutorial](https://kjetilfuras.com/self-host-n8n-with-cloudflare-zero-trust/) to set up your Cloudflare Tunnel and obtain the necessary credentials.
3. Create a `.env` file and populate it with your configuration. You can use the `.env.example` file as a template.
4. Proceed to the appropriate documentation for your container engine.
## Documentation
Detailed setup and usage instructions are located in the `/docs` directory:
* **[Docker Usage Guide](./docs/docker-usage.md)**: For running the stack with Docker Compose.
* **[Podman (Rootless) Setup Guide](./docs/podman-setup.md)**: For a full setup guide on a rootless Podman host.
* **[Traffic Security Analysis](./docs/traffic-security-analysis.md)**: A breakdown of the security for ingress and egress traffic.
* **[Backup and Restore Guide](./docs/backup-and-restore.md)**: Instructions for backing up and restoring your **Docker** data volumes. The script handles container lifecycle and dynamic naming.
* **[Changelog](./CHANGELOG.md)**: For a full list of changes from the original tutorial and ongoing updates.
