Install Flow

How to self-host n8n

n8n can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what n8n does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, dependencies, and where to find the original compose template.

If you searched for n8n Docker, n8n Docker Compose, or self-host n8n, this page is the direct landing page for that app in Yantr's catalog.

After deployment, Yantr also lets you publish additional ports later from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use mappings like 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random host port for container port 8080.

Use Cases

What people run it for

Automate notifications by connecting services - get Slack alerts when GitHub issues are created or when a sensor triggers.

Sync data between apps - automatically copy new rows from Airtable to Google Sheets, or backup form submissions to a database.

Create self-service portals - let users trigger predefined workflows without technical knowledge.

Build AI workflows - chain LLM calls, vector databases, and other AI services for document processing or chatbots.

Ports

These are the standard container ports Yantr knows about for n8n. You can keep the default mapping, remap them, or publish extra ports later after deployment with Docker syntax such as 3000:3000 or 3000.
