n8n Local Development with Docker

This repository contains configuration to run n8n locally using Docker.

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Getting Started

1. Build nodes

npm i
npm run build

2. Start n8n and PostgreSQL:

docker-compose up -d

3. Access n8n in your browser at: http://localhost:5678

4. To stop the containers:

docker-compose down

Configuration

The setup uses PostgreSQL for data persistence. All n8n data is stored in the postgres_data volume.

The n8n configuration is stored at ~/.n8n on your host machine.

Additional Commands

• View logs:

docker-compose logs -f

• Restart n8n:

docker-compose restart n8n

Custom Nodes

This setup includes support for custom nodes. Custom nodes are stored in the custom-nodes directory.

Working with Custom Nodes

1. Make sure you have Node.js installed on your local machine
2. To build the custom nodes:

# Make the build script executable
chmod +x build-custom-nodes.sh

# Build the custom nodes
./build-custom-nodes.sh

3. After building, restart n8n for the changes to take effect:

docker-compose restart n8n

Creating a New Custom Node

1. Create a new directory in the custom-nodes directory
2. Add your node's TypeScript files and package.json
3. Build the nodes using the build script
4. Restart n8n

For detailed information about creating custom nodes, refer to the n8n documentation.
