Official documentation: https://docs.n8n.io/

Getting Started

• Copy and fill the template.env. Rename it to local.env to provide environment variables (see: <TODO>). Passwords for n8n can be generated securely via

  openssl rand -base64 32

• Run n8n-docker-compose.yml to start up the n8n self-hosted service:

  podman-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
  # if you have a docker license:
  docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d

• Open http://localhost:5678/ and create a fake owner account

• Create a credential for iteraGPT API https://docs.n8n.io/credentials/add-edit-credentials/ with a unique API Key.

• Start building agents 🤖

Setup Workflows

• Redis

  Redis is included in the Docker Compose setup. Snapshots are saved automatically (REDIS_ARGS=--save 60 1000):

  • every 60 seconds,
  • but only if at least 1000 keys have changed in that time

• Qdrant

  • Currently runs without API key

• Workflows

  To use the provided JSON workflows you need to import them manually and re-connect subworkflows:

  1. Create a new workflow in n8n.
  2. Rename the workflow so its name matches the JSON file you want to import
     (e.g. if the file is projekt_referenz_schreiber.json, rename the workflow to projekt_referenz_schreiber).
  3. Import the JSON file into the newly created workflow.
  4. After all JSONs are uploaded, you must reapply the subworkflows for projekt_referenz_interview:
  • Open the node that calls a subworkflow.
  • Select the workflow that matches the node’s name.
    For example, in projekt_referenz_interview there is a node calling projekt_referenz_schreiber.
    You need to open that node and select the workflow projekt_referenz_schreiber manually,
    since this is not done automatically by n8n.

  ➡️ In the future this process could be automated via the CLI (n8n import:workflow), but for now the manual steps above are required.

  • Alternative: CLI import (see n8n import docs).

• Community Nodes

  • The Community Node "n8n-nodes-qdrant" may be required
  • See Community Nodes in n8n for installation instructions
