What You'll Receive
Full Description
Welcome. I'm a DevOps and server automation specialist focused on getting Docker-based stacks and n8n automation workflows running cleanly on VPS servers. Whether you're spinning up a fresh server, trying to recover a broken deployment, or scaling an existing setup, I handle the work end-to-end so your system runs securely and reliably.
I work exclusively with Ubuntu and Debian VPS environments, which are the most stable and best-documented platforms for Docker and Docker Compose deployments. I support every major VPS provider including DigitalOcean, AWS EC2, Hetzner, Vultr, Contabo, Linode, and self-hosted dedicated servers.
My standard deployment covers Docker and Docker Compose installation with optimised daemon configuration, firewall setup using UFW or firewalld, SSH hardening with key-based authentication and fail2ban, Docker network and volume configuration, environment variable and secret management through Docker secrets or .env files, and basic monitoring with log rotation to prevent disk space issues.
For n8n specifically, I deploy the self-hosted version using the official Docker image, configure reverse proxy via Nginx or Traefik with Let's Encrypt SSL, set up webhook endpoints with correct public URL configuration, configure SMTP for email notifications, and wire up database persistence using PostgreSQL or SQLite depending on your scale needs. I will also walk you through importing existing workflows and setting up credentials for common integrations.
On the security side, every deployment includes firewall rules limited to the ports you actually need, SSH port changes and root login disabling, automatic security updates where appropriate, fail2ban for brute-force protection, and documented backup and recovery procedures for your Docker volumes and critical data.
I also handle troubleshooting and rescue work. If you have a broken Docker container, a VPS that has run out of disk, an n8n workflow that will not trigger webhooks, or an SSL certificate that will not renew, I can usually diagnose and fix it quickly.
Before ordering, I need SSH access to your VPS, the OS details, the specific services you want deployed, and any existing configuration you would like preserved. I prefer working through a temporary SSH key that you can revoke after delivery for security. Message me first if your setup involves anything unusual so I can confirm scope and timeline before you order.

Portfolio
Examples of the seller's work related to this Zinn.
Self-Hosted n8n Automation Stack on Hetzner
Deployed self-hosted n8n on a Hetzner VPS running Ubuntu 22.04 with Docker Compose, Nginx reverse proxy, Let's Encrypt SSL, and PostgreSQL persistence. Workflow imports covered email triggers, Slack notifications, and webhook-driven data sync with client's CRM.
Hardened Docker Deployment for Production API
Full production hardening of a Docker-based Node.js API on a DigitalOcean droplet including UFW firewall, fail2ban, SSH key-only auth, automated security updates, log rotation, and Docker volume backups to external object storage. Handover included a runbook for common operational tasks.
n8n Migration from Broken Deploy to Clean Stack
Rescued a client whose n8n instance had stopped receiving webhooks after a partial upgrade. Exported existing workflows, spun up a fresh Docker Compose stack with the current n8n version, reimported workflows, reconnected credentials, and documented the upgrade path for future versions.

Service Details
Frequently Asked Questions
SSH access (IP, username, and a temporary SSH key), your OS details, and a clear list of which services you want deployed — Docker, n8n, databases, reverse proxy, or anything else. Never share root passwords. Always use a temporary SSH key you can revoke after delivery.
All major providers including DigitalOcean, AWS EC2, Hetzner, Vultr, Contabo, Linode, and self-hosted dedicated servers. If your provider is not listed, message me and I will confirm compatibility before you order.
Yes. Every package includes Docker and Docker Compose installation, daemon optimisation, and basic Docker network and volume setup. Both are kept current with the official Docker repositories so you get ongoing security updates.
Yes. I deploy self-hosted n8n via the official Docker image with reverse proxy, SSL, webhook configuration, and database persistence. I can also help you import existing workflows and wire up credentials for common integrations like Gmail, Slack, webhooks, and HTTP requests.
Yes. Every deployment includes firewall rules, SSH hardening with key-based authentication, and basic security best practices. The Full Deploy package adds fail2ban, automated security updates, and advanced SSH hardening.
Yes. Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 11, and Debian 12 are all fully supported and recommended. These are the most stable platforms for Docker and n8n deployments. Other distributions may be possible — message me to confirm.
Yes. I troubleshoot broken containers, failing webhooks, SSL certificate issues, out-of-disk errors, and similar problems. If the issue is straightforward I will redeploy cleanly; if it is complex I will diagnose and quote before proceeding.
The Full Deploy package includes automated backup configuration for Docker volumes and critical data, with documented recovery procedures. The smaller packages can add this as an extra.
Yes. Custom domain setup with Let's Encrypt SSL is included in the Stack + n8n and Full Deploy packages. For the Basic package you can add it as an addon. You will need DNS access for whatever domain you want to use.
Yes. Every order includes a handover document covering what was installed, where configuration lives, how to restart services, how to check logs, and how to restore from backup. The Full Deploy package also includes 30 days of post-delivery support for questions and minor fixes.
