Question How to install n8n?

[arturoeq]

Hi everyone,
I have a VPS with a generic domain and would like to install n8n on a subdomain of a domain added as a service. This is possible?
If so, would you be so kind as to explain to me what the procedure is.

According to Installation - n8n Documentation a good choice could be to create a Docker container for it. But installing that app and maintaining it is not really a Plesk topic.

Hi arturoeq,

You should be able to by first creating a subdomain (go to the domains tab in Plesk and click "Add Subdomain"). Once the sub domain is created just follow through the setup steps to get it installed.

*edited part*

Now looking through the docs a bit, since this isn't running as PHP or anything but instead with docker or NPM there might be a bit more complex. It's possible to do it through Plesk but I never figured out how it works, just know you still need to create the sub domain first (unless you're creating a different server elsewhere in which case you just need to create an A record in the DNS to point to the IP of the other server)

Thanks, maybe someone knows and can help me

Yes, maybe Docker it's the solution, but i don't know how to configure it exactly.
