n8n Docker Boilerplate with PostgreSQL and pgAdmin
Tecnologies: ain8npostgresdocker
The n8n Docker PostgreSQL Boilerplate is a ready-to-use containerized environment I built to simplify the setup and management of n8n, the workflow automation tool. This project provides a clean and structured Docker Compose configuration that bundles together:
- n8n – the powerful workflow automation platform.
- PostgreSQL – a reliable and scalable database for persistent storage of workflows and execution data.
- pgAdmin – a user-friendly database management interface for monitoring and managing PostgreSQL.
This boilerplate demonstrates my ability to:
- Design containerized development environments with Docker and Docker Compose.
- Configure persistent storage for workflows and data, ensuring durability across restarts.
- Set up service orchestration where multiple containers work seamlessly together.
- Integrate admin tools (pgAdmin) for improved maintainability and database visibility.
- Provide environment customization through a
.envfile for quick adjustments and secure configuration.
The project is particularly useful for developers, teams, or individuals who want to:
- Quickly launch an automation environment without dealing with complex manual setups.
- Explore n8n workflows with production-like persistence.
- Manage their PostgreSQL database easily via a web-based interface.
This boilerplate reflects my expertise in DevOps practices, containerization, and backend integration, as well as my ability to create developer-friendly environments that reduce friction and accelerate productivity.
