I support companies and agencies in operating n8n/Docker automation in a production-ready, recoverable, and maintainable way.

A key focus is on technical audits of existing n8n/Docker setups: backup/restore, auth gates, secret handling, reverse proxy, monitoring, update capability, and handover capability. The result is a compact audit report with a risk traffic light, concrete findings, and a prioritized list of actions.

In addition, I build customer-specific automation stacks for SMEs and medium-sized companies – with n8n at the core, plus data storage, access protection, internal TLS PKI, backups, documentation, and optional maintenance. Instead of fragile individual workflows, a operable, documented environment is created that teams without their own platform department can use and hand over.

Typical orders:

• Production-Readiness Check for existing n8n/Docker setups

• Setup of a customer-specific Docker/n8n environment

• Hardening or rebuilding of self-hosting setups

• Implementation of defined processes in new or delivered stacks

• Modules: Appsmith, Metabase, Paperless, MinIO, Offsite Backup, E-Invoicing

• Handover, training, and regulatable technical maintenance

Approach: Processes are translated into data, roles, states, and decisions; the smallest meaningful stack is preferred, not the largest list of tools. My background in philosophy and logic helps to structure complex processes cleanly.

Consciously delimited: no hosting as a platform operator, no enterprise suite, no arbitrary individual workflow service without regard to operation and maintainability, no legal, tax, or security audit. The Production-Readiness Check is a technical visual inspection, not a penetration test.

Stack & Tools: n8n, NocoDB, Docker, Docker Compose, PostgreSQL, Cloudflare Tunnel, REST APIs, Linux.
