Update the system<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we start installing n8n and its prerequisites, we need to update the packages to their latest available versions. To do that, execute the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt update -y &amp;&amp; apt upgrade -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-install-nodejs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-2-Install-NodeJS\"><\/span>Step 2. Install NodeJS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order for n8n to be installed, we need to install NodeJS first. To install NodeJS, execute the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">curl -sL https:\/\/deb.nodesource.com\/setup_lts.x | sudo -E bash -<br><br>apt update<br><br>apt install nodejs<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To check the NodeJS version, execute the command below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">node -v<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:~# node -v<br>v24.14.0<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-install-postgresql-database\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-3-Install-PostgreSQL-database\"><\/span>Step 3. Install PostgreSQL database<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next is to install the PostgreSQL database service, since n8n uses SQLite as a database backend. To install the PostgreSQL database service, execute the command below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once installed, start and enable the database service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl start postgresql &amp;&amp; systemctl enable postgresql<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To check the status of the service, execute the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl status postgresql<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:~# systemctl status postgresql<br>\u25cf postgresql.service - PostgreSQL RDBMS<br>     Loaded: loaded (\/usr\/lib\/systemd\/system\/postgresql.service; enabled; preset: enabled)<br>     Active: active (exited) since Thu 2026-03-05 19:16:38 CST; 2min 58s ago<br> Invocation: 37862c786fb14711b2ad5c63215631c9<br>   Main PID: 39039 (code=exited, status=0\/SUCCESS)<br>   Mem peak: 2M<br>        CPU: 17ms<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we can create an n8n database user. First, log in to the PostgreSQL shell by executing the following commands one-by-one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">su postgres<br><br>psql<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once entered, the shell should look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">postgres@host:\/root$ psql<br>psql (18.3 (Ubuntu 18.3-1))<br>Type \"help\" for help.<br><br>postgres=#<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To create the n8n database, n8n user, and grant the required privileges, execute the commands below one-by-one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">CREATE DATABASE n8ndb;<br>CREATE USER n8nuser WITH SUPERUSER PASSWORD 'StrongDBPasswordHere';<br>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE n8ndb TO n8nuser;<br>\\q<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To exit from the postgres user, just type exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">postgres@host:\/root$ exit<br>exit<br>root@host:~# <\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-4-add-n8n-system-user\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-4-Add-n8n-System-User\"><\/span>Step 4. Add n8n System User<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have all the prerequisites except the n8n system user. We need to create a system user to install n8n under that user. To do that, execute the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">adduser n8n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>After this command, you will be prompted to enter a password. Once done, we need to grant sudo privileges to the newly created n8n user:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">usermod -aG sudo n8n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-5-install-n8n\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-5-Install-n8n\"><\/span>Step 5. Install n8n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we have all prerquisites for n8n installation. To install it, first log in to the n8n user:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">su - n8n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To install n8n, execute the following command, and it will automatically install n8n into the home directory of the n8n user:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo npm install -g n8n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>It will require the password of the n8n user so you can execute the command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">n8n@host:~$ sudo npm install -g n8n<br>[sudo: authenticate] Password:<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The installation will start, and you need to allow a couple of minutes to finish. Once done, run the following command to create the .n8n directory, which is essential for the configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">n8n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The output should look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Finished building workflow dependency index. Processed 0 draft workflows, 0 published workflows.<br><br>Editor is now accessible via:<br>http:\/\/localhost:5678<br><br>Press \"o\" to open in Browser.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Stop the process with CTRL+D, since we will manage n8n as a service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we need to create an environment file with the database credentials we set before:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">\/home\/n8n\/.n8n\/.env<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Paste the following lines of code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">DB_TYPE=postgresdb<br>DB_POSTGRESDB_HOST=localhost<br>DB_POSTGRESDB_PORT=5432<br>DB_POSTGRESDB_DATABASE=n8ndb<br>DB_POSTGRESDB_USER=n8nuser<br>DB_POSTGRESDB_PASSWORD=StrongDBPasswordHere<br>DB_POSTGRESDB_SCHEMA=n8ndb<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Save the file and exit. Then log out from the n8n user:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">n8n@host:~\/.n8n$ exit<br>logout<br>root@host:~#<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-6-create-a-systemd-file\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-6-Create-a-systemd-file\"><\/span>Step 6. Create a systemd file<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We need to manage n8n as a service; thus, we need to create a systemd file for it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>nano \/etc\/systemd\/system\/n8n.service<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paste the following lines of code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">[Unit]<br>Description=n8n<br>After=network.target<br><br>[Service]<br>User=n8n<br>WorkingDirectory=\/home\/n8n\/.n8n<br>EnvironmentFile=\/home\/n8n\/.n8n\/.env<br>ExecStart=\/usr\/bin\/n8n<br>Restart=on-failure<br>RestartSec=5s<br><br>[Install]<br>WantedBy=multi-user.target<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Save the file, close it, and reload the daemon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl daemon-reload<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To start and enable the n8n service, you can use the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl start n8n &amp;&amp; systemctl enable n8n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To check the status of the service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl status n8n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get output similar to this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:~# systemctl status n8n<br>\u25cf n8n.service - n8n<br>     Loaded: loaded (\/etc\/systemd\/system\/n8n.service; enabled; preset: enabled)<br>     Active: active (running) since Thu 2026-03-05 20:00:46 CST; 1min 7s ago<br> Invocation: 892510db0e954fa391a0aad28244dfd6<br>   Main PID: 41577 (MainThread)<br>      Tasks: 19 (limit: 4027)<br>     Memory: 387.4M (peak: 704M)<br>        CPU: 27.872s<br>     CGroup: \/system.slice\/n8n.service<br>             \u251c\u250041577 node \/usr\/bin\/n8n<br>             \u2514\u250041595 node --disallow-code-generation-from-strings --disable-proto=delete \/usr\/lib\/node_modules\/n8n\/node_modules\/@n8n\/task-runner\/dist\/start.js<br>Mar 05 20:00:59 host.test.vps n8n[41577]: Finished migration MigrateExternalSecretsToEntityStorage1771500000000<br>Mar 05 20:00:59 host.test.vps n8n[41577]: n8n Task Broker ready on 127.0.0.1, <strong>port 5679<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, the n8n service is running on port 5679, and in the next step, we will set up a reverse proxy so we can access the n8n installation via a domain name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-7-install-nginx-and-create-a-reverse-proxy\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-7-Install-Nginx-and-create-a-Reverse-Proxy\"><\/span>Step 7.
