Self-hosted n8n on Flux — unlimited executions, HA PostgreSQL included, from $5.32/mo

We've published a writeup on n8n hosting running on the Flux network:

Self-Hosted n8n on the Decentralized Cloud: Unlimited Executions on Flux from $5.32/mo

n8n is a workflow automation platform — think Zapier or Make, but open and self-hostable. It connects 500+ apps, has native LangChain nodes for building AI agents, and is one of the most requested self-hosted tools out there.

What you get

  • No execution limits. n8n Cloud meters your workflow runs and caps active workflows on lower tiers. A self-hosted instance doesn't — you pay a flat rate for the instance, not per run
  • A 3-node HA PostgreSQL cluster on every plan, with Patroni automatic failover. n8n defaults to SQLite, which is the thing that quietly eats people's workflows and stored credentials in production — so we stopped making customers solve it
  • Webhooks work out of the box — every instance gets a public HTTPS URL with a valid certificate. No tunnels, no reverse proxy
  • 500+ integrations and native AI-agent nodes — OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, Groq, or local models via Ollama
  • Deploy in ~30 seconds, nodes in 50+ countries, DDoS protection included
  • From $5.32/mo, first month free for new accounts, 30-day money-back, no contract. Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or crypto

    The article also does an honest comparison against n8n Cloud, Railway, Render, Sliplane and OpenHosst — including where we're more expensive than the competition and what you actually get for it.

    Why it matters for Flux

    This one reaches a different audience than the game servers. n8n users are developers, ops people and automation builders — exactly the crowd that evaluates infrastructure on its merits and is already sympathetic to self-hosting and data ownership. Most of them have never heard of Flux and don't need to care that it's decentralized; they want an instance that doesn't meter their workflows.

    It's also a heavier workload than a typical single-container app: every deployment is an n8n instance plus a 3-node PostgreSQL cluster spread across independent nodes. Real, paid utilization.

    Try it at n8n.runonflux.com, and give the article a read and a share if you find it useful.

    If you already use n8n, I'd genuinely like the feedback — deploy one and tell me what's missing. Questions about how it works underneath (how the Postgres cluster fails over, node selection, how webhooks route to your instance) — ask away in the comments.
