# Railway Setup: n8n ## Overview - **Project:** otf-n8n (`d3f77fd6-fdda-4e51-9b40-7a6f50a99145`) - **Template:** https://railway.com/deploy/n8n-with-workers - **Domain:** auto.optimified.com - **Port:** 5678 - **Version:** 2.13.3 - **Services:** Primary (`3585df0e`), Worker (`42c2a555`), Redis (`5980dade`), Postgres (`8ba359d5`) ## Key Env Vars | Var | Value | |---|---| | `N8N_EDITOR_BASE_URL` | `https://auto.optimified.com` | | `WEBHOOK_URL` | `https://auto.optimified.com` | | `EXECUTIONS_MODE` | `queue` | | `OFFLOAD_MANUAL_EXECUTIONS_TO_WORKERS` | `true` | | `DB_TYPE` | `postgresdb` | | `DB_POSTGRESDB_HOST` | `postgres.railway.internal` | | `QUEUE_BULL_REDIS_HOST` | `redis.railway.internal` | | `N8N_TRUST_PROXY` | `true` | ## Custom Domain CNAME: `auto` → `primary-production-6878a.up.railway.app` (Cloudflare proxied) **Important:** Two URL vars must both be updated when changing domain: - `N8N_EDITOR_BASE_URL` — the editor UI URL - `WEBHOOK_URL` — the webhook trigger URL ## Access Model n8n community edition doesn't support workflow sharing between users. All team members use a **shared login** via Vaultwarden: - **Email:** shared@optimified.com (alias to mike@optimified.com) - **Credentials stored in:** Vaultwarden → Optimified org → appropriate collection This is the standard pattern for all Optimified tools that need a shared login. ## SMTP Configured for sending invite emails and workflow notifications: | Var | Value | |---|---| | `N8N_EMAIL_MODE` | `smtp` | | `N8N_SMTP_HOST` | `smtp.resend.com` | | `N8N_SMTP_PORT` | `587` | | `N8N_SMTP_USER` | `resend` | | `N8N_SMTP_SENDER` | `noreply@alert.optimified.com` | | `N8N_SMTP_SSL` | `false` | ## Worker Mode This template uses the `n8n-with-workers` variant: - **Primary:** Serves the editor UI and API - **Worker:** Processes workflow executions via Redis queue - **Benefit:** Long-running automations don't block the editor. Better for production workloads. - `OFFLOAD_MANUAL_EXECUTIONS_TO_WORKERS=true` means even manually-triggered runs go to the worker. ## Post-Deploy Steps 1. Wait for migrations to complete (check logs for `Editor is now accessible via:`) 2. Access the editor and create admin account 3. Set `N8N_EDITOR_BASE_URL` and `WEBHOOK_URL` to custom domain 4. Add custom domain in Railway + Cloudflare CNAME ## Issues Encountered - None. Clean deploy.
