N8N
Build with the precision of code or the speed of drag-n-drop. Host with on-prem control or in-the-cloud convenience.
Getting started
- Go to https://my.cubepath.com/deploy
- Select a VPS plan (recommended: gp.starter or higher)
- Under Operating System, choose "N8N"
- Click Deploy
Once deployment is complete (~10 minutes), access using your assigned domain:
⚠️ IMPORTANT:
- N8N is NOT accessible by IP - it only works with HTTPS domain
- Your VPS will have the domain: vpsXXXXX.cubepath.net
- SSL certificate is automatically configured with Let's Encrypt
- Access at: https://vpsXXXXX.cubepath.net (replace XXXXX with your VPS number)
