n8n

Visual workflow automation with code steps and AI agents, runs on your own server

GitHub 210k Self-hosted Freemium Publisher: n8n Web

n8n is a workflow automation platform. You build flows on a visual canvas that connect apps, APIs and AI models, and you can add JavaScript or Python where a visual step is not enough. It is aimed at people who want to automate their own tools and data without writing a full integration for each service.

The README lists more than 1,500 integrations, AI workflows with tool use and human approval steps, and role-based access with audit trails. It can be self-hosted with Docker. n8n is distributed under a fair-code license (Sustainable Use License), so its source is available but it is not open source in the strict sense.

Quick start

For a quick try only. See the official docs for data volumes, environment variables and a production setup.

Docker image: docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n
docker run -d \
  --name n8n \
  -p 5678:5678 \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n

Then open http://localhost:5678
