n8n is an extendable workflow automation tool.
The Helm chart source code location is github.com/8gears/n8n-helm-chart
8gears Chart Museum location is: 8gears.container-registry.com/harbor/projects/1/helm-charts/n8n/versions/0.1.0
Before you start make sure you have the following dependencies ready and working:
- Helm > 3
- Postgres DB | MongoDB | MySQL | Embedded SQLite
- Helmfile (Optional)
The values.yaml
file is divided into a n8n specific configuration section, and a Kubernetes deployment specific section.
The shown values represent Helm defaults not application defaults. The comments behind the values provide a description and display the application default.
Every possible n8n config can be set that are also described in the: n8n configuration options.
These n8n config options should be attached to Secret or Config. You decide what should be a secret and what should be a config the options are the same.
