Skill audit report

n8n-self-hosting Audit report.

Deploy a production self-hosted n8n end-to-end to a fresh Linux VM over SSH, using Docker Compose behind a Caddy reverse proxy with automatic HTTPS. Use whenever the user wants to self-host, install, set up, provision, or deploy n8n on their own server/VPS/box (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS EC2, bare metal, etc.) — in either single/regular mode or queue mode with workers — or to update, back up, restore, or harden such an instance. This is for SELF-HOSTED n8n (Docker), not n8n Cloud and not building workflows. The skill makes the agent ask single-vs-queue first, collect the domain/SSH/timezone inputs, generate fresh secrets on the box, and bring the stack up with TLS. Trigger on "deploy n8n", "self-host n8n", "install n8n on my server", "n8n docker compose", "n8n queue mode / workers / scaling", "n8n reverse proxy / SSL", "back up / update my n8n", or "we don't want to give every user the OAuth client secret" / "enable the Sign in with Google button" (credential overwrites).
