I second the screenshots sentiment. I’m not a published dev so don’t take this as me throwing shade on your project, however, it’s always something I look for. Tho I do use the cli rather extensively, I’m a sucker for a nice WUI, and it’s always disappointing when I can’t find one in the repository. I then have to search for it adding ‘github’ or ‘docker’ as defining search patterns, because I’ve found that a ton of opensource devs use rather interesting names for their software, which is an education in and of itself.


what you talkin’ about Willis?


Over 10,000 Docker Hub images found leaking credentials, auth keys
That’s rather disconcerting.


Small children really take up a lot of time.
Yeah but that’s awesome

I live in South Korea, brew beer
Way off topic, but I use to be a prolific brewer of beer. In fact the rig that I built can turn 50 gallons of wort in about 3 hours and it’s ready to pitch the yeast in. Brewing beer is a very fascinating process. I also made meads, wines, and have dabbled in sake, tho I wouldn’t say my sake was ready for prime time. LOL And you are a musician. I already like you and I don’t even know you. LOL


Watchtower as it is no longer maintained
Not to take away anything from the OP, but there is a fork of Watchtower that is maintained and works a lot better than the OG Watchtower. The original Watchtower would screw up the update fairly regularly. So, if you want to just yolo your updates, that’d be the way to go. If you want a bit more control, DockCheck seems to have that covered. It’s always good to have choices.

I see these as infrastructure rather than the interesting project itself.
Well, you kind of have to have the infrastructure to make the fun happen. Docker is probably one of the more easy to deploy from the standpoint of someone just standing up a server.
These and thousands of other apps can be deployed via Docker. You don’t have to use docker, you can install on bare metal as well, tho containers make things neat and tidy.
As far as ‘fun’, to me it’s all fun. I selfhost for the utility, privacy, security, and anonymity of it, the educational part of it, and because it’s fun. My version of fun is going to vary widely from yours probably, but I find learning quite fun. Sky’s the limit pretty much.
I’m a dumbass sometimes. LOL
I get it. Some of us are staunch anti-ai. That’s fine. I am not an n8n sales person, but I just wanted to make it clear, there are two versions and you can integrate a host of thing into it. Personally, I would run the AI version with a private AI that doesn’t need an external LLM. But my equipment is not that new and it takes some power to run AI efficiently and effectively. No issues with anyone, it just seemed that there was some confusion.
You can integrate a host of things into n8n including AI, however you can also just run n8n as an automation tool without anything else integrated. It does take a little reading of the docs to figure that out. I am sure that most people run n8n with AI, and admittedly, the front page of the n8n site promotes the AI version because other users would like to run n8n with AI. Some in this thread are suffering from knee jerk syndrome.
Edit: it’s more AI agent shit. Disregard everything. I don’t want to know more.
n8n can be run with the assistance of AI, and n8n can also be run without AI.
There is n8n with AI and there is n8n without AI. I run the n8n without AI. AI is not required to run n8n. Both versions can be run in Docker.


Just deployed it. So nice, much better than what I was using. Thank you so very much.

That is a consideration. I’ve never really had any issues with anything I’ve purchased from NamesCheap, and I’ve used them for years. True, my less than $5 original cost will be $11 to renew but that seems to be the standard introductory pricing scheme most everyone uses. The domain name came with whois privacy included. I hear about PorkBun a lot, but I’ve never used them. I’m sure there are horror stories for NamesCheap and that seems to vary from person to person. However, it is good to be well informed before making your selection.
Just to be clear there are two versions. One with nuts for those who want that AI experience, and one without nuts for the anti-ai faction in the group. The n8n ai-starter kit will spin up n8n with AI. I use the plain n8n mainly because I don’t have the equipment to run an in-house AI properly or rather effectively, and I don’t want to connect to AI exterior of my network. A friend of mine runs the ai-starter kit and does some really impressive stuff with it, but he has all the new toys to properly run it.
Well, I’ve seen datasets from places like Common Crawl, Web Data Commons, Yahoo’s Webscope which can be integrated into something like MeiliSearch. I’m going in kind of blind on this, and I don’t know if it can be pulled off with the datasets that are publicly available. It’s just something that has captured my imagination, and so I am on a fishing trip.
