In the world of workflow automation, n8n has emerged as the undisputed king for power users. Unlike Zapier or Make, which charge you per task and hide their best features behind paywalls, n8n offers a fair-code model that gives you unlimited potential—especially when you self-host it.
But here lies the problem: Self-hosting is a bit hard.
Managing Docker containers, configuring Nginx reverse proxies, setting up SSL certificates, and maintaining PostgreSQL databases is a full-time job. You want to build workflows, not manage Linux servers.
Enter travos.ai.
In this guide, we'll show you how to get the full power of a self-hosted n8n instance with the ease of a managed service. No terminal required.
Before we dive into the "how," let's remind ourselves of the "why."
You could rent a VPS on DigitalOcean or Hetzner, SSH into it, and run docker-compose up. But then you're responsible for security patches, backups, and uptime.
Travos.ai is a PaaS (Platform as a Service) built specifically for deploying complex applications like n8n with zero friction.
By default, n8n uses SQLite, which is fine for testing but chokes under heavy loads. Travos.ai automatically provisions a managed PostgreSQL database alongside your n8n instance. This ensures your execution history is fast, reliable, and scalable.
We don't just throw resources at the wall. Our pods are configured with a smart split:
Forget certbot. Travos.ai handles all the networking, ingress, and SSL termination automatically. Your instance is secure (HTTPS) from the moment it boots up.
Ready to start? Here is how easy it is.
Visit travos.ai and scroll to the PaaS Configurator. Select n8n from the product catalog (you'll also see upcoming products like Typebot and Baserow marked as "Coming Soon").
This is where Travos.ai shines. Instead of forcing you into rigid pricing tiers, you get granular control over your infrastructure:
As you adjust each slider, the real-time price estimator shows you exactly what you'll pay per month. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Pro Tip: Start with the free tier (1 vCPU, 512MB RAM, 1GB SSD, SQLite) to test your workflows, then scale up as needed. You can upgrade resources at any time.
Once you've configured your perfect stack, click "Deploy n8n". Behind the scenes, Travos orchestrates the Kubernetes pods, sets up the persistent volumes, configures your chosen database, and routes the traffic.
In less than 2 minutes, you'll have a secure HTTPS URL. Open it, create your admin account, and you're in.
Your value as an automation expert lies in the workflows you build, not the servers you maintain. Travos.ai gives you the freedom of self-hosting without the headache of DevOps.
Ready to scale your automation business? Deploy your n8n instance on Travos.ai today and experience the future of managed self-hosting.
