# n8n
|
|
|
|
## What it is
|
|
|
|
n8n is the self-hosted workflow automation platform running as a Docker container in the PBS infrastructure stack. It serves as the central automation hub connecting external services (Gmail, Google Drive, Instagram, YouTube, Cloudflare, Supabase) with internal systems (WordPress, pbs-hub, the Obsidian vault, OB1). n8n handles event-driven pipelines, scheduled jobs, webhook receivers, and multi-step data flows that would otherwise require custom code.
|
|
|
|
## Current state
|
|
|
|
Active. Current and planned automation workflows include:
|
|
- **Email-to-vault pipeline** — Gmail → n8n → Gitea → Obsidian vault (session note ingestion)
|
|
- **Cloudflare cache warming** — Daily sitemap crawl + Cloudflare cache purge triggers
|
|
- **Instagram automation** — Reel detection webhook, content hub sync
|
|
- **OB1 parallel write** — n8n writes to both wiki-vault and OB1 simultaneously (planned)
|
|
- **WordPress log monitoring** — Log event alerts via n8n
|
|
- **SSH login alerting** — journald tailer → n8n → Google Chat
|
|
- **YouTube analytics** — YouTube API → n8n → Streamlit pipeline (planned)
|
|
- **PBS SEO automation** — Google Search Console data → Claude API → meta generation
|
|
|
|
## Where it lives
|
|
|
|
- PBS Linode Docker stack, behind Traefik ingress
|
|
- Accessible via Traefik routing (internal + possibly tunneled)
|
|
- Persistent data in Docker volume
|
