Self-host n8n
Workflow automation tool for automating tasks
Deploy n8n on your own instance with Freehold in one click. Freehold runs the container, issues the TLS certificate, keeps your data on a persistent volume, and gives n8n a free Tor .onion address — with no identity check to sign up and a hard cap on what it can cost you each month.
How n8n runs on Freehold
n8n runs in its own container with its own volumes on a private network — nothing else on Freehold can reach its data or its ports.
A valid HTTPS certificate and a free Tor v3 .onion address are provisioned at deploy time. You can also run n8n onion-only.
Turn on automatic image updates and the container is replaced on a new release; your volumes are never touched.
Download a ZIP of n8n's volume data from the dashboard whenever you want. No SSH.
Metered hourly with a hard monthly ceiling. Stop n8n and the charges stop.
Sign up with an email or GitHub. There is no identity check to run n8n, at any usage level.
Questions about self-hosting n8n
- Do I need to verify my identity to deploy n8n?
- No. Freehold asks for an email and a password, or a GitHub login. There is no ID upload, phone verification, or business check to deploy n8n — and none introduced later as your usage grows.
- Is my n8n instance private?
- Each n8n deployment is an isolated container with its own storage on a private network. It gets a free Tor .onion address alongside its normal URL, and you can run it onion-only so it is reachable exclusively over Tor.
- How much does running n8n on Freehold cost?
- You pay for the hours n8n is actually running, metered hourly, with a hard monthly ceiling on the app so the bill can't run away. Stop the app and billing for it stops. There is no flat subscription and no setup fee.
