Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

May I ask why you consider n8n risky?
Just look at the recent vulnerabilities it had. It just had a CVE 10 in January and March of this year.
https://app.opencve.io/cve/?vendor=n8n
Almost all of them affect authenticated users. The only ones that allow unauthenticated users access are for old versions. So to be honest: I am not that much concerned.
You aren't concerned about a severity 10 vuln? Those are found in software with exceptionally bad qa and abandonware. That should give you pause about how hard n8n is "going fast and breaking things".
Well, this "authenticated user" could be your fucking LLM and this is really concerning. Besides that a single CVE 10 is also very concerning no matter how old the affected version is.
I'm not a slop jockey and I'm watching people plug these kinds of things into public data and having it do operations with financial/business impacts.
I'd rather employ a gremlin to write scripts.
Are you aware that you are not required to run AI with n8n? There are two flavors: With AI and without.
Is there a version of n8n without AI generated code?
If you are asking if you can run n8n without AI, yes. That's what I run. If you are asking whether n8n is free of any AI generated code used in it's creation, I couldn't speak to that.
I see. It uses AI generated code, I just checked.
This is going to be a very difficult hill to die on as time goes on..
OK cool.
lowcode environments are the O.G slop.
That is a profound misunderstanding of AI, wow.
No, you're thinking I'm at the low end of the bellcurve here. When you actually understand what the transformer is doing, you'd understand.
What you're really doing here is showing yourself to be a mark.
Wow! Well, you can keep your attitude.
