my n8n local setup

README.md

What this does

• Runs a local n8n container and exposes it over https://localhost:5678 using Caddy for ssl
• Stores n8n data in ./n8n-data so you can keep it in version control

running

docker compose up -d

trust ssl

docker compose cp caddy:/data/caddy/pki/authorities/local/root.crt ./caddy-root.crt
sudo security add-trusted-cert -d -r trustRoot -k /Library/Keychains/System.keychain caddy-root.crt

Caddyfile

https://localhost:5678 {
	reverse_proxy n8n:5678
	tls internal
}
