This is a Heroku focused container implementation of n8n.
Use the Deploy button above to launch n8n on Heroku. When deploying, make sure to check all configuration options and adjust them to your needs. It's especially important to set N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY to a random secure value.
The default credentials for basic authentication is user:pass, but you should change this during the initial setup.
The default configuration enables basic auth as a fast and simple way to authenticate n8n users. If you prefer the more advanced user management functionality of n8n, add the variables from this guide to your Heroku config vars.
This requires the Heroku CLI as well as Git to be installed. You can find instructions here.
To run the upgrade, open a terminal and enter the below commands:
git clone https://github.com/that-one-tom/n8n-heroku.git
cd n8n-heroku
heroku git:remote -a appname # Replace app name with the actual name of your app
git push heroku main
If you have previously updated n8n, you can skip both the git clone and heroku git:remote commands.
