In this guide, I’ll show you how to easily install n8n, a powerful workflow automation tool, on your server with FastPanel using Docker Compose. FastPanel is great for managing web servers, and Docker Compose simplifies the deployment of complex applications like n8n with its dependencies (PostgreSQL and Redis).
What You’ll Need
- Your server with FastPanel installed.
- A domain or subdomain you’ll use to access n8n (e.g.,
n8n.yourdomain.com). - Basic knowledge of SSH and command line.
Step 1: Prepare the Server
Connect to your server via SSH and create a directory:

Hi friends! Today, we’re diving into the world of automation and deploying n8n — a powerful workflow automation tool. We’ll install it in Docker, and use HAProxy as a reliable reverse proxy to expose it to the internet.
This guide is created especially for beginners. We’ll go step by step, explaining every command so you not only do it, but also understand how everything works.
Why do we even need HAProxy?
You could just expose n8n’s ports to the internet, right? Yes, but that’s unsafe and inconvenient. HAProxy acts as both a guard and a dispatcher:

VPNCloud: Building Your Private Network in the Cloud
In a world where more and more services are moving to the cloud and remote work has become the norm, secure and private access to your resources is more important than ever. Traditional VPN services, while solving some problems, are often centralized and may not be the most flexible solution for creating your own secure network between multiple servers, devices, or even offices.

Sometimes it becomes necessary to route all outgoing traffic from a specific container through a proxy server. This can be useful for ensuring anonymity, bypassing geo-restrictions, or for testing network configurations. In this article, we’ll look at how to set up such a system using the tun2socks utility and iptables rules, as well as how to manage this process with systemd.
What is tun2socks?
tun2socks is a powerful tool that allows you to redirect network traffic intended for a TUN device through a SOCKS proxy. It creates a virtual network interface (TUN device), and all traffic flowing through it is encapsulated into a SOCKS connection. This is especially convenient when direct application-level proxying is impossible or undesirable.

There’s often a need to host a website, be it a personal blog, a test project, or a small service, directly on a home computer. This is convenient, economical, and provides full control. However, many face the problem of not having a “white” (public) IP address from their internet provider, making direct external access virtually impossible. And even if they do, it’s often dynamic, requiring constant updates via DDNS.
Don’t worry! Today, we’ll dive into the world of network technologies and show you how to overcome this limitation and publish your website online using a powerful and free tool from Cloudflare – Cloudflare Tunnel (formerly known as Argo Tunnel). You won’t need a white IP, port forwarding on your router, or other complex configurations!

Today, we’ll dive into the world of cloud technologies and learn how to deploy the Windows Server operating system on the Yandex.Cloud platform. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to have their own server for various tasks, whether it’s for application testing, website deployment, or even Active Directory creation.
Important Note: Your Own Windows Server Image
Currently, Yandex.Cloud does not provide pre-built Windows Server images. This means we’ll need to prepare a Windows Server image locally, import it into Yandex.Cloud, and then create a virtual machine based on that image. This process requires a bit more effort but gives you full control over your system.

In today’s digital world, where every megabyte counts and stable connectivity is gold, a single internet channel is often just not enough. Maybe you have several external IP addresses gathering dust, or your hosting provider suddenly introduced those “unpleasant” traffic limits, threatening your budget and peace of mind. But don’t panic! PCC (Per Connection Classifier) on your MikroTik router running the updated RouterOS 7.x is your ticket to a world without limits. It allows you to optimize costs and bypass annoying restrictions.
