Key Features and Highlights
This workflow, built on the n8n automation platform, delivers a comprehensive API backend system for managing and deploying Docker-based MinIO storage services. It integrates full lifecycle management of Docker containers—including creation, startup, shutdown, disk mounting, and unmounting—supports MinIO user management and version querying, and automatically configures Nginx reverse proxy with access control. Triggered via Webhook and executing commands remotely over SSH, this workflow achieves a high degree of automation and flexible remote operations.
Core Problems Addressed
- Automates the management of MinIO Docker containers and related resources, significantly reducing manual deployment and maintenance efforts.
- Enables remote operation and monitoring of storage services through API interfaces, enhancing management efficiency.
- Automatically configures Nginx proxy and access controls to ensure service security and flexible access.
- Resolves container disk mounting and data persistence challenges to guarantee data integrity and service stability.
Use Cases
- Cloud storage service providers requiring rapid deployment and management of multiple MinIO instances.
- Backend API support for automated customer storage service management when using WHMCS or WISECP.
- IT operations teams needing to remotely manage MinIO services and access permissions in Docker environments at scale.
- Integration of storage service monitoring, log viewing, and version management into automated operation and maintenance systems.
Main Workflow Steps
- API Request Reception: Receives management commands from WHMCS/WISECP modules via a Webhook secured with Basic Authentication.
- Parameter Validation: Verifies that the
server_domain
parameter matches expected values to prevent unauthorized operations. - Conditional Branching: Routes requests to different execution paths based on commands such as create, start, stop, mount disk, or modify plan.
- Docker Operations Execution: Executes corresponding bash scripts remotely over SSH to manage Docker containers (start, stop, deploy docker-compose, mount image files, etc.).
- Automated Nginx Configuration: Generates and copies Nginx configuration files, sets up access control lists, and reloads Nginx configuration within Docker containers.
- MinIO Management: Runs commands to query MinIO version and retrieve user lists, providing real-time service status feedback.
- Status Response: Returns execution results to the caller, supporting error handling and detailed log output.

Create a Channel, Add a Member, and Post a Message to the Channel
This workflow can automatically create new channels on the Mattermost platform, add specified members, and send welcome messages. By triggering it with a single click, it eliminates the hassle of manual operations and improves team collaboration efficiency. It is suitable for scenarios such as launching new projects, team expansions, and regularly creating topic-specific channels, ensuring a standardized and unified process. This allows for the quick establishment of a communication environment, enabling team members to receive the information they need in a timely manner and facilitating smooth cooperation.
Google Drive Permissions Audit and Reporting Automation Workflow
This workflow implements an automatic permission audit for Google Drive documents, focusing on identifying files that are publicly accessible or shared with external users. It generates clear audit reports daily, which include file names, permission types, and user information, and sends them via email to relevant personnel. This ensures that the security team can promptly address potential risks and enhance data security management. The process effectively reduces manual intervention, helping organizations to timely discover and rectify overly permissive file permissions, thereby lowering the risk of information leakage.
Plex Automatic Throttler
This workflow achieves intelligent control of download speed in qBittorrent by automatically monitoring the playback status of the Plex media player. When a user is watching a video, the system automatically reduces the download speed to ensure smooth playback; it restores the normal download speed when the video is paused or stopped. This intelligent bandwidth management addresses bandwidth conflict issues in home networks and enhances the online viewing experience, making it especially suitable for users who need to download and watch media simultaneously.
Create, Update, and Retrieve an Entry in Strapi
This workflow is designed to automate the process of creating, updating, and retrieving content entries in the Strapi content management system. Users can quickly set up content fields, create new entries, update their slugs, and finally retrieve the updated content details through a simple manual trigger. This series of operations not only enhances the efficiency of content management but also reduces errors caused by manual intervention, ensuring data accuracy and consistency. It is particularly suitable for editors and developers who need to process content rapidly.
n8nConf Attendee Auto-Registration and Management Workflow
This workflow achieves fully automated processing of participant registration in the conference management system, covering aspects such as information collection, account creation, team invitations, schedule synchronization, and welcome email sending. Through seamless integration of multiple systems, it addresses the cumbersome nature of traditional registration processes and the issue of information silos, ensuring real-time data synchronization and automatic notifications. This allows participants to smoothly join the conference and integrate into the community. It is suitable for large conferences, training events, and internal corporate collaboration, significantly enhancing organizational efficiency and user experience.
Write a File to the Host Machine
This workflow implements the functionality of downloading files from a remote server and directly saving them to a specified path on the local host. Users only need to manually trigger the process, and the system will automatically send an HTTP request to retrieve the file and write it in binary format to the local system. This process greatly improves the efficiency of file downloads, reduces human error, and is suitable for scenarios such as automated backups, regular file fetching, and development debugging, making it an ideal choice for developers and operations personnel.
Automated Backup of n8n Workflows to Google Drive
This workflow is designed to automate the backup of workflow data to Google Drive, supporting both scheduled and manual triggers. The backups are saved in JSON format and organized into folders by date for easier management. By automating backups and cleaning up old folders, users can effectively avoid data loss and enhance the security and reliability of the workflow, making it suitable for individuals or businesses that require regular backups and archiving. This tool significantly improves the operational efficiency of workflows and ensures business continuity.
Automated Task Creation and Management Workflow
This workflow is designed to help teams efficiently handle repetitive tasks in projects through automated task creation and management. It utilizes data triggers from Airtable to automatically retrieve task templates, assign responsible parties, and gather client information, while intelligently calculating key dates to ensure tasks are initiated on time and their statuses are updated in real-time. By employing a highly automated process, it reduces manual operations and enhances the accuracy and efficiency of project execution, making it suitable for various teams that require task management.
