Application Scenarios
- Cloud service providers managing containerized n8n services via WHMCS/WISECP for automated deployment and maintenance.
- IT operations teams automating Docker container management to quickly respond to business demands.
- Containerized workflow platforms requiring dynamic storage mounting and flexible resource configuration.
- Enterprises needing API-based integration for container lifecycle and user permission management.
Main Workflow Steps
- Receive API Request: Accept POST requests with operation commands via a Webhook node, performing authentication.
- Initialize Parameters: Set basic parameters such as server domain and directory paths.
- Domain Validation: Verify the validity of the request domain; reject invalid requests with an error response.
- Command Routing: Use a Switch node to route requests based on command parameters to corresponding operation flows (container operations, service commands, status queries, etc.).
- SSH Remote Execution: Execute corresponding bash script commands on the target server via SSH node to perform container start, stop, deployment, disk mounting, permission adjustments, log queries, and more.
- Result Processing: Parse command output and generate standardized JSON responses for the caller.
- Security Management: Control access permissions via Nginx and ACL configuration files, supporting dynamic updates and reloads.
Involved Systems or Services
- Docker: Container management and runtime environment.

Automate Assigning GitHub Issues
This workflow is designed to automate the handling of issues and comments in GitHub repositories. It intelligently determines whether a responsible person needs to be assigned and automatically assigns unassigned issues to appropriate users. It can recognize requests from users who proactively claim tasks, avoiding duplicate assignments and significantly enhancing project management efficiency. Whether in open-source projects or internal enterprise development, this workflow helps accelerate response times, reduce the burden on maintainers, and achieve more efficient team collaboration.
n8n Workflow Deployer
This workflow implements automated deployment functionality by monitoring a specific folder in Google Drive, automatically downloading and processing JSON files of n8n workflows. After formatting and cleaning, it uses an API to import the workflows into a designated instance and automatically sets tags. Finally, the deployed files are archived into another folder. The entire process requires no manual intervention, significantly enhancing the efficiency of workflow management and deployment, making it suitable for teams that need to manage and update workflows in bulk.
GitLab Merge Request Intelligent Code Review Assistant
This workflow automates the processing of GitLab merge requests, intelligently receiving and reviewing code changes. It leverages advanced language model technology to analyze code differences and provide professional review suggestions, generating scores and decisions of "accept" or "reject." The review results are automatically published to the discussion area of GitLab, helping development teams quickly address issues, improve code quality and collaboration efficiency, alleviate the burden of manual reviews, and standardize review criteria. It is applicable in scenarios such as software development, continuous integration, and open-source project maintenance.
Simple API Endpoint Creation Workflow
This workflow creates a simple API endpoint through a Webhook node, capable of receiving HTTP requests with a name parameter and dynamically generating Google search links as a response. It requires no coding, allowing for the quick setup of a custom query interface, simplifying the complex processes of traditional API development. It is suitable for automation enthusiasts, developers, and educational training scenarios, making it an ideal choice for generating dynamic links.
cheems
This workflow automates the scheduled sending of fun messages and images to a designated Discord channel. It is set to trigger at various frequencies, including every Friday and Saturday at 9 AM, as well as every 30 minutes. This approach effectively enhances community engagement and interaction, reduces the hassle of manual operations, ensures the delivery of interesting content at specific times, boosts user participation, and fosters a positive community atmosphere. It is suitable for community management and teams looking to automate message delivery.
Docker Registry Image Tag Periodic Cleanup Workflow
This workflow automates the management of tags in the Docker image repository by regularly scanning and deleting expired or redundant tags, while retaining only the latest few and the "latest" tag, thereby keeping the repository tidy. After the cleanup, garbage collection is performed, and the operations team is notified of the results via email, with support for failure alerts. This enhances operational efficiency and space utilization, addressing issues of wasted storage resources and management chaos.
Eventbrite Order Status Real-Time Trigger
This workflow automatically captures events such as order creation, updates, and refunds by real-time monitoring of the order status changes in Eventbrite. Once a change occurs, the system immediately triggers subsequent automated actions to ensure timely response and processing of order data. This real-time monitoring mechanism significantly enhances order management efficiency, helping event organizers, marketing teams, and finance departments quickly respond to order dynamics, thereby optimizing customer service and financial processes.
Public Webhook Relay
This workflow receives external POST requests through a public Webhook and automatically forwards them to local processes. It periodically polls for new requests, automatically manages authorization tokens and request statuses, ensuring reliable data transmission. Users can securely receive and process Webhook notifications in a local environment without the need to set up a public server, making it suitable for various scenarios such as development, testing, and data forwarding, significantly improving work efficiency and lowering technical barriers.
