n8n Docker Boilerplate with PostgreSQL and pgAdmin

Project Overview

The n8n Docker PostgreSQL Boilerplate is a ready-to-use containerized environment I built to simplify the setup and management of n8n, the workflow automation tool. This project provides a clean and structured Docker Compose configuration that bundles together:

• n8n – the powerful workflow automation platform.
• PostgreSQL – a reliable and scalable database for persistent storage of workflows and execution data.
• pgAdmin – a user-friendly database management interface for monitoring and managing PostgreSQL.

This boilerplate demonstrates my ability to:

• Design containerized development environments with Docker and Docker Compose.
• Configure persistent storage for workflows and data, ensuring durability across restarts.
• Set up service orchestration where multiple containers work seamlessly together.
• Integrate admin tools (pgAdmin) for improved maintainability and database visibility.
• Provide environment customization through a .env file for quick adjustments and secure configuration.

The project is particularly useful for developers, teams, or individuals who want to:

• Quickly launch an automation environment without dealing with complex manual setups.
• Explore n8n workflows with production-like persistence.
• Manage their PostgreSQL database easily via a web-based interface.

This boilerplate reflects my expertise in DevOps practices, containerization, and backend integration, as well as my ability to create developer-friendly environments that reduce friction and accelerate productivity.
