This is a quick start guide to get your first five n8n automations running within an hour, even if you're not technical.
Wow that sounds great. I’ll give them a try today
amazing, let me know if you liked them!
Why did you choose for N8N instead of Make.com?
Great question, several reasons:
- Make can't handle loops gracefully, n8n can
- Make's inline functions are wonky, custom JS functions are premium feature, n8n defaults to JS for manipulating JSON inline
- Make gets pretty expensive if I run lots of operations, n8n self host can do for $5/mo what Make does for $60/mo
- n8n has native AI agent support (they have AI agent nodes), Make didn't (maybe they do now not sure)
- Make scenarios can only have one trigger, n8n can handle multiple
Basically n8n is more versatile for any use case, Make is very limited
Did you already wrote a guide on how to install N8N onto a VPS?
Because then i want to look into moving to N8N instead of make.com.
here's a tutorial on how to install on a DigitalOcean droplet

mind you i'm shit at managing infra and don't entirely know what i'm doing so you might see errors 😂
Hahahahaa, no guarantees on security? ;P But based on this guide and the official guide i will be okay. You can always reset a VPS, os you get unlimited tries
Thanks!
of course no guarantees :D jokes aside this was based on n8n official documentation for the process I just tried to make it more digestible.
