n8n functions as the workflow automation engine for infrastructure and operational tasks.

Namespace: n8n
Image: n8nio/n8n:2.39.5

1. Overview

Workflow automation is centralized within the n8n application. Primary tasks include financial reporting, infrastructure alerting, and meeting management.

2. Configuration and Storage

  • Database: PostgreSQL is used for workflow and execution data persistence.
  • Storage: Persistent Volume Claims (PVC) are utilized for binary data and configuration storage.
  • PVC: n8n-pvc, 5 GiB, Longhorn.
  • Access: Direct NodePort 30567; no Traefik Ingress is required for the current access path.
  • Managed State: Application state is managed via ArgoCD.

3. Operational Standards

Procedures for workflow management:

  1. Triggers: Real-time (Webhooks) and scheduled (Cron) triggers are utilized.
  2. Security: External credentials are encrypted within the n8n internal vault.
  3. Execution: Workflow results are logged and monitored for failure alerting.

4. Integration

  1. Inbound: Webhooks are exposed through the n8n NodePort and Tailnet access path.
  2. Outbound: Integration with Discord, Email, and Notion for notification and data storage.
