Installing and Configuring n8n Cloud

If you prefer not to manage Docker infrastructure, n8n Cloud offers a fully managed environment with public HTTPS webhooks pre-configured.

Setting Up Your Workspace

  1. Register at n8n.io and launch a new cloud workspace.
  2. Select your deployment region (e.g. US or EU) closest to your primary data sources.
  3. Access your instance at https://<your-subdomain>.app.n8n.cloud.

Cloud vs. Self-Hosted Considerations

  • Webhooks: In n8n Cloud, webhook URLs are immediately accessible over public HTTPS without configuring reverse proxies or cloudflare tunnels.
  • Execution Limits: n8n Cloud plans meter workflows by monthly execution counts.
  • Community Nodes: Cloud instances restrict installing arbitrary npm packages from the CLI, but allow verified community node installations.
