I made a rookie mistake with my first n8n server.
Set it up. Started building workflows. Felt great about saving money on subscriptions.
Then I checked the logs a week later, hundreds of failed login attempts from all over the world. My API keys and workflow data were sitting behind basically zero security.
Spent the next weekend fixing everything I should’ve done on day one.
If you’re self-hosting n8n (or planning to), I wrote about the 8 security steps that actually matter. Practical stuff that takes about an hour to set up.
You’ll thank yourself later.
