I use n8n self hosted @work and node red on my home assistant instance @home. Both have fantastic use cases but for me I don’t see any useful cases at home yet for n8n. Maybe some scraping of specific news items that don’t provide rss. Home assistant has a great direct addon of node red which let’s you integrate your entities directly with node red. Including notifications to the companion app (Android). @work n8n it is great for processing and optimiseing huge chucks of data for our webshop. It can use logins for office365 (yes I hate it and m$) and saved us a ton of work. Since a few weeks you can even store your own set of data in a light version database which is great for storing some reused datasets.

Give it a go, I just finished the docker with tailscale setup. Using parts of this guide from Alex from tailscale https://youtu.be/guHoZ68N3XM (for the ones saying don’t post yt links, I’ve not seen an add in the past 6 years or so, just use revanced) 2 hickups I had to overcome: a dns issue and different gpu passthrough then jellyfin uses). Reason was unpriviliged lxc in proxmox in both cases. But I prefer an lxc in this case. Just lost 2hrs looking back at old photos, it works great! Rdy for introducing it to my non tech wife!
