Module
automationInstalling it
Open the dashboard, go to Apps, press Add on it and apply the change. Or from a terminal on the box:
sudo homebox install automationWhere to open it
| Service | Port | First login |
|---|---|---|
| n8n | :5678 | The first visit asks you to create the owner account. |
Open it at your box's address with that port — the dashboard links to it directly once it is running.
Good to know
- The encryption key is generated at install and stored in .env — lose it and every saved credential in n8n becomes unreadable
- Webhooks need N8N_HOST and WEBHOOK_URL to match the address callers actually use, or the URLs it hands out point nowhere
- SQLite is the default here and fine for home use; swap to Postgres only if a workflow starts timing out on writes
