Most tutorials only cover the basics. In this one, I'm going deeper: queue mode, Ollama integration for free unlimited AI, worker scaling, and two real-world workflows built from scratch. You'll get a step-by-step walkthrough of everything ā from buying the VPS and claiming your free domain, to setting up Google OAuth, connecting Ollama as your free AI model, and scaling your n8n instance with workers via the terminal. This breakdown will show you how self-hosting n8n actually works ā shifting your mindset from "I'll just use the cloud plan" to "I own my automation stack completely." š Resources & Useful Links - n8n Official Site: https://n8n.io - Ollama: https://ollama.com - Google Cloud Console: https://console.cloud.google.com - Google AI Studio (Gemini API Keys): https://aistudio.google.com š Timestamps 00:00:00 ā Introduction & What You'll Learn 00:01:31 ā Localhost vs n8n Cloud vs VPS 00:03:17 ā What Makes This Tutorial Different 00:03:57 ā Buying Hostinger VPS (Plan & Coupon Code) 00:05:59 ā Choosing Server Location & Queue Mode OS 00:07:08 ā Billing, Registration & Free Domain 00:08:44 ā n8n Setup & Community Edition License Key 00:10:33 ā Testing Gemini API in n8n (And Why It's Limited) 00:13:15 ā Installing Ollama on the VPS via Terminal 00:15:54 ā Connecting Ollama to n8n (Credentials & Test) 00:17:37 ā n8n Workers & Queue Mode Architecture Explained 00:19:29 ā Adding & Scaling Workers via Terminal 00:22:07 ā How Queue Mode & Redis Work (Behind the Scenes) 00:23:42 ā Workflow 1: Google Sheets Lead Summary Email 00:24:28 ā Setting Up Google OAuth (Cloud Console) 00:30:22 ā Running & Testing Workflow 1 00:32:17 ā Workflow 2: AI Agent Email Sender 00:36:51 ā Outro & Conclusion š What this video covers Here's everything you'll learn: - Why VPS beats localhost and n8n Cloud for serious automation work - How to deploy n8n on Hostinger with one-click queue mode setup - What n8n queue mode is, how Redis fits in, and why it prevents crashes - How to install Ollama on your VPS and get free unlimited AI ā no API cost - How to configure n8n workers and scale for high-traffic execution - How to set up Google OAuth credentials in Google Cloud Console - How to build a Google Sheets ā Gmail lead summary automation - How to build an AI agent that sends emails on your behalf š Tools & Stack Mentioned Build & Hosting: n8n, Hostinger VPS, Docker, Redis AI Models: Ollama, Llama 3.2, Gemini API (Google AI Studio), ChatGPT Integrations: Google Sheets, Gmail, Google Cloud Console šÆ This is perfect for: - Freelancers and agencies running client automations who need zero downtime - Founders who want to cut n8n Cloud costs by 50%+ and own their data - Developers who want to run free local AI models inside n8n workflows - Anyone who's tried basic n8n hosting but wants to scale it properly - Indian marketers and builders looking for the most cost-effective n8n setup Self-hosting n8n is not just about saving money ā it's about having complete control over your automations, your data, and your scale.
