# de.captica.n8n
Customize n8n installation
This project contains a Dockerfile to build a Docker image for [n8n](https://n8n.io/), a free and open-source node-based workflow automation tool.
The original image of n8n is based on an alpine image which has some unusable tools

## Prerequisites
- Docker installed on your system
- Access to a Docker registry (optional)
## Building the Docker Image
To build the Docker image, navigate to the project directory and run the following command:
```bash
docker build -t de.captica.n8n .
```
This will build the Docker image using the Dockerfile in the current directory.
## Running the Docker Container
### To run the Docker container, use the following command
```bash
docker run -d -p 5678:5678 --name n8n de.captica.n8n
```
This will start a detached Docker container named "n8n" and expose port 5678 on your host machine. You can access n8n at http://localhost:5678 in your browser.
### Customizing the Docker Image
To customize the Docker image, you can modify the Dockerfile and rebuild the image. Here are some examples of customizations you might consider:
1. Add custom workflows: Copy your workflows into the /data directory in the Dockerfile.
2. Set environment variables: Use the ENV directive in the Dockerfile to set environment variables for n8n.
3. Install additional packages: Use the RUN directive to install additional packages using apt-get or npm.
