Building the Docker Image

To build the Docker image, navigate to the project directory and run the following command:

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

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.
