How to deploy n8n without Docker or a VPS
On Zenith there is nothing to install. Pick n8n, pay $20 a month, choose an address, and n8n is live in about two minutes, with no Docker, no rented server and no command line.
1.Open the n8n page
Go to the n8n page in the catalogue. The price is shown before you pay: $20 a month.
2.Click Deploy and pay
Click Deploy and pay by card. Apple Pay and Google Pay also work where your device supports them. You can pay before you have an account. Your monthly subscription starts when the payment goes through.
3.Choose your address
After payment you are signed in to a new account. Add your name, username and email, then choose the Zenith web address n8n will live at. There are no servers or settings to manage for it.
4.Wait about two minutes
Most apps are live in about two minutes. A status screen shows progress and turns into an Open n8n button when n8n is ready. If it says n8n is still finishing its first start, give it another minute.
5.Open n8n and build your first workflow
Click Open n8n, follow its first-time setup, then build your first workflow in the visual editor. n8n is set up to build its editor and webhook links from your app's address, and from your own domain once you add one. Want your own address, like automate.yourcompany.com? Follow the add-your-own-domain guide.
6.Who it suits
People who want to connect their tools and automate routine handoffs with a visual editor, without learning server setup. One fixed price covers the app.
7.What you still manage yourself
You build and run your workflows, and you keep the logins and keys for the apps you connect. Zenith looks after the server, the secure address and app updates. When a new version of n8n is added to the Zenith catalogue, Zenith rolls it out to your app. Keep your own copy of workflows you rely on.
