Using
n8n
Last reviewed
The glue for everything personal: news digests, my LinkedIn pipeline, alerting. Self-hosted, so the data stays mine.
Patterns that work
- Human approval through a Telegram Wait node before anything is published
- Signed webhooks instead of open ones
- One global error workflow that alerts me
Setup
Self-hosted on Coolify. Instance-level MCP is enabled, but only for workflows I explicitly expose.
