Auto Update n8n to Latest Version with Coolify

Automatically detect new n8n releases (stable or beta) from GitHub, update Coolify environment variables, and trigger deployments.

Functionality

This workflow automates deployment of n8n releases to a Coolify instance. It supports two tracks:

1. Beta Releases: Checks GitHub every minute for prereleases, filters duplicates, updates the N8N_VERSION environment variable, and deploys.
2. Stable Releases (disabled by default): Checks the latest stable release hourly and deploys.

Key Features:

• Deduplication: Ensures no repeated deployments for the same release.
• Version Parsing: Extracts the semantic version (e.g., 1.34.0) from GitHub release names.
• Coolify Integration: Updates environment variables and triggers deployments via API.

Expected Outcomes

• New n8n beta/stable releases detected via GitHub API.
• Coolify environment variable N8N_VERSION updated to the latest version.
• Automatic deployment triggered in Coolify.

Setup Guide

1. Replace Placeholders:

   • Update m8ccg8k44coogsk84swk8kgs in the Update ENV and Deploy nodes with your Coolify Application UUID.

2. Configure Credentials:

   • Add Coolify API credentials (httpHeaderAuth) with a valid API token in the headers.

3. Enable Triggers:

   • Toggle the Auto Update Latest Release node if stable releases are desired. Adjust schedule intervals as needed.

4. Test:

   • Run the workflow manually to validate API connections and version parsing.
