Deploy Docker InfluxDB, Backend API for WHMCS/WISECP

Overview

The Docker InfluxDB WHMCS module uses a specially designed workflow for n8n to automate deployment processes. The workflow provides an API interface for the module, receives specific commands, and connects via SSH to a server with Docker installed to perform predefined actions.

Prerequisites

• You must have your own n8n server.
• Alternatively, you can use the official n8n cloud installations available at: n8n Official Site

Installation Steps

Install the Required Workflow on n8n

You have two options:

Option 1: Use the Latest Version from the n8n Marketplace

• The latest workflow templates for our modules are available on the official n8n marketplace.
• Visit our profile: PUQcloud on n8n

Option 2: Manual Installation

• Each module version comes with a workflow template file.
  
• You need to manually import this template into your n8n server.
  

n8n Workflow API Backend Setup for WHMCS/WISECP

1. Configure API Webhook and SSH Access

• Create a Basic Auth Credential for the Webhook API block in n8n.
  
  
  

• Create an SSH Credential for accessing a server with Docker installed.
  
  
  

2. Modify Template Parameters

In the Parameters block of the template, update the following settings:

• server_domain – Must match the domain of the WHMCS/WISECP Docker server.
• clients_dir – Directory where user data related to Docker and disks will be stored.
• mount_dir – Default mount point for the container disk (recommended not to change).

Do not modify the following technical parameters:

• screen_left
• screen_right

Deploy-docker-compose

In the Deploy-docker-compose element, you can modify the Docker Compose configuration. This is generated in the following scenarios:

• When the service is created
• When the service is unlocked
• When the service is updated

nginx

In the nginx element, you can modify configuration parameters of the web interface proxy server.

• The main section allows you to add custom parameters to the server block in the proxy server configuration file.
• The main_location section contains settings that will be added to the location / block of the configuration. Here, you can define custom headers and parameters.

Bash Scripts

Management of Docker containers and related procedures is done by executing Bash scripts generated in n8n . These scripts return either JSON or plain strings.

• All scripts are located in elements directly connected to the SSH element.
• You have full control over any script and can modify or execute it as needed.
