For Windows (using Docker Desktop)

If you prefer using Docker’s graphical interface instead of the command line, here’s how I did it

First, launch your installed Docker Desktop and follow the step below

• Step 1: Click on the Images

• Step 2: Click on search images to run

• Step 3: Paste “n8nio/n8n” in the search bar and search

  

• Step 4: Pull the first result of the search

  

• Step 5: Run the downloaded image. A new dialogue box will open

• Step 6: Set a name for your container, like “n8n-demo” or any name

• Step 7: Under “Ports”, map host port 5678 to container port 5678

• Step 8: Under “Volumes”, map your n8n_data directory

• Step 9: Set Container path to /home/node/.n8n In the container

• Step 10: Under “Environment”, add the following variables:

• N8N_COMMUNITY_PACKAGES_ALLOW_TOOL_USAGE=true

• N8N_EDITOR_BASE_URL=https://your-ngrok-url.ngrok.app

• WEBHOOK_URL=https://your-ngrok-url.ngrok.app

• N8N_DEFAULT_BINARY_DATA_MODE=filesystem

• GENERIC_TIMEZONE=Europe/Berlin (or your preferred timezone)
