ok… I couldn’t install docker with postgres so I did it with sql and that’s it I hope I don’t miss out in the future because I will have to look for someone to help me install it thanks friends

It’s mostly just preference. If you are already familiar with MySQL or Postgres, use what you know. If you just want simple and lightweight, use it with SQLite (no external database).

If you design an application, choosing database would be a big deal, but since you are the user, you can choose whatever you want. My go to is postgre though.

docker w/ postgres, but really up to you. Either would be fine.

Cloudron (free tier - 2 apps). Get a server, install Cloudron, install n8n from the app store. Done.

I wouldn’t know if someone can help me.

I have this has my Portainer Stack and all the variables configuration in the environment variables but while container works fine when first access, it reset when I edit the container or update and I have to create a new login.

I discovered recently that while other containers works fine, the worker container wouldn’t.

I’m new to docker and container and would appreciate help
