🚀 Secure n8n Deployment with Caddy & Traefik

🌟 Overview

This repository provides two secure deployment templates for n8n using:

• Caddy – Simple, automatic SSL and reverse proxy setup

Both setups are designed to:

• ✅ Expose only webhooks to the public internet
• ✅ Keep the n8n UI, login, and workflows private using Tailscale
• ✅ Automatically manage SSL certificates via Let's Encrypt
• ✅ Use Docker Compose for easy deployment
