Want to turn your local n8n instance into a production-ready automation hub - without buying a domain or paying for hosting?
In this step-by-step tutorial, I’ll show you how to expose your self-hosted n8n (running in Docker) to the internet using Ngrok — 100% free.
You’ll learn how to:
✅ Preserve your workflows and data across containers
✅ Set up secure environment variables like WEBHOOK_URL and EDITOR_BASE_URL
✅ Use Ngrok to get a public HTTPS domain
✅ Authenticate and deploy your tunnel
✅ Run your n8n workflows from anywhere — just like n8n cloud (but without the bill)
This setup is perfect for testing, building, or running production automation + Telegram, Youtube, Gmail, and more.
