Step 3: Add Necessary Information
You will be taken to the server creation page after successfully integrating your DO account. Now you need to provide the Server name, your preferred Server Size (CPU, RAM, Storage) and Region nearest to you and your visitors. Only, MySQL 8.0 database server is now available. By default Database, the ‘Root’ Password is auto-filed but you can change this and save it in a safe place. We recommend at least a 2GB/ 1 shared CPU server for 10-20 sites with cache enabled. And for a site whose pages cannot be cached (e.g. WooCommerce site) we recommend a 4 GB / 2 dedicated CPUs server.[!NOTE] Precisa de ajuda visual para esta etapa?

Deploy n8n on DigitalOcean Server with ORIV
With ORIV’s One Click Apps feature, you can deploy n8n with ease. Follow the steps below to quickly set up n8n in a demo or production environment with ORIV.🔖Recommendations
Here are some key suggestions to help you optimize your setup and get the best results 👉🏻🌐Web Server for Deployment
Though you can deploy n8n applications from both NGINX and OLS server, we recommend deploying n8n on an Nginx server for the best performance and stability. While you can use an OLS server, Nginx generally provides a more reliable experience.⚙️ CPU Requirements
We recommend using a server with more than 1 CPU when running n8n. A 1 CPU server may not function as expected, so choosing a server with higher resources will help ensure smooth and successful operation. Note: n8n is available in our plans, including the free plan. But you have to upgrade to our PRO plans to access the Environment feature. This guide shows how to set up or deploy n8n on a DigitalOcean server in ORIV. Follow the steps to quickly launch, configure and start your cloud journey.Step 1: Access One Click Apps
Begin by logging into your ORIV account. Once logged in, navigate to your dashboard and click on the ‘Add New Site’ button.[!NOTE] Precisa de ajuda visual para esta etapa? Entre em contato com o nosso suporte em support@oriv.cloud.You will then be asked to ‘Choose a Server to add Site’ from the dropdown. You must select the DigitalOcean server you set up in ORIV from this dropdown. Then click ‘Next’.

Step 2: Set Up the n8n Application
In the site setup screen, you will be prompted to enter basic site information. Provide a ‘Site Title’ and add relevant ‘Tags’ to help organize your deployment. At this point, you can choose between two deployment modes: ‘Go Live’ for a production-ready deployment or ‘Demo Site’ for testing purposes. Selecting ‘Go Live’ will immediately create a live environment, while choosing ‘Demo Site’ allows you to experiment in a staging environment before promoting to production.[!NOTE] Precisa de ajuda visual para esta etapa?

Step 3: Configure Domain Settings
If you select the ‘Demo Site’ option, ORIV will assign a temporary subdomain for your n8n application.[!NOTE] Precisa de ajuda visual para esta etapa? Entre em contato com o nosso suporte em support@oriv.cloud.Note: Once a demo site is promoted to a live environment, you cannot revert back to using the demo domain. Ensure your choice aligns with your deployment goals before proceeding.
Step 4: Configure and Install the Site
Then, a default ‘Port’, ‘Site User’ will be selected automatically. Then choose a ‘Timezone’ for this site. Once all settings have been configured, click the ‘Next’ button to proceed. Note: We recommend leaving the port and site user as default.Step 6: Add Your Custom Domain
You can add your own ‘Domain’ to host the site by going to the Domain section. Also, you can add an ‘Additional Domain’ with your custom domain.[!NOTE] Precisa de ajuda visual para esta etapa? Entre em contato com o nosso suporte em support@oriv.cloud.
