🛠️ Auto n8n Updater for Docker with AI & Telegram Approval

This workflow revolutionizes self-hosted n8n maintenance by running hourly to detect Docker image updates via digest comparison on Docker Hub. It confirms Docker environment, inspects the running container via SSH, fetches GitHub release notes, and uses an LLM to generate concise summaries of new features and fixes.

Upon detecting an update, it sends a Telegram message with the AI summary and approval buttons (✅ Update / ❌ Ignore), pausing until your response. Approval triggers SSH execution of docker compose to pull and restart with the latest image, ensuring seamless updates without downtime risks.

Ideal for n8n users on Docker who want hands-off yet controlled updates. Benefits include time savings, informed decisions via AI insights, and prevention of manual update oversights. Perfect for production setups, reducing security vulnerabilities from outdated versions while minimizing admin effort.
