Auto-Check & Flag n8n Version Updates Daily
Daily workflow checks local n8n Docker version against npm latest, flags updates via file signal for easy cron-based handling.
This n8n workflow automates the monitoring of your self-hosted n8n instance's version, specifically designed for Docker on Ubuntu. It triggers daily at 5:00 AM via Schedule Trigger, fetches the latest stable version from the npm registry using an HTTP Request to https://registry.npmjs.org/n8n/latest, and retrieves the current local version from your n8n instance's endpoint (e.g., http://192.168.10.x). A comparison logic then determines if an update is needed, writing 'true' to a check_update.txt
