Automate Daily Backup of n8n Workflows to GitLab
This workflow automates the daily backup of n8n workflows to a GitLab repository, ensuring version control and synchronization. It compares current n8n workflows with their GitLab counterparts and updates the repository if changes are detected.
The workflow retrieves all workflows from a self-hosted n8n instance, compares each with the corresponding file in a GitLab repository, and updates the repository if differences are found. It uses HTTP requests to interact with APIs, code nodes for comparison, and looping mechanisms to handle multiple workflows. The setup requires configuring GitLab API credentials and mapping workflows to GitLab paths.
