Automate NPM Package Installation & Updates for Self-Hosted N8N
Automates NPM package installation and daily updates in self-hosted N8N Docker containers, enabling seamless use of libraries like axios in Code nodes.
This workflow automates the installation and management of external NPM packages (e.g., axios, cheerio, node-fetch) directly into self-hosted N8N Docker containers. It eliminates manual npm commands via SSH or docker exec, making libraries instantly available in Code nodes for advanced automations.
Key features include smart detection of missing packages (installs only what's needed), daily scheduled updates to keep dependencies current, and multiple triggers: manual, cron-scheduled, and N8N st
