autonomic-bot f283a371bb recipe-maintainer: public snapshot (secrets + deployment plans removed, single commit)
Sanitized single-commit public mirror of recipe-maintainer.
- Removed test-ssh/.testenv (live creds); added test-ssh/.testenv.example placeholders.
- Removed plans/ and planned-updates/ (deployment-planning docs) so no client/
  deployment domains appear in the public repo.
- All other secret stores were already gitignored.
- docs.coopcloud.tech retained as a submodule (public upstream).

# n8n — First-Time Setup
## Prerequisites
- DNS: `n8n.<DOMAIN_SUFFIX>` must resolve to the server (wildcard covers this)
- No external dependencies required for default SQLite setup
## Steps
1. **Create the app:**
```bash
abra app new n8n --server <SERVER> --domain n8n.<DOMAIN_SUFFIX> --no-input
```
2. **No secrets needed** for the default SQLite setup. If enabling postgres (`compose.postgres.yml`), generate secrets:
```bash
abra app secret generate n8n.<DOMAIN_SUFFIX> --all -m --no-input
```
3. **Deploy:**
```bash
abra app deploy n8n.<DOMAIN_SUFFIX> --chaos --force --no-input
```
4. **First-time setup:** Open `https://n8n.<DOMAIN_SUFFIX>` in a browser and complete the admin account creation wizard.
## Optional overlays
Edit the app env file to enable optional features:
- **Postgres backend:** Append `:compose.postgres.yml` to `COMPOSE_FILE` and set `SECRET_DB_PASSWORD_VERSION=v1`
- **SSO (traefik-forward-auth):** Append `:compose.sso.yml` to `COMPOSE_FILE`
- **Basic auth:** Append `:compose.basicauth.yml` to `COMPOSE_FILE` and set `N8N_BASIC_AUTH_ACTIVE=true`, `N8N_BASIC_AUTH_USER=username`, `SECRET_ADMIN_PASSWORD_VERSION=v1`
