Automate PostgreSQL & MySQL Database Operations in Seconds
detail.loadingPreview
Instantly provision, configure, and manage PostgreSQL and MySQL databases on remote servers. This powerful n8n workflow automates installation, database creation, user setup, and even deletion, saving countless hours for developers and operations teams.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow empowers you to fully automate critical database management tasks for both PostgreSQL and MySQL, directly from your n8n instance. Whether you need to spin up a new development environment, provision a staging database, or clean up old resources, this workflow handles it all with a simple trigger. By leveraging SSH commands, it connects to your remote server to install the chosen database, create databases, set up users with specific passwords, and manage access rights. It intelligently branches based on your selected database type and desired action (install, create, or delete), making database provisioning a fast, repeatable, and error-free process.
Key Features
- Dual Database Support: Seamlessly manage both PostgreSQL and MySQL databases.
- Comprehensive Actions: Automate full installation, database creation, user setup, and resource deletion.
- Remote Server Control: Executes commands securely via SSH on your designated server.
- Highly Customizable: Easily configure server details, database type, action, database name, and user credentials.
- Time-Saving Automation: Reduce manual effort and potential errors in database provisioning and maintenance.
How To Use
- Configure SSH Credentials: Ensure you have an SSH Private Key credential set up in n8n, linked to a user with
sudoaccess on your target server. - Define Parameters: Open the "Set Parameters" node and adjust the default values:
server_host: The IP address or hostname of your remote server.server_user: The SSH user for connecting to the server (e.g.,root,ubuntu).server_password: The SSH user's password (or ensure your SSH key is passwordless if not using a password).db_type: Choosepostgresqlormysql.action: Selectinstall,create, ordelete(delete functionality inferred from workflow name).database_name: The desired name for your database.db_user: The username for the new database user.db_password: The password for the new database user.
- Execute Workflow: Run the workflow manually to trigger the automated database operation.
- Monitor Output: Check the output of the SSH nodes for confirmation and connection details.
