detail.loadingPreview
Automate the creation of a complete MERN stack development environment in just 10 seconds. This n8n workflow streamlines the installation and configuration of Node.js, MongoDB, Git, and essential development tools, saving you valuable setup time.
About This Workflow
Tired of manually configuring your MERN stack development environment every time? This n8n workflow automates the entire process, deploying a fully functional MERN stack setup in a fraction of the time. It begins with essential system preparation, then seamlessly installs the latest Node.js and npm packages, configures MongoDB with your preferred version, sets up Git and the GitHub CLI, and even installs crucial development tools like VS Code and Docker. Designed for efficiency, this workflow significantly reduces setup friction, allowing developers to focus on building applications rather than wrestling with infrastructure.
Key Features
- Rapid Deployment: Get your MERN stack ready in approximately 10 seconds.
- Customizable Parameters: Easily adjust Node.js version, MongoDB version, server credentials, and user details.
- Comprehensive Tooling: Installs Node.js, npm, MongoDB, Git, GitHub CLI, VS Code, Docker, and more.
- System Preparation: Automates package updates and installation of essential system utilities.
- SSH Integration: Leverages SSH to execute commands remotely and configure your development server.
How To Use
- Import the Workflow: Load this JSON snippet into your n8n instance.
- Configure 'Set Parameters' Node: Update the
server_host,server_user, andserver_passwordwith your server's SSH credentials. Adjustnode_version,mongodb_version,username, anduser_passwordas needed. - Set Up SSH Credentials: In the
credentialssection of the SSH nodes (System Preparation, Install Node.js & npm, Install MongoDB, Install Git & GitHub CLI, Install Development Tools), ensure you have a valid SSH private key credential configured (refer to thecredentials.sshPrivateKey.idandnamefor guidance). - Run the Workflow: Trigger the workflow manually from the 'Start' node. The n8n instance will then execute the series of SSH commands to set up your MERN stack environment.
