Step 4: Add Environment Variables​

Environment variables are the only required manual configuration for deploying N8N on Kuberns.

Before deploying your N8N workflow automation, add the following environment variable. This allows N8N to connect with Redis for caching and queue management.

Required Environment Variables​

Environment VariableDescription
REDIS_PASSWORDSecret key for the Redis server, used for secure admin authentication

How to Generate Secrets​

For REDIS_PASSWORD, generate a secure random string.

Open your terminal and run:

# Generate REDIS_PASSWORD (24+ characters recommended)
openssl rand -base64 24

Copy the output and use it as your environment variable value.

Add environment variables

Step 5: Deploy​

Once all required environment variables are added:

Click Deploy and Kuberns AI will automatically:

  1. Provision infrastructure including PostgreSQL database and Redis cache
  2. Configure networking and set up SSL/TLS certificates
  3. Enable SSL for secure HTTPS connections
  4. Start the N8N service with proper health checks

Deployment typically completes in 5–8 minutes.

No manual configurations required like on Render or Heroku. Kuberns AI handles everything automatically.
