My homelab is still in its infancy as I’m at the start of my self-hosting journey. I’m now down the rabbit hole though and where I can self host, I’d like to.
Not long back, I asked for some advice regarding an IFTTT replacement. I only need a tiny subset of the service, in that I want it to check some RSS feeds and send a notification if it finds one. The people of the fediverse are amazing and I got some great recommendations, however some felt like a great fit but didn’t pan out. That left me with less and less.
One of the suggestions though was n8n and as I looked into giving it a whirl, I noticed it needed Traefik to be installed.
Now here’s the thing, I haven’t sorted out my router yet and since nothing I’m doing is facing the net, I’m kinda just chilling without a proper set up. I’m wondering, if I install Traefik along with n8n, will it break my other services? Will I still be able to install my homebrew router with OpenWRT when I finally sort that out and will it impact the IPTV which I’ll sort out when I’ve sorted out the router?
Thanks for the advice. I ended up finding an n8n compose file sans Traefik, so this isn’t a problem yet. But what you said about keeping notes on my network changes is good advice. Especially as I get closer and closer to sorting out my router.
