Description

This automated n8n workflow delivers an instant DevOps toolkit by installing Docker, K3s, Jenkins, Grafana, and more on a Linux server within 10 seconds. It optimizes performance, enhances security, and provides ready-to-use templates for DevOps projects.

Main Components

• Configure Parameters - Defines server details, tool versions, and credentials
• System Preparation - Updates the system and installs base packages
• Install Docker - Deploys Docker Engine and Docker Compose
• Install Kubernetes - Sets up K3s cluster with kubectl, Helm, and k9s
• Install Jenkins - Configures Jenkins CI/CD server with Docker integration
• Install Monitoring - Deploys Prometheus and Grafana using Helm charts
• Create DevOps User - Establishes a dedicated user with appropriate permissions
• Security Configuration - Implements firewall, VS Code, and Terraform
• Final Configuration - Sets up sample projects and configuration files
• Setup Complete - Provides a summary and access details

Essential Prerequisites

• Linux server with SSH access
• Root-level administrative privileges

Customization Guide

• Adjust tool versions or credentials in the Configure Parameters node
