Self-hosted AI local infrastructure loop
A stale but relevant local AI infrastructure workflow showing how the self-hosted n8n/Ollama/Qdrant/Postgres starter kit was adapted for day-to-day AI Ops use with local setup, startup, backup, restore, and recovery notes. It belongs as runtime evidence because it explains the infrastructure substrate behind agent and automation experiments.
Workflow
Self-hosted AI local infrastructure loop
- Run the local setup script to prepare the n8n-based AI infrastructure environmentaction
- Start the local Docker Compose stack for n8n, Ollama, Qdrant, and Postgres-backed workflowsaction
- Operator reviews the local n8n UI and workflow behavior before treating the environment as usable evidencedecision
- Create backup artifacts for local n8n state before risky changes or recovery workaction
- Restore from backup or decide whether to run the destructive encryption-key repair scriptdecision
