Improve Stability of Self-Hosted Automation Stack
Budget: €30 – €250 EUR
Stabilize Self-Hosted Automation Stack (Coolify + Docker + Cloudflare Tunnel + N8N services)
We’re running a self-hosted automation environment that frequently becomes unreachable through its public URL. The stack uses Coolify to orchestrate several containers (including an automation service, database, and Redis) behind Cloudflare Tunnel and a Traefik reverse proxy on Ubuntu (under WSL2 on Windows).
The setup works most of the time but occasionally stops responding, and we need an experienced DevOps engineer to identify and fix the root causes — networking, proxy routing, or container health.
Your first tasks:
- Diagnose why the hosted N8N service occasionally becomes unreachable
- Audit Docker, Traefik, and Cloudflare configuration
- Fix network or container-level issues
Next phase:
- Build and optimize N8N workflows for business automation (API integrations, triggers, data syncs)
- Create maintainable, modular workflows with clear documentation
Skills Needed:
- Coolify deployment on bare metal
- Docker and Traefik proxy.
- Cloudflare Tunnel
- Ubuntu networking
- N8N and backend services inside coolify (redis, 1 worker, postgresdb).
The candidate will work through a remote desktop + vpn network access.
Please bid for a fixed project fee.
Follow-up work for building out the initial and future N8N workflows will be a separate project (by hour or milestone).
