CentOS-to-Ubuntu VPS Migration & n8n
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I’m ready to rebuild my GoDaddy VPS: it currently runs CentOS and hosts my company websites behind Nginx with SSL enabled. I want the server re-imaged to the latest stable Ubuntu, with every element of the existing stack preserved and an additional n8n instance installed.
Scope of work
• Perform and store an off-box, full backup of all site files, databases, and current Nginx configurations before any changes begin.
• Re-provision the VPS on Ubuntu, harden the OS, and apply basic firewall rules.
• Restore my websites, bringing Nginx back online with the original virtual host blocks and SSL certificates so no visitor notices the change.
• Install n8n (Docker or native systemd service—whichever fits best on Ubuntu) and expose it securely over HTTPS generating new certificates as needed.
• Hand over a brief runbook outlining backup location, key commands, service status checks, and how to update n8n going forward.
I’ll supply root SSH access and any domain-side DNS changes you request. The job is complete when the site loads normally, SSL labs shows an A grade, and n8n opens at its new sub-domain or port without warnings.
