## Summary Adding a complete deployment guide for running n8n on OpenShift Local (CRC) - a local alternative to AWS/EKS that runs entirely on a developer's machine. This guide enables testing against an OpenShift environment without cloud costs. ## What's included ### Phase 1: Ubuntu Environment Setup - System requirements validation (CPU, RAM, disk) - KVM and libvirt installation and configuration - NetworkManager setup for DNS resolution - Security group and permission configuration ### Phase 2: Tool Installation - CRC (OpenShift Local) installation and configuration - Helm setup for package management - Required credentials and pull secrets ### Phase 3: Cluster Startup - CRC initialization and configuration - DNS verification - OpenShift CLI (oc) setup ### Part A: Standalone Deployment - Single-pod n8n instance with SQLite database - No external dependencies - Ideal for exploration and local testing - Includes SCC (Security Context Constraints) configuration ### Part B: Multi-Instance Queue Mode - Multi-replica n8n with queue workers and webhook processors - In-cluster PostgreSQL, Redis, and MinIO (S3-compatible storage) - Requires Enterprise license - Mirrors production-ready architecture ### Additional sections - Troubleshooting guide with common issues and solutions - Update and upgrade procedures - Quick reference commands - Stopping/resuming CRC between sessions
