Questions
Can I move my existing n8n workflows?
Yes. Export them from your current instance as JSON and import them, or ask the assistant to move the database for you.
Do I get updates?
You decide when to update. Ask the assistant to update n8n and it will back up first.
Can I run other apps on the same server?
Yes. It is a full VPS with root access, so you can add anything else that fits in the resources.
