Auto Update n8n to Latest Version with Coolify

Say goodbye to manual version checks and deployments!

This automation keeps your Coolify instance always up to date by monitoring GitHub for new n8n releases (beta or stable), updating the environment variable, and triggering a redeploy — all without lifting a finger.

Ideal for DevOps engineers or self-hosters who want CI/CD-style updates with minimal effort.

What it does:

🔄 Monitors GitHub for new beta (every minute) or stable (hourly) releases
🚫 Prevents duplicate deployments using built-in deduplication logic
📦 Extracts clean semantic version numbers (e.g., 1.34.0) from release tags
⚙️ Updates N8N_VERSION in Coolify via API
🚀 Triggers automated deployment on Coolify when new version is found

✅ Setup guide & importable automation included
✅ Supports both prerelease and stable release tracks

📦 Requirements:

Coolify API Token (configured as httpHeaderAuth)

Coolify Application UUID (insert into deployment nodes)

GitHub access (public repo polling)
