Independent application with evidence.

Show commands for:
Class 14: n8n homelab automation
Class 14 visual reference. Use it as the map, then prove it in the reading, lesson, and lab.

Overview

Module: Module 5: Workflow Automation (n8n)
Activity type: Homework / independent application
Bloom move: push from guided practice into independent Apply/Analyze
Objective: Given a lab-only Docker network, the learner can run n8n, build an RSS digest workflow explaining item cardinality, and require human approval before any mutating Keep Agent / SSH action.

Learn

Requirements

Complete without peeking at lab hints first. Then compare.

Practice

Independent practice

You do: close the hints. Solve before opening the lab.

Draw your approval boundary on paper: which nodes may run unattended vs which need a human. Implement that boundary.

Application task

  1. Restate the learning objective as a checklist you can tick with evidence.
  2. Produce the build output for this topic: n8n in Docker; RSS digest workflow; guarded Keep Agent; optional n8n→SSH→AI-CLI bridge with a resumable session
  3. Attach workbook evidence (commands, redacted screenshots, tables).
  4. Write three spiral connections: how this topic uses an earlier skill, and where a later module will reuse it.
