XServer VPS Unveils the 'n8n' App Image for Enhanced Workflow Automation
On June 20, 2025, XServer Co., Ltd., based in Osaka, Japan, introduced a new offering within its VPS (Virtual Private Server) service known as 'XServer VPS.' This exciting development includes the provision of an app image for 'n8n,' a powerful workflow automation tool that enhances operational efficiency without requiring extensive technical knowledge.
What is n8n?
'n8n' is an open-source automation tool that allows users to link various applications and services through no-code or low-code solutions. This means even individuals without programming expertise can harness its capabilities. The tool is compatible with a wide range of services, including Gmail, Slack, Google Sheets, Notion, and Salesforce.
Businesses can utilize 'n8n' for automating routine tasks, managing information, and constructing notification flows across diverse scenarios. Here are some practical applications of 'n8n':
Automating Sales Responses
When a query arises, customer information can automatically be registered in Google Sheets or a CRM, triggering a notification via Slack to the responsible staff member. Additionally, applicants receive a customized reply email automatically.
Streamlining Invoice Processing
Upon receiving an email with an invoice attachment via Gmail, files can be automatically stored in Google Drive, with detailed records captured in Google Sheets and alerts sent to accounting through Slack.
Real-Time Sharing of Social Media Feedback
Automatically collect and compile posts from X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram into Google Sheets, while receiving real-time notifications on Slack.
Features of the 'n8n' App Image
'n8n' can be utilized in two primary formats: self-hosted and cloud-based. The self-hosted version offers significant flexibility and scalability, enabling custom operations and configurations; however, it necessitates a certain level of server knowledge for setup and management. In contrast, the cloud version requires no setup, making it user-friendly, albeit it can incur escalating costs depending on usage, particularly for long-term operations or extensive workflows.
The 'n8n' app image provided by XServer VPS fuses the advantages of both the self-hosted version's flexibility and the cloud version's ease of use. It allows users to maintain lower operational costs compared to the cloud alternative, making it ideal for those wanting to use multiple workflows continuously.
What is an App Image?
The app image provided by XServer VPS includes essential applications pre-installed, significantly reducing setup complexities and easing the burden of environment creation. Importantly, no additional fees are incurred beyond the standard service charges for using the app image.

XServer VPS offers a variety of app images that serve AI development and operations, including 'Dify' and 'Supabase,' in addition to the new 'n8n' app image. For a comprehensive list of app images available for use, you can visit the provided link on their official site.
