Overview

The Docker InfluxDB WHMCS module uses a specially designed workflow for n8n to automate deployment processes. The workflow provides an API interface for the module, receives specific commands, and connects via SSH to a server with Docker installed to perform predefined actions.

Prerequisites

Installation Steps

Install the Required Workflow on n8n

You have two options:

Option 1: Use the Latest Version from the n8n Marketplace

Option 2: Manual Installation

Add a new server to the system WHMCS.
System Settings->Servers->Add New Server

image-1741287291552.png

Attention: Important Information

The hostname field represents the actual domain of the server running Docker and must match the server_domain parameter in the n8n workflow. If they do not match, communication will not function correctly.
Additionally, this domain must be configured so that all its subdomains resolve to the IP address of the server running Docker.

image-1741287929855.png

In the Server Details section, select the "PUQ Docker InfluxDB" module and enter the correct username and password for the API endpoint in the n8n workflow.

Additionally, in the Access Hash field, insert the URL of the API entry point for the n8n workflow.
