Overview
This workflow automates the management of PostgreSQL and MySQL databases on Linux servers. It leverages conditional logic and SSH commands to streamline database installation and creation, reducing manual intervention.
Key Features
- Database Type Detection: Determines whether PostgreSQL or MySQL actions are required based on input parameters.
- Automated Installation: Installs the necessary database server (PostgreSQL or MySQL) on the target Linux server if not already present.
- Database Creation: Proceeds to create the specified database using secure SSH connections.
- Conditional Logic: Multiple 'if' nodes ensure only relevant actions are executed, optimizing workflow efficiency.
Benefits
- Time Savings: Eliminates repetitive manual setup tasks, accelerating server provisioning.
- Error Reduction: Standardizes database setup, minimizing configuration errors.
- Scalability: Easily adapts to manage multiple servers or database types.
Use Cases
- Rapid deployment of development or production databases.
- Automated onboarding of new Linux servers for web applications.
- Consistent database environment setup for DevOps and IT teams.
Integrations & Processes
- Utilizes SSH for secure server access and command execution.
- Integrates with PostgreSQL and MySQL for database management.
- Employs n8n's conditional and parameter-setting nodes for flexible automation.
