Vote: which course do I build next?
I searched the classroom lessons for what self-hosters keep asking about on the n8n forum, and kept only what no course covers yet. Four things came out on top. Premium and VIP members pick which one I build next.
1. Lock down your n8n
The courses secure your server and your Cloudflare edge. None of them secure n8n itself. This covers n8n's built-in security audit, which nodes to allow, protecting public webhooks, hiding what executions store, and what to do the day a security advisory lands.
2. Workflows that don't fail silently
The worst failure is the one that says "success" and does nothing. This covers heartbeats, checking the result and not just the status, one alert per incident instead of hundreds, never processing the same thing twice, stopping a slow schedule from overlapping itself, and a safe replay queue.
3. n8n as your AI's toolbox
n8n can be an MCP server, so Claude or any MCP client can call your workflows as tools. This covers exposing a workflow, putting it behind auth and your proxy, connecting a client, and making the agent ask you before it does anything it can't undo.
4. Your homelab security watch
Use n8n to watch everything else you run: certificates and domains about to expire, new CVEs for the images in your compose files, breach alerts for your addresses, readable DMARC reports, and a check on suspicious links.
The poll is open for 7 days. Everyone can vote, but only Premium and VIP votes are counted: the course vote is a Premium benefit. Free members, vote anyway: it tells me what you'd upgrade for. Premium members get the winner first.
Picked one? Tell me in the comments what you'd use it for. If it's a tie, the option with more Premium and VIP members saying they'd use it wins, one per member. Still tied, I pick. The runner-up goes on the next vote.
Pick one.

Run your own AI infrastructure — Docker, homelab, local LLMs, n8n. The stack underneath the automation, and answers when it breaks.
