Network Architecture

Caddy serves as the reverse proxy, handling SSL termination and routing all subdomains to their respective N8N containers on port 5678. All containers communicate via the proxy Docker network.

DigitalOcean Cloud Firewall

The droplet has a DO-level firewall (not OS-level — UFW is inactive). Required inbound rules:

  • TCP 22 (SSH)
  • TCP 80 (HTTP)
  • TCP 443 (HTTPS)

If ports 80/443 are blocked externally but listening on the server, check the DO firewall first.
