The video was sponsored by Hostinger, and the VPS I use below is the one from the video, but every step works on any VPS where you can run Docker - the only Hostinger-specific part is the one-click n8n template. I have added the recording slides as a step-by-step viewer, and every screenshot from the n8n canvas, so you can follow along without pausing the video every ten seconds.</p>
