Backup n8n Workflows to Bitbucket

Description

An automated backup solution designed for self-hosted n8n users to automatically backup their workflows to Bitbucket, leveraging Bitbucket's free private repository offering.

Perfect for maintaining version control of your n8n workflows without additional costs.

How it works:

Compares each workflow with its version in Bitbucket
Only uploads workflows that are new or have changed

Create a Bitbucket App Password with repository write access
Add Bitbucket credentials to n8n (using your username and app password)
Set up n8n API access (generate API key in your n8n instance)
Configure your Bitbucket workspace and repository names in the Set node
Optional: Adjust the backup schedule (default: 2 AM daily)
