Workflow name
Hostinger daily VPS snapshot and server metrics

Keep your Hostinger VPS servers secure with automated backups! This n8n (self-hosted) workflow for is designed to create daily snapshots and send server metrics effortlessly, ensuring you always have an up-to-date recovery copy.

Key Features: ✅ Automated Snapshots: Daily execution with zero manual intervention. ✅ Smart Replacement: Hostinger allows only 1 snapshot per VPS—the workflow automatically replaces the previous one. ✅ Notifications: Alerts via WhatsApp (Evolution API) or other configurable channels for execution confirmation.

Quick Setup: Prerequisites:

Install the Community Node n8n-nodes-hostinger-api and n8n-nodes-evolution-api in your n8n instance.

Generate a Hostinger API Key in their dashboard: hpanel.hostinger.com/profile/api.

Workflow Configuration: Add the Hostinger API credential in the first node and reuse it across the workflow.

Customize the schedule (e.g., daily at 2 AM) and notification method (Evolution API for WhatsApp, email, etc.).

Important Note: Hostinger overwrites the previous snapshot with each new execution, keeping only the latest version.

VPS Metrics avaliables (send in messages):

🔹Status: snapshot status 🔹Date: snapshot date time 🔹Server: server name 🔹IP: external server IP

⚙️ Métrics: 🔹 Number of vCPUs 🔹 Ram usage / avaliable 🔹 Hard Disk usage / avaliable 🔹 Operational Sys and version 🔹 Uptime time (days, hours)

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/3807/3807.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
