Hi,

How can I add external js libraries using this helm chart?

Thank you Dan

Don’t know can you do it with n8n?

Seems like it's messy...

There are a few options:

Side Car Container before n8n start:

  1. Git Checkout
  2. S3 Bucket
  3. Container that contains only the data and copies them on start to runtime.

Traditional Vol:

  1. Volume Mount, question is how to get data in there?

Opt. 3 is the easiest and most versatile. git and s3 have the challenge to add credentials and so on.

Sorry, I have up on n8n (for other reasons), so I didn't try.

I created a new image, it's literally 2 lines of code. Just publish it and set it in the config

@Vad1mo Is there any option without building a custom image to install external js library? We would need the exif-js module installed.

Vad1mo commented 1 month ago

as @rafalkrupinski mentioned, it is only two lines of code, (I guess if you use the existing n8n as your starting point). We for example, use the existing n8n custom image and run npm install -g @aws-sdk/client-athena &&\ just to add our package.

There are a few other options that come into my mind, (sidecar) but they are all more complicated.

rafalkrupinski commented 1 month ago

Well, it is two line of code (FROM and RUN) but then you have to maintain it to keep it up to date, so not so great. We could do an upgrade script and a template repo (image builder with up-to-date n8n with custom deps) but it would require some tests and I'm not sure how to approach it in this case.

samuelrade commented 1 month ago

Thanks! Those are exactly my concerns. If at all possible, I don't want to have to maintain a custom image. Something like image builder would probably be the most sustainable solution.
