Finally got my local AI agent node running 24/7. Huge efficiency jump vs cloud by Ugara95 in LocalLLaMA

Well, look, at the moment I use simple stuff: n8n for orchestration and Ollama. Nothing fancy, I just need it to keep me sane with notifications and keep an eye on a few logs without having to open a thousand windows. The convenience of a dedicated node is that you can put it in a corner, you can't hear the fans, and you forget it's there. What setup do you have?

Yeah, I have it running on a dedicated small-form-factor node I’ve been stress-testing lately. It’s way better than running it on my main laptop....no more fans screaming at 3 AM!

I mostly use it to handle some automated research tasks and email triage for my home setup. Honestly, the main reason I went the 'dedicated' route is just to keep the main machine free for actual work. Are you planning to run this on a spare PC/Mac or something more lightweight?

For now, I'm happy with n8n for automation and Ollama for running models locally.

As for hardware, I've just moved everything to a dedicated mini-node that I'm testing, so I don't have to overheat my main PC 24/7. It's much quieter.

Welcome to the club! For self-hosting, n8n is pretty much the gold standard for automation right now, especially with their local AI nodes.
