Been running n8n with Ollama for a few months now for work automation. Wanted to share what I've learned since it's not super well-documented.

The setup is just Docker Compose with n8n + Ollama + Postgres. n8n's HTTP Request node talks directly to Ollama's REST API — no custom nodes needed.

What I'm running:

  • Email digest every morning (IMAP → Ollama → Slack)
  • Document summarization (PDF watcher → Ollama → notes)
  • Lead scoring from form webhooks

Zero API costs, everything stays on my server. If anyone wants the workflow templates I have a pack: https://workflows.neatbites.com/

Happy to answer questions about the setup.

 

Honest question: does anyone read DESTRUCTOID's reviews and feel like the score doesn't match what they actually wrote?

No Mans Sky is a recent example — ? with writing that reads more like a 1/10.

I've been documenting this kind of thing at https://reviewofareview.com/destructoid-no-mans-sky/ if anyone wants to dig in.

 

For anyone using AWS SES inbound to route email into S3 — there is now a native email client that reads directly from your bucket.

QuickMailBites v0.1.0:

  • Native S3 backend: browse SES-routed emails as if they were in an inbox
  • Also works as a normal IMAP or Gmail client
  • Flutter-based (Linux, Windows, Android)
  • Keyboard-driven (vim shortcuts)
  • Free and open source
 

Sharing a native email client I built — it reads raw emails directly from AWS S3 buckets (for those routing email via AWS SES to S3), plus standard IMAP and Gmail OAuth.

Not Electron — real Flutter native build. Keyboard shortcuts (vim-style). Available as Linux binary, Windows installer, and Android APK.
