Support for n8n task runners (Python native mode) in Cloudron package

[Valexico]

Hi everyone,

I’m using n8n deployed via Cloudron and I’m interested in testing the new native Python support, which is currently in beta. According to the n8n documentation, enabling this feature requires setting up task runners, either in internal or external mode. The external mode involves running a sidecar container (n8nio/runners) alongside the main n8n instance, and enabling the feature via environment variables like N8N_NATIVE_PYTHON_RUNNER=true and N8N_RUNNERS_ENABLED=true.

My question:

Does the current Cloudron packaging for n8n support enabling task runners (especially for native Python execution)? If not, are there plans to update the package to allow this configuration, or is there a workaround to deploy the sidecar container within Cloudron?

For reference, the external mode setup requires:

• A sidecar container running the n8nio/runners image.
• Specific environment variables and configuration files to allowlist Python packages for the Code node.

I’d love to hear if anyone has experience with this, or if the Cloudron team has insights on future support for this feature.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello @Valexico
This is something we would have to look into.
