# n8n on NAS with Local AI: Ollama, RAG, Docker and Automation

> Use the NAS for always-on n8n orchestration, persistent workflow/database storage and controlled shared folders. Keep Ollama on the NAS only if its hardware is suitable; otherwise point n8n at a separate local AI host. For RAG workflows, put the vector database and PostgreSQL on persistent SSD-backed storage and give workflows explicit access to only the NAS paths they need.
