Role Defaults

Use the Inventory to customize variables. (1)

1. Example override

   n8n_name: "custom_value"
   

   Avoid overriding variables ending in _default

   When overriding variables that end in _default (like n8n_docker_envs_default), you replace the entire default configuration. Future updates that add new default values will not be applied to your setup, potentially breaking functionality.

   Instead, use the corresponding _custom variable (like n8n_docker_envs_custom) to add your changes. Custom values are merged with defaults, ensuring you receive updates.
