+# N8N SSH Setup - Run validate-settings.sh
+
+## Overview
+
+Use n8n's SSH node to run the validation script on localhost.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+✅ SSH is running on localhost (confirmed)
+✅ User `garfield` exists
+
+## Setup Steps
+
+### 1. Create SSH Key for n8n (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+# Generate SSH key (no passphrase for automation)
+ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/n8n_key -N ""
+
+# Copy public key to authorized_keys
+cat ~/.ssh/n8n_key.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
+chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
+
+# Test connection
+ssh -i ~/.ssh/n8n_key garfield@localhost "echo 'SSH works!'"
+```
+
+### 2. Import Workflow
+
+1. Open n8n: http://localhost:5678
+2. Click **"Add Workflow"**
+3. Click **"Import from File"**
+4. Select: `n8n-workflow-ssh-local.json`
+
+### 3. Configure SSH Credentials
+
+In n8n:
+1. Click the **"SSH - Run Validation"** node
+2. Click **"Create New Credential"**
+3. Choose **"SSH Password"** (or SSH Private Key if you created one)
+4. Enter:
+   - **Host:** `localhost`
+   - **Port:** `22`
+   - **User:** `garfield`
+   - **Password:** Your user password (or path to private key)
+
+### 4. Configure Telegram (Optional)
+
+1. Get bot token from @BotFather
+2. Get chat ID from @userinfobot
+3. Add Telegram credentials in n8n
+
+### 5. Activate
+
+1. Toggle **"Active"** in top-right
+2. Click **"Save"**
+
+## Testing
+
+### Manual Trigger
+
+Click **"Execute Workflow"** to test immediately.
+
+### Check Output
+
+The SSH node will return:
+- `stdout`: Script output
+- `code`: Exit code (0 = success, >0 = issues found)
+
+## Alternative: Simple HTTP Endpoint
+
+If SSH doesn't work, create a simple HTTP endpoint:
+
+### 1. Create API Script
+
+```bash
+sudo tee /usr/local/bin/mql-validate-api.sh << 'EOF'
+#!/bin/bash
+echo "Content-Type: application/json"
+echo ""
+cd /home/garfield/mql-trading-bots
+OUTPUT=$(./scripts/validate-settings.sh 2>&1)
+CODE=$?
+
+if [ $CODE -eq 0 ]; then
+    echo '{"status":"ok","message":"All checks passed"}'
+else
+    echo "{\"status\":\"error\",\"code\":$CODE,\"message\":\"Issues found\",\"stdout\":\"$OUTPUT\"}"
+fi
+EOF
+sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mql-validate-api.sh
+```
+
+### 2. Setup Python HTTP Server
+
+```bash
+cd /home/garfield/mql-trading-bots
+python3 -m http.server 8080 &
+```
+
+### 3. Use HTTP Request Node
+
+Import: `n8n-workflow-http.json`
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Connection refused" error
+```bash
+# Check SSH is listening
+sudo systemctl status sshd
+
+# Check port
+netstat -tlnp | grep 22
+```
+
+### "Permission denied" error
+```bash
+# Check file permissions
+chmod 700 ~/.ssh
+chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
+```
+
+### Script not found
+```bash
+# Verify path
+ls -la /home/garfield/mql-trading-bots/scripts/validate-settings.sh
+```
+
+## Security Notes
+
+- Use SSH keys instead of passwords when possible
+- Restrict n8n key to only run validation script in `~/.ssh/authorized_keys`:
+  ```
+  command="/home/garfield/mql-trading-bots/scripts/validate-settings.sh",no-pty,no-port-forwarding ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3... n8n@local
+  ```
+- Keep n8n behind firewall/VPN
+
+## Manual Test
+
+Test the script manually:
+```bash
+/home/garfield/mql-trading-bots/scripts/validate-settings.sh
+echo "Exit code: $?"
+```
