- Caddy: Auto SSL with Let's Encrypt
- SSH: n8n → localhost credentials configured and working
- OpenHands CLI:
/home/bam/.local/bin/openhands(v1.3.0) - OpenHands SDK Wrapper:
/home/bam/openhands-sdk-wrapper-sh.sh(sh-compatible) - Working n8n Workflow: "Gitea → OpenHands - FIXED WITH PASSTHROUGH" (ID: j1MmXaRhDjvkRSLa)
- Data Preservation: Fixed using
$node["Node Name"].jsonpattern
✅ Completed:
- SSH Authentication Fixed - Directory permissions corrected
- n8n Workflow Created - Successfully executes OpenHands SDK tasks
- File Verification Working - Workflow confirms file creation
- Data Loss Issue Resolved - Repository data preserved through entire pipeline
- Repository Cleanup Completed - Deleted 7 redundant documentation files

🚀 OPENHANDS SDK APPROACH
Overview
Instead of running OpenHands as a server API, we use the OpenHands CLI directly via SSH in n8n workflows.
Why SDK Approach?
- ✅ Reliable - No Docker container issues or port conflicts
- ✅ Simple - Direct CLI execution without API complexity
- ✅ Shell-compatible - Works in SSH environment without Python dependencies
- ✅ Proven - Successfully tested with n8n workflows
Key Components:
1. SDK Wrapper Script
/home/bam/openhands-sdk-wrapper-sh.sh
Purpose: Wraps OpenHands CLI for n8n SSH execution
- Takes task as argument
- Loads OpenHands environment
- Executes task via CLI
- Returns structured output
2. Usage in n8n SSH Node
Command: sh /home/bam/openhands-sdk-wrapper-sh.sh "Your task here"
Authentication: privateKey
Options:
passThrough: true (for newer workflows)
3. Available Test Scripts
Located in /home/bam/claude/mvp-factory/test-scripts/:
SDK Wrappers:
openhands-sdk-wrapper-sh.sh- Main wrapper for n8n (sh-compatible)openhands-sdk-wrapper.py- Python wrapper (for direct testing)openhands-sdk-wrapper-fixed.py- Enhanced Python version
Build & Test Scripts:
build_test.sh- Basic build testadvanced_build_test.sh- Advanced build with detailed loggingbuild-test-complete.sh- Complete build test with verification
Diagnostic Scripts:
check_environment.sh- Verify system setupdiagnose.sh- Troubleshoot issuesexplore.sh- Explore project structure

Webhook URL Format
# Manual webhook (publicly accessible):
https://n8n.oky.sh/webhook/<WEBHOOK_ID>
# Workflow-specific webhooks (in n8n UI):
Navigate to: Workflow Settings → Webhook URLs
Error Handling
# Check response status codes:
200 - Success
401 - Unauthorized (check API token)
404 - Not found (check workflow ID)
422 - Validation error (check request body)
Programmatic Example (Python)
import requests
API_URL = "https://n8n.oky.sh/api/v1"
with open("/home/bam/.n8n_api_key", "r") as f:
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {f.read().strip()}"}
# List workflows
response = requests.get(f"{API_URL}/workflows", headers=headers)
workflows = response.json()
print(f"Found {len(workflows)} workflows")
🧪 TESTING WORKFLOW
Quick Test: Trigger n8n Workflow via Webhook
# From /home/bam directory:
curl -X POST https://n8n.oky.sh/webhook/openhands-fixed-test \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"repository": {
"name": "test-project",
"full_name": "gitadmin/test-project",
"clone_url": "https://git.oky.sh/gitadmin/test-project.git"
},
"ref": "refs/heads/main",
"after": "abc123def456",
"commits": [{"message": "Test commit from API"}],
"pusher": {"username": "testuser"}
}'
Expected Response:
{
"status": "SUCCESS",
"repo": "gitadmin/test-project",
"branch": "main",
"commit": "abc123de",
"message": "Build completed successfully",
"emoji": "✅"
}

🎯 WORKING N8N WORKFLOW
Current Production Workflow
Name: "Gitea → OpenHands - FIXED WITH PASSTHROUGH"
ID: j1MmXaRhDjvkRSLa
Status: ✅ Active
Webhook: https://n8n.oky.sh/webhook/openhands-fixed-test
Workflow Structure:
[1] Gitea Webhook (POST)
↓
[2] Extract Repo Info (Code node)
↓
[3] Start OpenHands Build (SSH node)
→ sh /home/bam/openhands-sdk-wrapper-sh.sh "<task>"
↓
[4] Wait 10s for Initialization
↓
[5] Check Build Status (Code node)
→ Uses $node["Extract Repo Info"].json to preserve data
↓
[6] Format Build Response (Code node)
↓
[7] Send Response (HTTP Response node)
Critical Fix - Data Preservation
The SSH node overwrites all data. Solution: Use $node to access previous node output.
In Node 5 "Check Build Status":
// Get current SSH output
const sshOutput = $json;
// Get repository data from Node 2 (Extract Repo Info)
const repoData = $node["Extract Repo Info"].json;
// Merge SSH output with repository data
return {
...repoData, // ← Repository data preserved!
code: sshOutput.code,
signal: sshOutput.signal,
stdout: sshOutput.stdout,
stderr: sshOutput.stderr,
status: 'SUCCESS',
message: 'Build completed successfully',
timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
};

📝 KEY LEARNINGS
OpenHands SDK vs API Server
- SDK via SSH: ✅ Reliable, simple, production-ready
- API Server: ❌ Docker complexity, port conflicts, reliability issues
n8n Data Flow
- SSH nodes overwrite ALL data - Use
$node["Previous Node"].jsonto access earlier data - Code nodes can preserve data by merging with previous node output
passThrough: truedoes NOT preserve input data (common misconception)
Best Practices
- Use
$nodepattern for data preservation after nodes that overwrite data - Test SDK scripts before integrating into n8n
- Keep API keys in secure locations with proper permissions (600)
- Use webhook testing with curl before trusting in production
