## Connecting to External Databases
This n8n setup is part of a larger ecosystem of self-hosted services that can all run on the same `shared_network`. This allows n8n to securely connect to them using their container names as hostnames.
Check out these pre-configured databases that work out-of-the-box with this n8n instance:
- [**postgresql-self-hosted**](https://github.com/AiratTop/postgresql-self-hosted): A simple and robust PostgreSQL setup.
- [**mysql-self-hosted**](https://github.com/AiratTop/mysql-self-hosted): A self-hosted MySQL instance.
- [**clickhouse-self-hosted**](https://github.com/AiratTop/clickhouse-self-hosted): High-performance columnar database for analytics.
- [**qdrant-self-hosted**](https://github.com/AiratTop/qdrant-self-hosted): A vector database for AI applications.
