+# Portainer HOW-TO
+
+Assuming you run portainer on one machine (not swarm), and assuming you self-host an automation platform like n8n.
+
+1. Create a bridge network called `anytype_api`
+2. Paste contents of docker-compose.yml in a new stack in Portainer
+3. Depoy
+4. Go to the stack and click the command line icon >_ next to the container.
+5. Choose /bin/sh
+6. In the shell, create a bot key using `./anytype auth create <yourbot>`.
+7. Then make the bot join your space with `./anytype space join  <link>`
+8. Then create an api key with `./anytype auth apikey create "n8n"`
+9. Connect your n8n stack to the anytype cli stack (or put all in one stack)
+
+    ```yaml
+    services:
+    n8n:
+        # ....
+        networks:
+        - proxy
+        - anytype_api
+        
+    networks:
+    proxy:
+        external: true
+    anytype_api:
+        external: true
+    ```
+
+10. Inside n8n test the connection by adding a CURL http request block.
+    - URL: `http://anytype-cli:31012/v1/spaces`
+    - Authentication: Generic
+    - Auth type: Bearer
+    - Bearer Auth: (create yours using the api key generated above)
+
+...or paste this workflow in n8n.
