NAppwriteInstall

Overview

This node integrates with Appwrite's Storage service, allowing users to manage storage buckets and files programmatically within n8n workflows. Specifically, the "Delete Bucket" operation deletes a specified storage bucket from the Appwrite backend.

Common scenarios for this node include:

• Automating cleanup of unused or temporary storage buckets.
• Managing storage lifecycle by deleting buckets that are no longer needed.
• Integrating storage management into larger automation workflows involving file handling and user data.

Example use case: After processing and archiving files in a bucket, you can automatically delete the bucket to free up resources.

Properties

Output

The output JSON contains a single field indicating the success status of the deletion operation:

{
  "success": true
}

• success: A boolean value that is true if the bucket was successfully deleted, otherwise it may be false or an error will be thrown.

No binary data is output by this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to an Appwrite server.
• Needs credentials including the Appwrite API URL, project ID, and an API key credential configured in n8n.
• Uses the official Appwrite SDK (node-appwrite) internally to perform API calls.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing Bucket ID: Ensure the Bucket ID provided exists and is correct.
  • Insufficient permissions: The API key used must have permission to delete storage buckets.
  • Network or connectivity problems with the Appwrite server.

• Error messages:

  • Errors related to authentication failure indicate invalid or expired API keys.
  • Errors about bucket not found suggest the Bucket ID does not exist.
  • Permission denied errors mean the API key lacks rights to delete buckets.

To resolve these:

• Verify the Bucket ID is correct.
• Check API key permissions and validity.
• Confirm network access to the Appwrite endpoint.
