Context
EchoTek is the studio’s connected automation host — the place ForgeOS and other n8n workflows actually run. Think topology and uptime, not a consumer landing page.
Approach
- Self-host orchestration (n8n) behind
api.echotek.co.za - Keep workflow repos and VPS config separate from client marketing sites
- Treat the API host as infrastructure evidence, not a vanity domain claim
Outcome
Confirmed automation base URL used by ForgeOS env docs. Public marketing microsite remains light / TBC; the portfolio points at the real ops endpoint the systems use.
Stack notes
- n8n on VPS
- Docker-oriented ops
- Shared API surface for studio automations
