Add ns8-n8n automation app to NethForge

[mrmarkuz]

An automation tool eases the work by automating processes and there's N8N which is already available as community app from Geniusdynamics.

Proposed solution

Fork the app and add features

Alternative solutions

Create a new app

Additional context

Following features should be added:

• Use official n8n image with a recent version in build-images.sh
• Improve secrets management for N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY and POSTGRES_PASSWORD etc.
• Improve hardcoded ports for n8n, postgres and redis
• Add changeable timezone
• Add renovate
• Add robot tests
