why do we want everything in docker here? I thought what we wanted was to run only external services in docker.

Locally, I'd also love to run n8n in docker, so that I don't need to tear down my n8n home instance. Of course I can do that differently, but this means that you don't forget when running your tests.
Do you think we should remove it from here?

Plus: this makes it easy to create your test-workflows inside the docker; makes it easy to connect over the local docker-network, etc.

we could save some time by skipping frontend build using pnpm build:backend

by building inside docker (instead of directly on the CI VM), we can't use the turbo build cache. We also can't reuse a built version of n8n from a previous step in the CI.
perhaps we should update this script to assume that n8n is already built when these tests start?

Sure, I can remove that step!
This setup allows you to run the tests with docker compose, without ensuring your own
~/.n8nis clean and/or backed up.
