Add “Info” Tooltips or Descriptions When Choosing a Service Resource

[sovetski]

I’d like to suggest a small UI and UX improvement for the “Services” section when adding a new “Resource”.

For example, if I search for “n8n”, I get three different options, but there is no explanation to help understand which one to choose or what each option provides.

I know we can search for this information online, but the goal is to have everything directly inside Coolify at a glance. Maybe adding an “Info” button, and on hover or click, showing a short explanation or use case for each option would help?

The service name already mentions the difference. ... With Postgres And Worker, ... With Postgres.
I assume you want more information what e.g. Worker means? (I at least hope people know by know what Postgres is 😅)

The majority of the time if we have different options for services like this, it's mainly just different databases being used afaik.

Thanks for the explanation!

In this case we know what Postgres is, but the real question is why we should pick the n8n + Postgres option instead of the default n8n service alone?

For instance, n8n by itself usually uses SQLite, which works for basic setups. But for heavier usage, larger workflows or production environments, choosing the Postgres option is recommended. That kind of information would be helpful to display directly.

My suggestion is simply to show a short hint for some service variants like Worker.

You are right, I checked and in most situations the only difference is the database, so extra help might not be necessary there, but when a service changes its behavior or recommended usage, a small explanation could make everything clearer.
