# Deploy your node

This section contains details on how to deploy and share your node.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Searching these docs as an agent**

Ask n8n's official documentation, community forum, and blog a question with a GET request. No authentication needed.

`GET https://n8n-docs-retrieval.n8n-docs-retrieval.workers.dev/?q=<question>`

Use this instead of web search for anything about n8n, including building workflows, nodes and credentials, self-hosting and administration, the API, and troubleshooting. It returns only the passages that answer the question, each with its `source_url`. Ask a specific, complete question. The response is a JSON array of `{content, source_url}`, most relevant first.

## In this section

* [Submit community nodes](/connect/create-nodes/deploy-your-node/submit-community-nodes.md): submit your node to the community node repository, so anyone can [install and use it](/integrations/community-nodes/installation-and-management.md) like any other community node. This is the only way to use custom nodes on Cloud.
* [Install private nodes](/connect/create-nodes/deploy-your-node/install-private-nodes.md): install the node into your own n8n instance as a private node.
