After installing n8n following the docker compose server installation guide, I get a 404 page not found error when accessing the IP address of the machine. I’m hosting it in a AWS EC2 instance running Amazon Linux 2023. The docker-compose.yml and .env files are exactly like in the guide.
I’ve already read some topics below and tried all solutions, with no success.
n8n version is the default that comes with the above mentioned installation guide, and runs with the default database.
I’m running these commands as root user to setup all things and start the service:
#!/bin/bash
# Everything below is run as root user in the instance startup
# Update dependencies
yum -y update
# Install docker
yum -y install docker
# Add group membership for the default ec2-user so you can run
# all docker commands without using the sudo command
usermod -a -G docker ec2-user
id ec2-user
# Reload a user's group assignments to docker w/o logout
# newgrp docker
# Enable docker service at AMI boot
systemctl enable docker.service
# Start docker service
systemctl start docker.service
# Install docker compose
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest/download/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
# Create n8n docker-compose.yml file

# Create n8n volumes
docker volume create n8n_data
docker volume create traefik_data
# Start n8n
docker-compose up -d
Docker logs seems fine:
