N8N_BASIC_AUTH_USER=test
N8N_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=test

When i start 8n8 container

n8n-1  | User settings loaded from: /home/node/.n8n/config
n8n-1  | Last session crashed
n8n-1  | Initializing n8n process
n8n-1  | n8n ready on 0.0.0.0, port 5678
n8n-1  | Version: 1.51.1
n8n-1  |
n8n-1  | Editor is now accessible via:
n8n-1  | http://n8n.yourdomain.com:5678/

And on web page i get page but 404 page not found

I don`t know what is missing for me here.

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hey @Przemyslaw_Fieluba,

Welcome to the community :raised_hands:

Which url are you using is it http://n8n.yourdomain.com:5678/ or https://n8n.yourdomain.com? Have you also set up your DNS record to point your n8n domain to your machine running it and made sure that the firewall is allowing the request through?

@Jon
I add info in hosts
127.0.0.1 8n8.yourdomain.com

https://8n8.yourdomain.com/ i get 404
https://8n8.yourdomain.com:5678/ ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR
http://8n8.yourdomain.com:5678/setup
Your n8n server is configured to use a secure cookie, however you are visiting this via an insecure URL

Also it works on
http://localhost:5678/workflow/new

Uh solved

for some reason config .env was not read.

I put
- "traefik.http.routers.n8n.rule=Host(8n8.yourdomain.com)"

And its start to works
