docker pull n8nio/n8n:latest -or- docker pull n8nio/n8n:2.3.1
docker build -t n8n-curl .

docker compose up -d && docker logs -f n8n

What is the n8n-curl image you’re using? Is it a custom image you created with the Dockerfile?

Try and use the following image in your dockerfile and make sure you pull:

docker pull n8nio/n8n

I included it’s dockerfile

Try update the Dockerfile as well with the image. Then when you build try and tag your image with “:latest”

docker build -t n8n-curl:latest .

Can you also print your docker images for me:

docker images

docker build -t n8n-curl:latest . worked, thanks. Hopefully this fixes the really nasty error with the sub workflow
