Describe the problem/error/question
I have n8n self-hosted installed on a cloud linode server using npm. I SSH into the linode and set the exports, Run n8n from cli with “n8n start”, everything works for awhile, but after about 1hr or so the ssh session is closed and n8n closes with the ssh session. Id like to ssh from my home computer, set the export variables, launch n8n, and be able to close my ssh connection without n8n closing with it
What is the error message (if any)?
None, Linode server n8n is running is still active but n8n the service stops with the ssh session.
Please share your workflow
