Hi,
So I’m new here, and I wanted something that can send a message on a Discord server about the new free game on the Epic Store.
I found the project of someone, but it requires the Puppeteer node. After some research and misunderstanding, I see that n8n has changed in the last few days, and I can’t install Puppeteer because you cannot install community nodes anymore. I really need help ! what can I do ?
Hey @MisterNX hope all is well. Welcome to the community.
- if you are using the self-hosted version, you still should be able to install community nodes
- if you are using the cloud version. you still shouldn’t be able to install community nodes (except verified, which is a whole other deal).
Could you expand on what setup you are running, and how exactly it is failing to install?
How can I use the self hosted version ? because I’m on the cloud so I got this issue
On the cloud, you cannot use community nodes (except those verified) - nor was it possible
Install and manage community nodes | n8n Docs.
As for self-hosting, you can read about how to do this in the documentation:
Ok, i’ll try
I was able to download the node and make it work, but the puppeteer has to use a Chrome page and it’s not working. I got this error :
Failed to launch/connect to browser: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND n8n-chrome
in the option of the node I have this :
Browser WebSocket Endpoint :
ws://n8n-chrome:3000/?stealth=1&–disable-web-security=true&token=Problem-Crook4-Barstool
Is there anything wrong that’s blocking me?
The error getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND n8n-chrome means your n8n container cannot resolve the hostname n8n-chrome, i.e. it doesn’t know how to reach the browser container you’re pointing to. Are you sure you are running it? Are they in the same network?
Yes, when I try to run it I have this message, and I only have one network so yes I assume
Just to be 100% sure, … if you run docker ps -a, you see BOTH your puppeteer container and n8n-chrome container as running, right?
Ok, let’s try to summarize.
- You switched to using hosted version of n8n, right?
- You then installed puppeteer community node, right?
- If above is correct, please let me know which community node you installed.
Yes, I’m using the hosted version with Docker desktop
I follow a tutorial for the installation, so I assume my installation is correct
I install n8n-nodes-puppeteer
Can you please show:
- a screenshot of the community nodes page in n8n showing the node installed
- output of
docker ps -a
Thank you
Hey no worries. When you were following the installation instructions, what did you choose for Browser Options? The puppeteer is just a set of APIs for the browser. Which browser did you choose to use based on the installation instructions?
