Changes to the templates

afternoon all. We have an embedded licence and have just upgraded from 1.26.0 to 1.35.0 . Our templates are now not working

previously we got a list of templates

now when we click on the templates button we get redirected to the n8n website.

Adding the N8N_TEMPLATES_HOST that points to our base url causes a 404 error with http://ourn8n8/health not found

is there a secret option to fix this ?

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 @jmls,

Is the base url you are using one that implements your own version of our template API?

we haven’t implemented anything - just wanted the same behaviour as before.

if you were going to remove such functionality, could you not keep the original code / templates / ui in place and hide it behind a flag / variable

Hi @jmls — thanks for bringing this up.

The functionality of the templates repository hasn’t changed — you can still choose a template and click the button and insert it into your instance. All that’s different is that it now lives on the website rather than in the app, and is a bit more curated.

Is there something specific you’re missing from the new version?

we don’t want to be redirected to an external site - the “old” ui for showing templates within the app itself was nice.

If you’re saying there’s a way of reverting back to that look and feel that’s great !

Hey @jmls,

Pointing N8N_TEMPLATES_HOST to https://api.n8n.io/api/ should do the trick but there are some templates that may not work.

When I read your reply originally and spotted you pointed it to your base URL I made the assumption that you were using your own template service rather than ours.

https://api.n8n.io is better :wink:

works, thanks for that
