I am trying to run the code node with Python and JavaScript but every time I get
Task request timed out after 60 seconds , I have noticed the new update in the runners from the documentation and from many questions here in the community but still can’t make it run properly.

Can anyone take a look and tell me please

@Wouter_Nigrini @mohamed3nan if you can help please, I would be very grateful

hello @nader95

your n8n and n8n-worker instances have the same folder attached. That’s not good.

you don’t need to specify the N8N_RUNNERS_MODE for task runners. And you don’t need to specify any volumes for it.
Better to increase the value of the N8N_RUNNERS_AUTO_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT to 60 or more seconds. 15 is too small

and it sems that you are using volumes, however I do not see a volume configuration block in the config.

Hi @nader95, welcome!

The following line is incorrect:

It should be:

      - 'N8N_RUNNERS_TASK_BROKER_URI=http://n8n-worker:5679'

All other setup looks correct, give that a try and let me if you still get an error..

OMG thanks my friend it worked for now, actually still don’t understand when to set it tohttp://n8n:5679 and when to set it to http://n8n-worker:5679, cause I saw some cases here in the community that you and others recommend to set the runner to http://n8n:5679

That was a bug in the Coolify n8n template:

It should be fixed in the new template in newer Coolify versions.

In general:
For queue mode, use http://n8n-worker:5679
For the regular setup with task runner, use http://n8n:5679
