Hello n8n team,
I have set up a new self-hosted n8n instance and I am unable to activate the community license. My setup is fully functional and accessible via HTTPS on a custom domain.
The Error:
When I try to activate the license, I consistently receive the error:
License request failed. Failed to register community edition: Failed to send license to user
My Setup:
-
Cloud Provider: Oracle Cloud Free Tier
-
OS: Ubuntu 22.04
-
n8n Version: Latest (via Docker)
-
Deployment: Docker Compose
-
Reverse Proxy: Caddy for automatic HTTPS
Troubleshooting Steps Already Taken:
-
My instance is fully accessible at https://n8n.gilalexander.com.
-
OCI and local iptables firewalls are correctly configured for ports 80 and 443.
-
My n8n docker-compose.yml has the correct N8N_HOST and N8N_PROTOCOL=https environment variables.
-
I have completely reset the local instance by deleting database.sqlite multiple times.
-
The error occurs when registering with my original email ([email protected]).
-
The error also occurs when registering with a brand new email alias ([email protected]) that has never been used with n8n before.
Since the error persists even with a fresh database and a new email alias, it strongly suggests the issue is on the n8n backend, possibly a stuck state associated with my domain.
Could you please investigate on your end and clear any potential blocks or stuck registrations for my domain?
Thank you for your help!
