Config file

Describe the problem/error/question

I upgraded my N8N and when i go to login i get the following screen instead
To fix this, please consider the following options:

• Setup TLS/HTTPS (recommended), or
• If you are running this locally, try using localhost instead
• If you prefer to disable this security feature (not recommended), set the environment variable N8N_SECURE_COOKIE to false

I’ve installed N8N with NPN on Ubuntu 20.x and edited a config file that is in:

/ubuntu/home/.n8n/config with the following details

{
“encryptionKey”: “N1Fv5fETi9n1/Axxxxxxxx”,
“N8N_SECURE_COOKIE”: false
}

I even tried to export the co
nfig using
export “N8N_SECURE_COOKIE”=false

When i restart the ubuntu server i still get the same error message…

Is there ANY documentation on how to configure the “CONFIG” file?

What is the error message (if any)?
