Couldnt get local file trigger

[michealla]

I have installed n8n self host starter pack but when I try to find the local file trigger it is not showing.

Describe the problem/error/question

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Share the output returned by the last node

Hey @michealla according to the official n8n documentation the Local File Trigger node is disabled by default starting from version 2.0 for security reasons.

n8n v2.0 breaking changes | n8n Docs

To use it, you must explicitly enable it through configuration.

Add this to your docker compose under environment

- NODES_EXCLUDE="n8n-nodes-base.executeCommand"

And if you want to enable all nodes

    - NODES_EXCLUDE="[]"

Let me know if you find this helpful.
