Recently, there is a need to use n8n in the arm architecture. Can n8n run on the arm environment?

environment：Linux 4.18.0-80.7.2.el7.aarch64

Hi @Hao_Tan, n8n runs on ARM. The error you are seeing would suggest a network problem. It might just be temporary, so in a first step you simply might want to try again later.

If this still fails, can you confirm what exactly you are doing when running into this error?

For an easier time you might also want to consider using our pre-built docker images which are built for ARM (and x64).

May I know when can I download/pull and docker image for ARM?

Hey @HT88,

Welcome to the community :cake:

n8n has supported ARM for a long time, If you are using the latest tag though you might see some issues today. Instead try a fixed version like 0.220.1

thank you @Jon

Is there a docker image for 0.220.1 that runs on ARM? I’m new to this tool hence need some guidance. Thank you in advance.

Hey @HT88,

There should be we have supported ARM for a couple of years. The latest tag will also now support ARM, you can see the versions if they have an ARM option here: Docker

I see…let me pull the docker you suggested and see if it work on our ARM machine. Thank you @Jon
