Hey @Ashutosh_Jha welcome to the community!!

Would you mind sharing your current docker-compose file please?

Happy to read your comments!

my docker-compose.yml

when i saw the update, i just pulled and docker compose up -d , after that it started showing 404 page not found, i dont wanna loose my database, please help

Are you able to reboot with your previous functional version? Don’t worry about your database just be careful not delete the n8n_data Docker volume

No, its not REbooting up. @Gonzalo_Romero_Herna

Lets verify the logs. Once your containers are running, Could you please share the logs?

Just run the following command:

docker-compose logs -f n8n

BTW, What version did you use before the update?

@Gonzalo_Romero_Herna i think i was 4-5 updates before.

docker-compose logs -f n8n command returned this –

I tried to reproduce the error by deploying a docker-compose self-hosted instance from a previous version and then by upgrading to the current one, however it worked fine for me. By any chance is there another executed step before the upgrade that could change things like file locations or user permissions? If you are using a cloud provider you could try by making a backup of your n8n_data docker volume(be careful not to delete it), starting a new VM just for test purposes, creating a new docker volume from your back up and then running a new instance of n8n to see the result.
