EAI_AGAIN Error after updating n8n to version 1.41.1

Questions

Describe the problem/error/question

I updated n8n to 1.41.1 and it seems to have broken something. I have a google calendar trigger that shoots a message through Slack/Discord when an event has been canceled. The Google Calendar trigger is working, but when it goes to the Slack/Discord node it gives me the DNS error.

I have tried creating new nodes and new credentials but it still doesn’t work. I can create new credentials with the Google trigger, but when I try creating a Slack/Discord credential it shoots me the same EAI_AGAIN error.

I’m not really sure where to look for a fix, any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is the error message (if any)?

The DNS server returned an error, perhaps the server is offline.
Error code: EAI_AGAIN
Full message: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN slack.com

Hey @gerrym,

Welcome to the community :raised_hands:

The error you are seeing is a fairly generic DNS error, It could be that restarting the container will get it working again. If that fails you could try to configure it to use a different DNS server and see if that helps.

Hi @Jon

I have the same problem which did not happen to the previous version. How do I configure it to use a different DNS server?

Thank you

Thanks Jon,

I had tried restarting container but it did not help. The issue turned out to be the router. I’m just not sure how updating n8n could have caused the issue but I ended up resetting my router and that fixed the problem.

Thanks again!
