Error 404 on /rest/external-secrets/providers

[Nulldrifter]

Setting up a self hosted instance for local development on K8s under an Enterprise license.

After spinning it up, both /rest/external-secrets/providers and /rest/external-secrets/secrets endpoints return a 404. Content titled ‘Error’ states ‘Cannot GET /rest/external-secrets/providers’.

n8n version: 1.109.1
Database: SQLite
Running n8n via K8s, used the Helm chart provided at 8gears.container-registry.com

Hey @Nulldrifter hope all is good.

Did it work for you before?

Hey @jabbson, thank you for the reply.

There was no ‘before’, I’m afraid.

I’ve recently deployed N8n and started looking into its API, so we can perform configuration management through it and have our main projects, workflows, users, etc automated. I’ve started looking into the credentials and external-secrets a few days ago and that’s when I bumped into this issue. Been stuck on this for a few days, raised the log level to no availability, can’t find why this is happening.

Any insight appreciated.

There was an initial similar thread, posted by @Justin_C, Getting 404s on Some, not all, REST endpoints. @Justin_C pointed out that the service appeared to require a restart, so it’s features became fully available.

Given I’m running a simple deployment, on a basic SQLite DB, I hopped in the container and cycled the node service, rather than the POD. After this, all external secret providers became available.
