Error when running the docker-compose up -d command to update N8N via Docker

Questions

Hi @Jon , my N8N is on version 1.1.1, and I need to update to the latest version.

I executed the commands:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
docker-compose pull
docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d

Immediately after executing the last command “docker-compose up -d,” it gave the following error:

root@vultr:~# docker-compose up -d

Starting root_traefik_1 …

ERROR: Encountered errors while bringing up the project.

What could have happened? And what’s the solution?

Thank you in advance.

  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hey @paulinho4am,

Welcome to the community :tada:

Looking at that docker is saying it can’t bind on port 443 or 5678 because something else is using it, Can you make sure the containers are stopped you can do this by running docker ps if you see anything in the list it is running and would need to be stopped if the port is 443 or 5678.
