Hello, I recently updated the N8N version on my server and got the following error:
When I run the command: “docker compose up” I get an error: [EACCES] Error Plugin: n8n: EACCES: permission denied, open ‘/home/node/.n8n/config’
I tried changing the “node” in the path using “ubuntu”. The system works normally again, but I have to set up my account again from scratch and lose all the old workflows I did.
I would like to ask how to fix it and if I can’t fix it, how can I get back the Workflows I did on the VPS?
That usually means that the n8n cannot access the directory due to the lack of permissions. Maybe the previous instance used a different user as the owner. You can try changing the folder’s permissions with the command:
