Error while trying to reinstall n8n

[TheDanniCraft]

Describe the issue/error/question

I wanted to reinstall n8n the offical way(I just used the “raw” docker image before) to support running n8n behind my domain. While following this guide. When trying to start it with sudo docker-compose up -d I get an error.

What is the error message (if any)?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "docker-compose", line 3, in <module>
  File "compose/cli/main.py", line 81, in main

Hey @TheDanniCraft,

Welcome to the community

Do you have the docker compose file in the folder you are running the command from?

[TheDanniCraft]

Yes, it is in the same folder

Was there any other output before that error? Can you share your compose file as well with anything important replaced (passwords, emails, domains).

[TheDanniCraft]

I fixed it, it was a problem with my hosters antivirus system, they just deleted all the files when I start docker compose, I now added it to the whitelist. Now I have it installed but I can’t access it.
I just get redirected to the deaufault plesk page (Plesk is installed on my server).

Hi @TheDanniCraft, this sounds like it would be a problem with your web server/reverse proxy configuration. Which web server are you using (I believe Plesk systems would typically use Nginx as a reverse proxy, but I don’t have access to Plesk to verify this) and how is it currently configured?
