Describe the problem/error/question

I’m using version 2.4.8. The node execute command doesn’t appear and isn’t available, even though it’s configured in my docker-compose.yml. Any tips? I’m using a VPS with Ubuntu 24.04, Docker, and Nginx.

What is the error

message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Share the output returned by the last node

Information on your n8n setup

Hi @filgueira

Add this to your docker compose environment section and create the container:
N8N_ENABLE_UNSAFE_CORE_NODES=TRUE
Then run docker compose down && docker compose up -d to fully restart.
After that, the execute node will apper in the node list.

ps: in newer n8n versions the execute node is hidden by default for security reason, even if N8N_EXECUTE_COMMAND_ENABLED=TURE is set.

Hi @mohamed3nan

Im realy sorry about that impression.
My motivation is to help the community. My english isn’t very good, and use AI to support my answers, but sometimes it brings back some info not completely sure.

The correct documented method is to adjust Nodes_Exclude:

Once again, I apologize for the bad impression.

Solved. I misspelled the environment variable. I wrote N8N_NODES_EXCLUDE instead just NODES_EXCLUDE. Sorry!! I guess it’s just old age catching up with me.. hahaha

Not mine, mine uses top of the line models now and its not even activated,

@mohamed3nan In feburary tho ima keep it off so everyone has a fair chance and so I can learn more about n8n also by helping ppl like you do.

yk maybe instead ill make a detector that detects ai slop and reports it

The best thing IMO (and yes seriously not joking now) is that “Find open questions” is now only a few questions away instead of hundreds, and it actually resets.

Honestly, it’s going to be very satisfying to see it hit zero soon :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

You’ve genuinely done a big favor for everyone :slightly_smiling_face:

Do you want me to keep it going so it gets all the old ones but ignore the new ones?

And do you want me to make the ai slop detector @mohamed3nan
