Execution List will not show flow - has an orange spinner on it

Describe the problem/error/question

When I try to open workflow execution details, the executions list shows them as “succeeded,” but the details panel just spins forever. I don’t see the JSON output of the run.

If I copy the execution back into the editor, I can see what it did — so the execution data is stored in Postgres, but the execution viewer in the UI fails to load it.

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.108.2
  • Database: Postgres 17 (via Docker, not SQLite)
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS: (default → main)
  • Running n8n via: Docker (Dokploy stack with Traefik reverse proxy)
  • Operating system: Ubuntu 24.04 (inside VM on Proxmox)

Additional info:

  • I have N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY set and data persisted in Docker volumes.
  • Proxy headers come from Traefik.
  • Logs also show [DEP0060] DeprecationWarning: The util._extend API is deprecated, but I think that’s unrelated.
  • Debug logging shows constant Querying database for waiting executions from wait-tracker.js.
