Self-hosted N8N 1.85.4 Got a working workflow triggered by webhook. Attempted to switch to queue mode for better performance Setup: Main N8N in Docker on VPS Worker N8N in Docker on VPS Redis on VPS PostgreSQL on VPS Ubuntu 22 Both N8N instances within containers can connect to Redis and PostgreSQL (this is clear from logs) Executions stay in ‘queued’ status. Tried numerous troubleshooting, nothing helps. Apparently, PostgreSQL is populated with execution in ‘new’ status, but Redis does not (no n8n:queue, but there are other n8n-related data in Redis - to be honest, not sure how it is supposed to look in reality, the required ‘n8n:queue’ is suggestion by chatgpt, it sometimes invents stuff…). Redis is definitely operating fine, also used by other application on the server. Both main instance and worker have ‘Querying database for waiting executions’ in logs. Any help or direction is really appreciated Thank you ---

Hi, the default name of the queue would be something like bull:jobs You can see an example here > [@Am I scale it right? Concurrency 10 is default or can be upper?](http://community.n8n.io/t/am-i-scale-it-right-concurrency-10-is-default-or-can-be-upper/97400): > > how many workers we can add? thank you very much E.g Waiting jobs would/should be bull:jobs:wait Reg, J. ---

I checked Redis queue, apparently it does have execution object. Here is log from the main N8N instance: ![a1](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/a/c/acf9c3ad17f0a58f4ce76dc6b4ce5ceecdb7a096.png) Log from worker ![a2](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/7/b/7b86fc47ad37dcc5c9c060ce1add764a23225130.png) Probably this is the execution object in Redis ![a3](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/b/1/b1af298c994ac95efe4fb5ce99780fd039215756.png) Nothing happens… ---

Hi, Maybe you can compare your setup with the n8n-hosting templates and verify whether it works with the versioning you are testing. There is a docker-compose file which has all setting required for a N8n postgres and worker scenario Reg, J. ---
