Frontend still shows v1.81.4 after upgrading backend to v1.95.3

Thank you in advance for any insights or suggestions you can share—I’d greatly appreciate your help!

I have self-hosted n8n with Docker Compose on /opt/n8n. After pulling the latest image and restarting, the CLI inside the container reports 1.95.3, but the UI still shows Version 1.81.4 and displays the “You’re on 1.81.4” banner. I have already:

  1. Corrected the volume mount to /home/node/.n8n.
  2. Cleared Service Worker and browser cache.
  3. Verified the n8n-editor-ui package version in the container (it was 1.95.2).
  4. Updated versionCli and versionNotifications.lastVersionSeen in SQLite via an external container.

However, the frontend banner persists.

What I’ve tried

  • Ensured volume mapping matches the official directory (n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n) community.n8n.io
  • Forced pull of docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n:1.95.3 and pruned old images
  • Cleared Service Worker (“Unregister”) and site data in Chrome DevTools n8n.io

**Expected behaviour
The UI should detect versionCli = 1.95.3 and no longer show the outdated version banner.

**Actual behaviour
Banner still reads “You’re on 1.81.4, which was released 3 months ago…” despite backend and database being updated.

**Environment

  • n8n Docker image: docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n:1.95.3
  • Volumes: n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n
  • Browser: Chrome v114 (Cleared cache, Service Worker unregistered)
