After updating my VPS packages on which I have n8n, I am not able to access my Workflows. and when I click on Manage Workflows I get 404 Page Not Found. Any help would be appriciated
To rule out any of the basics, have you tried the following:
- Official Hostinger steps for updating the n8n instance
- Restarting the Docker container(s)
- Changing network connection (e.g. VPN, different VPN location, no VPN). I’ve experienced weird functionality issues in self-hosted n8n on Hostinger when using a VPN in certain location - e.g. sometimes can’t save a workflow and many “Connection Lost” statuses
- Checking the Docker container(s) logs for any obvious related errors upon loading the manage workflows page (e.g. https://hpanel.hostinger.com/vps/YOUR_VPS_ID/docker-manager/compose/root/edit?tab=logs)
- Checking if the workflow files actually still exist in the Docker container(s) - you can use some bash commands in the web browser terminal to look around. Or, simply ask Hostinger support for help
- Hostinger has either daily or weekly backups (depending on your plan), so you could opt for a “restore” of your Docker container(s), ideally after extracting all of the workflow files per above step if any important ones were created/updated after the latest working restore point
I tried everything but nothing worked and it became more messy. I reinstalled the OS and it worked fine. Since I did not had many workflows I took this path. But when we have real prod work flows then we should take a different approach. May we should restore the OS from the back up image or may be some better resolution. n8n support team just said that, VPS is self managed and we need to figure it out. And they routed me to go through different documentation. Their AI chat also tried to help me but nothing worked.
