Getting "Error connecting to n8n" message even though everything is working fine

I deployed an n8n instance using this tutorial on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6J-MM0GVtw&t=1s&pp=ygUVYXVzdGluIHJlZWQgbjhuIHZ1bHRy
(Ubuntu + Vultr + NPM). The instance is deployed but i see the “error connecting to n8n” message on login page. It isn’t causing any issues, i can log in and create workflow, everything is working properly.
But still the error message is bothering me, does anyone know why is it happening or have you faced this before?

I guess free version has expired..

how exactly? this is deployed n8n instance, not the free one from n8n cloud.

It’s normally an issue with websockets in proxy, and socket upgrades. So please do share the config used.

I would personally do ubuntu with dockers installed, then n8n from dockerhub n8n-hosting/docker-compose at main · n8n-io/n8n-hosting · GitHub

Works pretty much out of box, plus if you use Cloudflare’s free proxy setup is almost effortless.
