[HELP] Not been able to import external modules

Would you mind having a look at my config below to see if anything incorrect jumps out at you? It seemed correct to me after reading over this thread and the n8n documentation. However, I realize I probably don’t need NODE_FUNCTION_ALLOW_EXTERNAL=moment,sugar-date in both the docker-compose.yml and .env files, but I was experimenting to try to get it working.

You can see I have the modules installed:

CleanShot 2021-03-25 at 21.18.32@2x1434×328 46.9 KB

And this is what my docker-compose.yml looks like. As you can see, I have defined the volumes for the modules in the n8n container as you have advised above.

version: "3"

services:
  traefik:
    image: "traefik"
    restart: always
    command:
      - "--api=true"
      - "--api.insecure=true"
      - "--providers.docker=true"
      - "--providers.docker.exposedbydefault=false"
      - "--entrypoints.websecure.address=:443"
      - "--certificatesresolvers.mytlschallenge.acme.tlschallenge=true"
      - "--certificatesresolvers.mytlschallenge.acme.email=${SSL_EMAIL}"
      - "--certificatesresolvers.mytlschallenge.acme.storage=/letsencrypt/acme.json"
    ports:
      - "443:443"
    volumes:
      - ${DATA_FOLDER}/letsencrypt:/letsencrypt
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro

  n8n:
    image: n8nio/n8n
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:5678:5678"
    labels:
      - traefik.enable=true
      - traefik.http.routers.n8n.rule=Host(`${SUBDOMAIN}.${DOMAIN_NAME}`)
      - traefik.http.routers.n8n.tls=true
      - traefik.http.routers.n8n.entrypoints=websecure
      - traefik.http.routers.n8n.tls.certresolver=mytlschallenge
      - traefik.http.middlewares.n8n.headers.SSLRedirect=true
      - traefik.http.middlewares.n8n.headers.STSSeconds=315360000
      - traefik.http.middlewares.n8n.headers.browserXSSFilter=true
      - traefik.http.middlewares.n8n.headers.contentTypeNosniff=true
      - traefik.http.middlewares.n8n.headers.forceSTSHeader=true
      - traefik.http.middlewares.n8n.headers.SSLHost=${DOMAIN_NAME}
      - traefik.http.middlewares.n8n.headers.STSIncludeSubdomains=true
      - traefik.http.middlewares.n8n.headers.STSPreload=true
    environment:
      - N8N_BASIC_AUTH_ACTIVE=true
      - N8N_BASIC_AUTH_USER
      - N8N_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD
      - N8N_HOST=${SUBDOMAIN}.${DOMAIN_NAME}
      - N8N_PORT=5678
      - N8N_PROTOCOL=https
      - NODE_ENV=production
      - WEBHOOK_TUNNEL_URL=https://${SUBDOMAIN}.${DOMAIN_NAME}/
      - NODE_FUNCTION_ALLOW_EXTERNAL=moment,sugar-date
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - ${DATA_FOLDER}/.n8n:/home/node/.n8n
      - /root/node_modules/sugar-core:/usr/local/lib/node_modules/sugar-core
      - /root/node_modules/sugar-date:/usr/local/lib/node_modules/sugar-date
      - /root/node_modules/moment:/usr/local/lib/node_modules/moment

and my .env

# Folder where data should be saved
DATA_FOLDER=/root/n8n/data/

# The top level domain to serve from
DOMAIN_NAME=domain.com

# The subdomain to serve from
SUBDOMAIN=sub

# DOMAIN_NAME and SUBDOMAIN combined decide where n8n will be reachable from
# above example would result in: https://sub.domain.com

# The user name to use for autentication - IMPORTANT ALWAYS CHANGE!
N8N_BASIC_AUTH_USER=user

# The password to use for autentication - IMPORTANT ALWAYS CHANGE!
N8N_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=passredacted

# Optional timezone to set which gets used by Cron-Node by default
# If not set New York time will be used
GENERIC_TIMEZONE=American/Chicago

# The email address to use for the SSL certificate creation
[email protected]

# Allow external NPM modules
NODE_FUNCTION_ALLOW_EXTERNAL=moment,sugar-date

Thank you!
