Subject: Help: Webhook URL includes port 5678 — how to remove it?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to understand how the webhook URL is generated in n8n. I’m running n8n using the following command:

docker run -d \
  --name n8n \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 5678:5678 \
  -v n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n \
  -e N8N_BASIC_AUTH_ACTIVE=false \
  -e N8N_AUTH_EXCLUDE_ENDPOINTS="*" \
  -e N8N_HOST=$HOST \
  -e N8N_PORT=5678 \
  -e N8N_PROTOCOL=https \
  -e N8N_DIAGNOSTIC_DATA_SAVE_MANUAL_EXECUTIONS=true \
  -e N8N_WEBHOOK_URL=$URL \
  docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n > /var/log/n8n-lab/n8n.log 2>&1

However, the webhook URL that n8n generates includes the port like this:

https://xyz.com:5678/rest/oauth2-credential/callback

But I don’t want the port :5678 to appear in the URL.

How does n8n determine this, and how can I configure it to exclude the port in the generated webhook URL?

Thanks in advance!

What is N8N_WEBHOOK_URL? Which documentation did you follow to find this env variable? Same about N8N_DIAGNOSTIC_DATA_SAVE_MANUAL_EXECUTIONS. Same about N8N_AUTH_EXCLUDE_ENDPOINTS. Same about N8N_BASIC_AUTH_ACTIVE.

Are you trusting what ChatGPT tells you? :slight_smile:

Hey @jabbson , I referred this link Endpoints environment variables | n8n Docs

But these variables do not exist on the page you linked
