Describe the problem/error/question

When I start my workflow my console says something about permissions, but they are ignored and the instance launches normally.

What is the error message (if any)?

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> docker run -it --rm --name n8n -p 5678:5678 -v C:\Users\[Me]\.n8n:/home/node/.n8n docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n
Permissions 0777 for n8n settings file /home/node/.n8n/config are too wide. This is ignored for now, but in the future n8n will attempt to change the permissions automatically. To automatically enforce correct permissions now set N8N_ENFORCE_SETTINGS_FILE_PERMISSIONS=true (recommended), or turn this check off set N8N_ENFORCE_SETTINGS_FILE_PERMISSIONS=false.

There is a deprecation related to your environment variables. Please take the recommended actions to update your configuration:
 - N8N_RUNNERS_ENABLED -> Running n8n without task runners is deprecated. Task runners will be turned on by default in a future version. Please set `N8N_RUNNERS_ENABLED=true` to enable task runners now and avoid potential issues in the future. Learn more: https://docs.n8n.io/hosting/configuration/task-runners/

This part of the error message is literally the solution as well.
You need to tighten up the permissions on the /home/node/.n8n/config file.

Try sudo chmod 644 config from the /home/node/.n8n/ directory.

Can you provide a step by step in where I have to go and how to open the /home/node/.n8n/ directory please? I have little to no idea what am I doing. Basically I brute forced myself into making this work by looking to a lot of tutorials. My knowledge is barebones.

Bump.

Please, anyone?
