Hello guys.
I am using n8n Docker on ubuntu linux server.

I did it so long time ago, but I use this nginx config: https://termbin.com/2f9j
The last two certificates had been generated by certbot so remove them and then try to run certbot via sudo certbot

Docker run command: docker run -d --restart always --name n8n2 -p 127.0.0.1:5678:443 -e N8N_HOST="n8n.hryszko.dev" -e N8N_PORT=443 -e N8N_PROTOCOL="https" -e WEBHOOK_TUNNEL_URL="https://n8n.hryszko.dev/" -e VUE_APP_URL_BASE_API="https://n8n.hryszko.dev" -v /home/simon/n8n-local-files:/files -v ~/.n8n:/home/node/.n8n n8nio/n8n

Like I mentioned I did it long time ago but LMK if does not work I’ll try to help

Hey @rhodesgod,

When you set up the docker container did you also take the traefik approach to put a reverse proxy in front of it or did you use something else?

  1. Make a file in /etc/nginx/pages-enabled with my config except the last lines made by let’s encrypt also change your domain
  2. Check config with sudo nginx -t
  3. Run let’s encrypt to generate certificate for the same domain as in nginx file
  4. Run Docker
  5. Check if it’s working

Hope it’s gonna work
