I am trying to create a custom docker image by adding few changes in the n8n. I tried building the image. The image was built successfully. But when i try to run the built image, I am using the built image in docker-compose file. When I try to run it, I am getting n8n_1 | [FATAL tini (7)] exec ./docker-entrypoint.sh failed: No such file or directory
I am using files from n8n/docker/images/n8n-custom at master · n8n-io/n8n · GitHub.
Please help.
I am using the files from n8n-custom
@Mahesh_Thiru Can you please run the docker image directly and see if that works?
docker run -it --rm --name n8n -p 5678:5678 n8n-custom-image-name
Did you modify the Dockerfile?
The default entry point is ./docker-entrypoint.sh which resolves to /home/node/docker-entrypoint.sh, but your screenshot says that it’s looking for /docker-entrypoint.sh in the root folder.
No I did not modify the docker file. I attaching the files that I have now from my vscode

These are the same files from the below path
I don’t see anything wrong in the files you posted. but to double check, I cloned a fresh copy of the repo, ran docker build -t n8n-custom -f docker/images/n8n-custom/Dockerfile . to build an image, and was able to run it without any issues via docker run -it --rm --name n8n -p 5678:5678 n8n-custom.
Can you please post the output of this command:
docker history n8n-custom-1 --no-trunc --format "{{.CreatedBy}}"|grep ENTRYPOINT
do you by any chance have a volume in your compose file that mounts to /home/node ?
Yes. I confirm that I have it.

can you change n8n_storage:/home/node/ to n8n_storage:/home/node/.n8n please?
I’ll update the sample docker-compose files in the repo to do the same.
If this works for you, we’d need to run another command to move any data in the volume’s .n8n folder to the root of the volume.
Hello @netroy
I changed the compose file. But getting the below error now.
Not sure, if this is because of my python version. Please suggest.
I’ve created a PR to move the entrypoint file for custom images so that it doesn’t get overwritten like this.
Regarding the new error, are you on an ARM machine? like an M1 mac?
Not sure about that.
But Not a Mac definitely!!
Hello @netroy ,
After Multiple attempts I am unable to figure out whats wrong in my docker-compose.yml. However, Now I can confirm that
docker run -it --rm --name n8n -p 5678:5678 n8n-custom
Command runs n8n in my local. But still I am getting
n8n_1 | /bin/busybox:1
n8n_1 | ELF
n8n_1 | ^
n8n_1 |

Below error when I refer the image in my docker-compose.yml and use docker-compose up. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Is this issue related to OS compatability of the commands in docker-compose.yml ?
Can you run the published latest image from docker hub? or are you seeing the same issue with that as well?
So, the issue seems to be that you have command defined in the docker-compose file, which isn’t compatible with the default entrypoint on these custom images.
If you change command from /bin/sh -c "n8n start --tunnel" to just n8n start --tunnel, that should fix the issue.
