IN a Docker-deployed n8n, getting the link to the generated file

Questions
1

The example workflow below can convert a user-uploaded TXT file into an HTML file with the same name and return the download link for the file.

However, the link does not include the domain name,
(e.g: sandbox:/home/node/temp/hello.html)
so the file cannot be viewed or downloaded.

Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated in advance.

Below is a demonstration video.

Workflow config code:
txt2html - Pastebin.com

hello @ichat006

you can’t create a download link with local files. They are accessible only for the n8n, not for you. You will need an external storage for that.
