package.json
“scripts”: {
“start”: “n8n”
},
“dependencies”: {
“n8n”: “^1.21.1”
}
}
and .env

Define the host and protocol

N8N_HOST=automation.rightside-up-media.com
N8N_PROTOCOL=https
WEBHOOK_URL=https://automation.rightside-up-media.com/

Set your timezone to Asia/Manila

GENERIC_TIMEZONE=Asia/Manila

Set the SSL email for LetsEncrypt (optional, if you plan on using SSL via n8n)

asking ChatGpt and going in circles
What should I do?

hello @Dev_Worx

What’s this? What are you trying to install and how?

Hello,
I’m attempting to install n8n on a VPS. Most of the installation is completed with the help of ChatGPT, Does it look incorrect?

how are you trying to install it? It’s basically a couple of docker commands…
Docker | n8n Docs

I used npm and node. Should I use docker instead?

Hi, try installing with those variables:

N8N_EDITOR_BASE_URL=https://automation.rightside-up-media.com
N8N_HOST=your url minus the “automation.rightside-up-media.com
WEBHOOK_TUNNEL_URL=automation.rightside-up-media.com
WEBHOOK_URL=automation.rightside-up-media.com
N8N_PORT=443
N8N_PROTOCOL=https
N8N_USER_FOLDER=/n8n-data
NODE_VERSION=22.14
HOST_RUN_UID=0

Appreciate your help. Started fresh with docker, was able to get it running
