Issue when using n8n-caddy

[soba-james]

I’m seeing this error when I’m trying to run docker-compose:

Cannot stop container: <id>: permission denied

I understand that I should have ran docker-compose down but I’m also having an issue doing so. It complains both permission denied and network n8n-docker-caddy_default has active endpoints.

This is odd since I was able to run docker-compose down before and had no issues with running these commands. I’ve tried multiple things that online forums have recommended such as running docker network prune or removing orphans or removing the network directly. Nothing seems to be working for me.

Anyone know how I can successfully shut these containers down so I can build my new one with the new n8n versions?

Hey @soba-james,

That looks like docker is telling you that your user doesn’t have permission to stop the container, Have you tried doing it as root?

Hi, I am logged in as root, I’ve also tried sudo commands and it just doesn’t seem to work

@soba-james If you are on Linux, can you please check if you have AppArmor active?

Also, please do not delete the Information on your n8n setup section when creating new posts, that’s very important information, and is often helpful in figuring out the issues quicker.

@netroy Updated n8n setup information. Here’s my AppArmor setup:

Was able to get past this issue by stopping docker overall. If anyone ran into a similar issue, let me know and I can share the steps.
