Lost data after updating to version 1.123.2. Data reverts to version 11/28/2025

Today I just updated n8n to version 1.123.2 using Docker Compose. However, after the update was successful, all my data returned to 11/28/2025.

Can you tell me if there is any way to retrieve the previous data?

Thanks

Hey @thanhdp1305 !

What looks like the output of docker volume ls command ?

Maybe a mix of images in your docker compose file… can you share that as well(hide sensitive info).

Recovery only if you have some backup…

Cheers!

This is my current docker-compose.yml:

This command:

docker volume inspect n8n_data

thenn ou can then ls the Mountpoint path toseeie the actual database.sqlite, config, etc. that n8n is using… you can check there for timestamps and see if is there.
