Lost my credentials and workflows after updating

[thibz]

Hello!

After updating n8n on my Kubernetes Cluster I lost all workflows and even my credentials, when I reach my N8N Url I end up being redirected to the setup page…

How can this be possible given the fact that I have a volume linked and mounted on the following path : /home/node/.n8n ??

Information on your n8n setup

• n8n version: 1.80.5 previously → 1.81.4 now
• **Database (default: SQLite): SQLite
• **n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): default
• **Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Kubernetes (Docker)
• **Operating system: Ubuntu

You would need to make sure your volume is persistent.

ChatGPT can help you to find that information in your server.

Let me know how it goes!

Hey Solomon,

Thanks for your answer.

The thing is my volume is persistent.

From what I’ve seen inside the pod it looks like the /home/node/.n8n folder only contains a lost+found folder.

But when I navigate to /root/.n8n I can see a database.sqlite file for example.

Is this normal?

Thx
