Hello, I somehow messed up. I was trying to create a tunnel to get HTTPS for my locally hosted n8n, and I did something I’m not sure about (I followed a YouTube setup from someone). It was fine until I checked my tunneled site, but it didn’t work. When I tried to log in to my locally hosted n8n, it asked me to sign up. In my Docker, it shows this:
Can somebody help me ? (don’t call me dumb and ask me anything regarding this , i know nothing- jon snow, but please WELLPP MEEE)
Hi,
Do you have a persistent volume attached? If, not you might have lost everything. It would just start “fresh” without anything if it doesn’t have a persistent volume

persistent volume means? i have no idea, the reason i did i initially hosted and it was running perfectly, so only http, i wanted to have https but somehow i removed it, i used chatgpt a lot, was tryna fix that for 3 hours 
(not crying) and i had set up all my credentials, starting new means i have to add again o hell noo 
Hi,
As described here :
You first create the volume (1 time) and then you connect it each time.
If you are lucky you have one but you just forgot to attach it

Mistakes are the best learning school. It speeds up the pace of becoming pro 
soo soo bro? i have to re host again ? if so how to add https and all the essential such as , creating limit on execution storage, tunneling, and all these.
I want to start learning automations, but this thing is fugggin mee up
thanks for the motivation (proceeding on to have (negative)
3 hours sleep)
First check if you have any volumes for N8N
If none, there little else to do. Than to restart.
Also make sure you know how to backup things just in case you want to follow a video again
Good luck
I have these files |/Users/self-hosted-ai-starter-kit/n8n/backup|/backup|
| — | — |
|/User/self-hosted-ai-starter-kit/shared| haha but i don’t know how to use them and my credentials and everything is perfectly stored in my backup, but i have no idea what to do .
Sorry to trouble you brother
But that one is the one based on a docker-compose file right?
If you bring it down and up again you get these errors?
Reg,
J.
yes exactly
