It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

• n8n version:
• Database (default: SQLite):
• n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
• Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
• Operating system:

hello @Larri_Benedetti

I do not see that you have configured https, so that workaround should help

Not able to login to either Docker or npm version of n8n via local network

So as a temporary solution if you are not using https at all you can set the N8N_SECURE_COOKIE env option to false and this should get you back up and running.

I am getting the same error, I am using the Postgres with a worker docker compose instance. I had n8n running perfectly fine up until last month, but when I updated my container, my “docker-compose.yml” and my “init-data.sh”, I started having some errors.

Already tried using:

• user-management:reset
• ldap:reset
• using an earlier commit of init-data.sh

But no to no avail, any ideas?

N8N_SECURE_COOKIE

Have you tried to set the N8N_SECURE_COOKIE?

[luizdisconzi]

Yes, I just tried setting N8N_SECURE_COOKIE=FALSE on my .env file and I am still getting the “Init Error” followed by “Error while submitting results”.

I am also getting “WARN[0000] /root/docker/docker-compose.yml: version is obsolete” which I don’t believe it was there before I updated n8n.

Edit: So I was setting up the N8N_SECURE_COOKIE on my .env file instead of configuring like this page shows. Setting the cookie to false worked for me, thank you.

[luizdisconzi]

So not sure if this is a consequence of setting N8N_SECURE_COOKIE to false, but now I can’t log in to my google drive account, I get {“status”: “error”, “message”: “Unauthorized” }, again this was working perfectly fine before the update.
