N8N as a subfolder with nginx

Questions
1

Hi,

We are setting up N8N to run as a subfolder on http://www.example.com/automation

I’ve added the following in .env

# The subfolder to serve from
SUBFOLDER=automation
N8N_PATH=/automation/

In NGINX configuration, I’ve added a reverse proxy configuration for the n8n container

location /automation {
     proxy_pass http://n8n:5678;
     add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff;
     proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
     proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
   }

Error we get is 404 in nginx for css and scripts to load

Hi @navdeep,

What config are you using to run n8n with?

Hi @Jon, please find below my docker-compose config file for n8n

n8n:

I think you would need the ${N8N_PATH} in your Webhook URL as well but for this one I think you just need to set

VUE_APP_URL_BASE_API=https://${DOMAIN_NAME}${N8N_PATH}
