N8n Docker on ubuntu 22.04 keep restarting - error permission denied

[onurbolaca]

Hey,

I was having this error;

"Error: EACCES: permission denied, open ‘/home/node/.n8n/crash.journal’

I tried this command on break changes;

n8n v1.0 migration guide | n8n Docs

still permission denied:

But it keep restarting the n8n image.

I used this setup:

Docker Compose | n8n Docs

here is my docker-compose.yml and .env files:

I want to only use the n8n with Ip Adress without adding any domain address:

Hey @onurbolaca,

Using the command you found is correct but it wasn’t updated to use the correct path which is why it didn’t help, Can you try the below which should sort it.

docker run --rm -it --user root -v /home/cronimetuser/n8n/:/home/node/.n8n --entrypoint chown n8nio/base:16 -R node:node /home/node/.n8n
