N8n Installation Script for Raspberry Pi (n8n-pi)

Getting Started with n8n Docs & Tutorials

Hey @ixidion! Thanks for the updated information. Things are much clearer now! :face_with_monocle:

OK. So a couple of things.

  1. The script was designed to run on a clean image of Raspberry Pi OS. It sounds like there was at least one other application (Pi-Hole) that was installed previously. I have not done any testing with other applications in place so there could be some unpredictable results.
  2. It looks like you ran the installer script at least twice before it gave an error the second time the the n8n user already existed.
  3. There is a second script that is installed by the first script that has not been run. This script will run automatically when you reboot the RPi and then log in as the n8n user (default password is n8n=gr8!).

My recommended plan of attack for you would be:

  1. Reboot the RPi
  2. Log in as the n8n user
  3. Let the next script run
  4. Reboot again
  5. Check for the interface on port 5678

If that does not work, I would suggest getting your hands on a second microSD card and then put a fresh image of Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit) Lite on it and try again. This may give you better results.

Let me know how you make out.
