Welcome n8n community. This is my first message, so I’m pretty excited. Also, I’m new in this whole n8n thing, but after I saw and heard about this and I like it alot.
I’ve installed n8n on my Raspberry Pi 4 model B. I run it with command:
It works fine but the problem is that when I save my workflow and restart docker - my saved workflow is lost. What to do that I can save and open my workflow after restart my PI and/or docker?
First, it looks like you are using a very old n8n version (0.76.0, the current version is 0.97.0). Not that this is the problem but would still recommend updating.
Now to your actual problem. The Pi image expects a different path. The reason is that the original n8n docker image did run n8n as “root” and got updated later to run as “node” instead. To not break for existing user, did we make sure it works with both paths. The Pi image however got much later and then directly only for the “node” user. Meaning the path is not /root/.n8n it is /home/node/.n8n . Meaning you have to run the following instead:
@jan Thank you for kind words of welcome and useful answer!
Well, I’ve used your command and it looks like it doesn’t work for now. After type this, I get this message:
