N8n on ubuntu server

[Philip_Wiggins]

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m trying something new and installing n8n on a ubuntu server. I’m currently have trouble with changing the webhook urls and other enb configurations. I know I’m doing something wrong, just haven’t figured out what it is yet. Right now I’m just trying to change the url of webhooks and the base url. Below is what I’m trying. I’ve also done this in an env.txt file, but I’m not sure how to point thest n8n start to that config file. I’ve tried some of the other support pages, but I think it just confuses me more.

Thanks for the help.

Hey @Philip_Wiggins,

You will need to set the WEBHOOK_URL env option like you have with the editor base and vue app although you can drop those 2.

The notice about the editor being available on localhost doesn’t really matter but if you wanted to change that as well you can change the N8N_HOST value, I would also recommend running n8n in a docker container rather than using npm.
