Hi,  
I am having some difficulty in running n8n from outside. It works fine on the localhost (On our dedicated server).  
I have configured both the docker-compose and the .env file properly, but still I am facing some issue accessing it.  
All necessary ports are also open and the firewall access is also good to go.

Hey @mynewopportunities,

A few quick things to try based on the Discord info…

1. Make sure you don’t have any other web servers running on the same host
2. Make sure the firewall is correctly configured for port 80 for Traefik to generate the certificate
3. Check your n8n configuration options and make sure you have `WEBHOOK_URL` set and that up have not changed `N8N_PROTOCOL`
