I am having a problem with n8n on my server installed via npm
We can’t use docker, so we wanted to install it with npm and there is almost no documentation about it, everything is about docker.
The problem I have is that I created a n8n.service file, but it doesn’t work, this is the content of it:
[Unit]
Description=n8n
After=mariadb.service
[Service]
User=
Environment=NODE_PORT=5678
Environment=DB_TYPE=mariadb
Environment=DB_MYSQLDB_DATABASE=n8n
Environment=DB_MYSQLDB_HOST=127.0.0.1
Environment=DB_MYSQLDB_USER=
Environment=DB_MYSQLDB_PASSWORD=
Environment=GENERIC_TIMEZONE=Europe/Madrid
ExecStart=/var/www/n8n/node_modules/n8n/bin/n8n
WorkingDirectory=/var/www/n8n/
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
If I manually use the command
/var/www/n8n/node_modules/n8n/bin/n8n
It works, but with the service it gives error:
