That is normal because n container can be running at the same time. What might happen it’s that If you start a new container with the old container running (unless you change the port using -p), the second container will crash because it will try using the same port. Stop the “old” container from the Docker desktop UI and start a new container using the latest n8n image. Are you persisting the data using volumes? Because If you do not do that, the data will be lost when you delete it.
Thanks @Jon
for everytime I use n8n,i do this step:
1-- First click on the docker icon in the lower right corner of windows 11 to open docker.
2–If the image is not running, let it run first…
3–Open the browser, http://localhost:5678/
Yeah I think that step may have been missed, If you check the options you pass to the container did you ever map anything to /home/node/.n8n inside the container?
