Describe the problem/error/question

We are using n8n on our openshift. we are using n8n pod which now uses version 1.109.2 image. we got news from our cluster admins that next year they would migrate to openshift 4.19. before that they would remove cgroups v1 from clusters and only cgroups v2 would be there. please tell all the possible ways to know the compatibility of n8n pod in this scenario

What is the error message (if any)?

I would ask your administrators if you can. They would probably know about the compatibility in this case. I would ensure though that node.js will also be compatible since N8N relies on that too.

From what I could find though, most versions of node.js are compatible with cgroups v2. So you should be fine hopefully, but I would still ask your administrators for more information.

  • Happy New Year!

Hi achamm,

Happy new year !

Thank you for the response.

I had already asked my cluster admins and they responded as not out responsibility.

Is there any way with which i could know about this and try to get a 100 percent confirmation and i even checked my node version and its 22 above.

Regards,

Athul

Well I had asked AI about this and it said yes, it will be compatible, but I don’t always trust AI.

I looked it up and got this -

Hey @krishna.athul !

You are quite explaining yourself while asking lol.

The admins of the cluster announced they would migrate to openshift 4.19 version this year and prior to that starting from january month they would remove the cgroups v1 and there would only be cgroups v2

And henceforth has asked to check every pod compatibility

And here one of the fellows I know explains very well thus cgroups

I don’t think that n8n is impacted here…

Cheers!
