New install, self-hosting. Execution never ends, keeps spinning

I have the same issue where the workflows do execute, but the spinning circles on each node would not show, the circle on the “Execute Workflow” button would not stop spinning, and the circle on the stop button (when clicked) would not stop spinning.

I am running v0.164.0 in a Docker container from n8nio/n8n on Debian 11. The container is proxied by an Nginx Proxy Manager container.

My findings:

  • No problems running from a Linux Mint desktop using Vivaldi, Firefox, or Chrome.
  • No problems running from a Windows 10 VM using Vivaldi, Firefox, or Edge.
  • My wife has two work provided laptops running Windows 10. She experiences the issues I mentioned above using Firefox, Edge, and Chrome.
  • Enabling SSL on my proxy for n8n resolves the issues I mentioned above on her two laptops for Firefox, Edge, and Chrome.

My suspicion is that a browser plugin or some policy pushed to my wife’s corporate laptops is the source of her problem. This would also appear true for @Loris_Bogo in post 20 where his issues only exist using his office workstation, but not from his home workstation over the VPN.

Hopefully this helps with the troubleshooting even though I couldn’t fine the exact problem.
