No reply from docker hosted n8n on my own server

Caveat, I am running n8n in docker but i also have 100+ virtual web hosts in my apache config on the same server.

This worked for me to get n8n running on the same box.

I had to add in the Proxy modules for Apache

Using Ubuntu Linux 22.04 this is

a2enmod proxy
a2enmod proxy_http
a2enmod ssl

Reload the apache configuration’

systemctl reload apache2

I then set up 2 new virtual host in apache.

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName anything.example.com

    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ServerAlias anything.example.com

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/reverse-proxy-anything.example.com.error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/reverse-proxy-anything.example.com.access.log combined

    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyPass / http://localhost:5678/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:5678/
</VirtualHost>

And the HTTP

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName anything.example.com

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/reverse-proxy-http.anything.example.com.error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/reverse-proxy-http.anything.example.comccess.log combined

    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyPass / http://localhost5678:/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:5678/
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =anything.example.com
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>

I then ran ‘certbot --apache’ and enabled letsencrypt for TLS

certbot --apache

restarted apache2

Stopped the docker instance - I only have n8n running in docker currently

docker compose down

In the n8n docker image i removed any reference to Traefik then started docker again.

docker compose up -d

I can now hit my n8n URL and get to the system easily.
Thanks to @netroy and @Jon for pointing me in the correct direction.
