Oclif timeout on startup

HSerge · May 21, 2025, 8:34pm

During the oinitial start I get timeout:

As I understand, this happens only on startup. This is not a workflow related.
I tried to research but couldn’t find any reports of this issue.

If you testing atm, i’d recommend using dockers, it seems like an env issue which is avoided normally by using dockers. I see no reference to n8n in the error either, what version node u using?

HSerge · May 22, 2025, 4:48am

I use node v22.15.0

King_Samuel_David · May 22, 2025, 5:25pm

20.19.0 is default with dockers image for n8n, that’s for n8n version 1.91.3, I would probably recommending using a built image by them dockers etc, or try downgrade, it could be some changes made which aren’t compatible.

Hope this helps

Thanks for your prompt response.

I guess using the Docker image is the most acceptable solution. I see several other issues as well, for example, Settings > Timezone gives 404, and the timezone list is empty, and people suggest using Docker, where it works.

I’ll give Docker a try, which will also help to put it in Kubernetes for automatic scaling, queuing, etc.

Yes, if u want to run k8s locally it’s fine, can be good but I need to learn more on k8s, might setup soon, but I just use dockers, this is my

I added a few extra, like pgadmin, grafana, prom, I disabled queue mode, though I have works in this, but u can reference it all here n8n-hosting/docker-compose/subfolderWithSSL at main · n8n-io/n8n-hosting · GitHub

Also some people use ngrok for temp domain, I use cloudflare with a domain I own for my prod, this will use localhost my sample, so u can’t do callback urls for some services.

Some people also use railway, quick easy deployments and alredy give u domain name etc.

Let me know if u have any questions ill try help more if i can
