I just answered your topic here:

> Sadly could not test with Lightsail, because when I try to create an instance I get the error ResourceLimitExceed. So I used Digital Ocean instead and created a totally new and clean droplet. For it I selected Ubuntu 20.04 and then followed the Server Setup Guide. I made a few changes while doing that to account for version 20.04, to also upgrade all packages to the latest version (never a bad idea): [https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n-docs/commit/db0881fc5d1f99731f99e3ab601b83f96ea87181](https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n-docs/commit/db0881fc5d1f99731f99e3ab601b83f96ea87181) at the end …

What you could try is to start instead with:

```bash
sudo docker-compose up -d

```

just with:

```bash
sudo docker-compose up

```

If you do that you should see the output of the processes. Mainly traefik as it looks like the problem is related to it. It seems not to be able to create the SSL certificate with letsencrypt and so probably does also not serve n8n correctly.

Just to be 100% sure. Did you set the values in the `.env` file correctly?

```auto
...
# The top level domain to serve from
DOMAIN_NAME=bttrr.com

# The subdomain to serve from
SUBDOMAIN=n8n
...

```
