Questions

Hello friends, I have a question, I need to use zlib, on my Hostinger self-hosted n8n. I asked Gemini, to add “- NODE_FUNCTION_ALLOW_EXTERNAL=zlib” in my docker-compose / environment, but I still have the error message “Module ‘zlib’ is disallowed”, can anyone help me to solve this little problem ? Thanks !!!

@Arnaud_Latourrette , hope you are doing well!
I would avoid importing zlib in the Code node and move that compression/decompression step to an Execute Command node or a small external service, since module imports in the Code node are restricted by design and depend on the runtime allowlist.
