Running n8n in Replit

[Derek_Cheung]

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m trying to get n8n to run on Replit

What is the error message (if any)?

When hooking up to the Postgres DB in Replit, I get error saying that I need SSL connection to DB

Hey @Derek_Cheung,

Welcome to the community

We don’t officially Replit but luckily it looks like the error you are getting is something that can be fixed by setting some env options.

For Postgres we have a few SSL/TLS options you can set depending on your Postgres configuration which I have listed below for you, You can find the full list and descriptions here: Environment variables reference | n8n Docs

DB_POSTGRESDB_SSL_CA
DB_POSTGRESDB_SSL_CERT
DB_POSTGRESDB_SSL_KEY
DB_POSTGRESDB_SSL_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED
