i am certain my GCP external IP is correct. But how to get it run in cloud? Thanks for the pointer. I understand the GitHub project is mean to run the whole AI project locally. But it would be fun if i could run in a cloud (as it’s always free tier), and i am find to use my OpenAI’s API key instead of Ollama due to the limited power in my VM
An e2 micro instance likely won’t have the power to run everything properly, If you wanted to give it a bash anyway the first thing to do would be to work out how you want to expose the service to the outside world. You could do this by opening port 5678 on the firewall or use a reverse proxy / tunnel to handle it.
Looking at the error though I suspect the problem is down to firewall rules not being in place so I would start there.
shouldn’t be prob to run in e2 micro coz my AI model pointed to openAI (consuming my credit instead of run the ollama locally)

@weilies_chok while it points to OpenAI it still needs to run things locally and you are putting a lot on very small resources it is just something to keep in mind.
Looking at your config now you are trying to access n8n on port 5678 but nginx will likely be trying on 443 but as you are trying to use the IP and port 5678 I would make sure you have n8n set to listen on the correct host network on port 5678 in your docker config or check that it is at least running in the container then you can try curl from the host to see if you can reach localhost:5678 and move out from there.
