Self hosted Docker install starts but web page is blank

Hello,

New user trying to get n8n up and running.
I have spent some time with web searches and reviewing docs with no luck.

The last few lines of my logs are:
Initializing n8n process
n8n ready on 0.0.0.0, port 5678
Version: 1.74.1
Editor is now accessible via:
http://localhost:5678/

When I go to that web page (via Safari, Brave, or Chrome) it comes up with a blank page, no errors.

Inspecting the page in Safari, the only thing that comes up is this error:
TypeError: crypto.randomUUID is not a function. (In ‘crypto.randomUUID()’, ‘crypto.randomUUID’ is undefined)
I was not sure what to do with that so I tried other versions with the same results.

Appreciate the help,
Michael

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

I have the same issue and reported error in the browser. Started right after updating to 1.74.1. Tried Chrome on a Chromebook, iOS, also Safari on iOS. Running in a docker on Raspberry Pi 4. I tried both reinstalling fresh via npm, same issue.

Interesting. Thanks for the confirmation. Maybe I should try a much older version. I also did 1.74.0 and 1.75.0 with the same results. Maybe just keep going backwards.

I am also having this issue with a nearly identical setup. Please let me know if you find a version that works or if you find a solution @afpilot !

For the record, 1.73.1 does not have this issue.

Ok, I am finally logged in with version 1.73.1.
I had no success with version 1.75.0, 1.74.0, and 1.73.0.
I’ve made it to a log in screen and have setup my account.
Now to finally get to ussing this.

Thanks

Facing the same issue after the latest update, version: 1.74.1. Nothing in the logs either just that Editor is now accessible via: http://localhost:5678/ but getting a blank white screen while trying to access it …

try rolling back to 1.73.1 and see in your browsers console , it may be related to this issue WebUI cannot load: crypto.randomUUID is not a function · Issue #12624 · n8n-io/n8n · GitHub
I had the same problem using 1.74.1 in Firefox on MacOS Chrome worked fine. after rolling back, all browsers were fine again.
