"Server refused the connection" connecting to Baserow

[thelorax76]

I’ve been trying to setup a workflow in n8n to update Baserow.

I have Baserow (v. 1.19.1) and n8n (v. 1.1.1) running on my MacBook (Ventura) using Docker following the [guides on the Baserow site](https://baserow.io/blog/link-multiple-baserow-rows?utm_source=community&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=bulk%20row%20linking#5-add-credentials-on-n8n-to-authenticate-nodes). I’ve created credentials in n8n with my Baserow username and password.

When I try to set up the Baserow node, I select the credentials, but the “Database Name or ID” and “Table Name or ID” and “Row ID” fields turn red with the error message: "There was a problem loading the parameter options from server: “The service refused the connection - perhaps it is offline.” I am therefore unable to create the workflow. Screencap attached.

Ultimately I want to copy one column of numbers into another column of numbers to create linkages between two tables.

Hey @thelorax76,

Welcome to the community

Are you using the correct host for your Baserow instance? As an example if you have both n8n and Baserow in docker and you set n8n to look at localhost / 127.0.0.1 for Baserow it will fail to connect and you would need to make sure you are using the correct Docker IP or Hostname for your Baserow instance.

Originally I had localhost in that field. But we tried changing it (in n8n credentials for Baserow) to http://172.17.0.2:8080 and http://172.17.0.2, and neither of those seem to have made any difference.

Update: I have it working now after starting with a new Baserow container in Docker. Not sure why it didn’t work the first time.
