Wow. I am so impressed with n8n. Everything so far has been easy, with one exception.
I set up n8n on windows and was able to send POST webhooks to it with Postman and no Authentication
So I fired up a docker instance and pointed to it with Nginx Reverse proxy.
I can get to the UI at https://n8n.example.com
When I set up a webhook, it looks like https://n8n.example.com:5678/webhook...
But when I send POST webhooks to it with Postman and no Authentication, Postman reports Error: connect ECONNREFUSED
What am I missing?
Cheers, Richard
Hey @RichardC
Can I see your environment variables? Have a look for mine, maybe sth is missing?

I’d be happy to show you if I knew where to find them. The version I’m using was set up for unRaid. The only variables I’ve set are for basic auth, username and password, plus Webhook Tunnel URL:
which I set to https://n8n.example.com:5678/
The documents you linked to make no mention of sth.How would I figure out what I need to do?
Thanks, Richard
Cool,
So I believe you does not own set domain example.com
do question is do you have domain what you wish to use?
If so, then set up following variables: N8N_HOST, N8N_PORT and WEBHOOK_URL
Try set up those and let me know if it work

Correct. I do not own example.com
. It’s common to use example.com
as a way to show how something is set up without revealing the name of the actual domain.
I figured out by looking at your variables that the WEBHOOK_URL
should not include the port.
Thanks, Richard
