Hi!

New community user here. I’ve just installed the app.

I’m trying to add credentials; however, there is nowhere to add them on the screen.  
There doesn’t appear to be an error in the logs. (I’ve turned on debug too)

Hey, how are you running n8n? Docker or pnpm? Also, what credentials are you trying to add exactly?

I’m running it in Docker. I’ve tried OpenAI, Gemini, & slack, and this page is the same for all of them.

Same here!  
It doesn´t matter what Credential I want to add. The fields are missing.  
I upgraded, i downgraded, removed the container, recreated and so on.

- **Database: postgress**

Could you share your dockerfiles and also the command you use to start your conatiners?

Here’s my config: [home-ops/kubernetes/apps/home-automation/n8n/app/helmrelease.yaml at main · damacus/home-ops · GitHub](https://github.com/damacus/home-ops/blob/main/kubernetes/apps/home-automation/n8n/app/helmrelease.yaml)

I don’t think there’s anything unusual there. I’m not changing the entry point, and I suspect no one else here is

I’ve tried with and without: WEBHOOK\_URL &N8N\_PROXY\_HOPS

My instance isn’t currently available via the web, I don’t know if that is causing this error?

Hey, can all of the people here on the thread try and clear your browser’s cache if you haven’t already? I’m interested if its a frontend issue or note. Then, we might need logs from docker to check further.

To fix this can you make sure you don’t have `N8N_DEFAULT_LOCALE` set in your n8n env options? There is a bug at the moment where setting this results in credential pages being empty.
