I am currently self hosting on an EC2 instance , but having an issue where there is no feedback from n8n when testing the workflows. Webhook node for testing just sits there even though postman confirms a “workflow was started” , I can see the execution correctly receiving the data but the flow never updates to be able to make adjustments / work on the canvas itself.
Doing some research I found that this is potentially a websocket issue and to look into NGINX. Unfortunately I have very little experience specifically with NGINX. The server is additionally behind a load balancer / domain setup in aws, not sure if this could / would cause any additional issues. Which ports I need to have traffic on or if I am missing something entirely.
Information on your n8n setup
- n8n Version1.69.2
- Database SQLite
- n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting own, main
- Running n8n via Docker
- **Operating system: Ubuntu **
