Websocket possible without custom build Docker?

Questions
1

Hi,

is it possible to use a websocket without building a custom docker? Isn’t there a node or such which I can use?

I’m not a ts or js dev, nor had I ever build custom dockers (this is, why I use a low code platform :wink:)- so this would be a huge thing to me.

Is there a simpler way to use it?

Regards

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:

Hi @ptC7H12 ,

We don’t have a websocket node at the moment. Afraid you’d have to go custom.

There is a feature request for it, if you want to upvote, Websockets Trigger. But it is not currently in our roadmap

Did not try it but there seems to be a community node that you could install and check out:

“just install” includes a custom docker build, doesn’t it? (What I mentioned above, and I would like, to avoid)

No it can be done via the GUI. You can find the instructions here:

Hey, thank you very much! But it seems, that it doesn’t work, as least for my needs…

Last question - where does the GUI Installation search for Custom Nodes? Is it on github or on npmjs?
When I try to create my own node in my github repository, can I install it from there?
