setup fails with 401 via Docker instance about n8n HOT 5 CLOSED

pulled up the webpage on a different maschine

Yeah, we did not anticipate that many users who are running n8n on headless system will not have https configured. But since there have been a couple of complaints, I'm looking into addressing this.
Until then, can you please add the env variable N8N_SECURE_COOKIE=false to the docker container or setup https 🙏🏽 ?

the setup is failing, and no logging was produced

Sorry about this. I'm working on adding explicit error message in the frontend for scenarios like these.

most of the required packages are deprecated

We've updated quite a lot of packages since the last stable release (2 weeks ago), so hopefully soon you should not be seeing more than a couple of deprecated packages.
We are actively working towards replacing those remaining ones as well, but those packages are often 7 level deep dependencies, and not at all easy to replace.

are you using http://localhost:5678/ or some other IP/hostname ?
This likely due to the auth cookie now being allowed to be used only in a secure context.
You can try disabling the secure flag by adding -e N8N_SECURE_COOKIE=false to the docker run command.

i pulled up the webpage on a different maschine as the docker container was running on a headless box.

the main problem is that the setup is failing, and no logging was produced. i rerun it earlier and encountered the same issue and checked docker logs(but it didn't return anything new, only the boot up text when n8n is launched.

without docker the mess it creates is even bigger as most of the required packages are deprecated!

I am going to move this to closed as it should be resolved now.
