URGENT: Paid User - n8n Instance Owner Setup Loop
I'm a paying Railway customer and my n8n service is stuck in an infinite owner setup loop despite:
- N8N_USER_MANAGEMENT_DISABLED=true
- Database is clean (verified)
- Multiple Dockerfile variations tried
- Getting "/bin/sh not found" errors in logs
- Service: min8n-production.up.railway.app
This appears to be a platform-level issue where Railway is injecting configurations that override my environment variables. I've spent days troubleshooting without success.
As a paying customer, I need immediate assistance to resolve this blocking issue.

hey, are you able to provide your entire logs? from what I can tell, getting bin/sh not found errors is an distroless image where railway cant exec a shell, which then also preverts the envs from being applied correctly. is your docker image for n8n showing as n8nio/n8n:latest?

never share url of your service, n8n admin user is not set, so anyone accessing your url can register as admin on your behalf, secure it ASAP.

why not using the stable template from railway templates in dashboard?
