n8n is using port 5678

Hey, you're understanding a few things wrong about Nginx. Nginx Proxy Manager will route your traffic based on the domain you selected, so if you chose that Railway domain, you'll need to acess it without the port.

In your setup, Nginx will route all traffic coming to your 80/443 port (http or https) and then decides on how to route it to your n8n instance

also quick question, why are you using Nginx Proxy Manager?

if i didnt specify a port it redirects me to nginx proxy manager ui

i used nginx, it works fine, but i dont want to miss with conf files, so i decided to give nginx proxy manager a shot

but still, why are you using Nginx? If you want a n8n instance, Nginx is not necessary

i need to restrict my ip address

you want to restrict access to your n8n instance only to yourself?

yes

if yes, then I would recommend setting up Tailscale instead
https://docs.railway.com/tutorials/set-up-a-tailscale-subnet-router
it's basically a VPN to your project

but anyway, if you still want to continue with Nginx Proxy Manager let me know

is it free?

yep

i am trying it, i will contact u if anything went wrong

thanks

no problem, also do a quick read on private networking
https://docs.railway.com/guides/private-networking

Tailscale will basically create a bridge to your project's private networking letting you access it

tailscale installation curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh should be on my local machine or railway service?

You'll need to install on both Railway and your local machine.

on the docs I mentioned there's the steps for Railway

i installed it on my machine, but i get this on railway n8n instance

that's the wrong steps of doing it, on your Railway project (a project is the group of services) you'll need to follow these steps
https://docs.railway.com/tutorials/set-up-a-tailscale-subnet-router#1-getting-an-auth-key

basically after installing on your local machine, setting up an account and etc, follow the Railway docs mentioned above

yeah yeah read the docs first, my bad

i did the steps in the guide, now how to access the n8n dashboard? ping doesnt connect to the service!!

try sudo tailscale up

ping is running, but cant access n8n in browser

try http://n8n.railway.interval:5678

if u need my project id, i will suplly it here

It seems like your PC/browser (likely a Linux issue) is unable to detect the Tailscale DNS. I'm not very experienced with this error, and the most I can do is share this tutorial: https://medium.com/@gladevise/dns-resolution-issue-on-ubuntu-20-04-with-tailscale-53c4e6ddeccb If you want to go back to using Nginx Proxy Manager instead, I would be able to help with that. Sorry about this issue - I've never encountered problems with Tailscale before.

well, i dont want to miss with my network settings. i will try to figure out how to configure nginx proxy manager. i will reach to u if i am stuck at some point
