Issues with n8n Deployment on Railway (Webhook and Postgres Errors)

Hello Railway Support,

I’m hosting an n8n instance on Railway, and I’ve been running into recurring errors in the logs. Please see the attached screenshots for reference.

The main issues I’m seeing are:

  1. Webhook errors

    Received request for unknown webhook: 
    404 The requested webhook "POST <UUID>/webhook" is not registered.
    

    These keep repeating, even though I haven’t configured those webhooks explicitly.

  2. Postgres checkpoint messages

    LOG: checkpoint complete: write XX buffers (...) 
    

    These are very frequent and I’m not sure if they’re expected or a sign of a misconfiguration with the Railway Postgres add-on.

Because of these issues, some workflows in n8n are not triggering as expected.

Could you please help me understand:

  • Why these webhook errors are happening and how I can resolve them?

  • Whether the Postgres checkpoint logs are normal on Railway or if something needs to be adjusted in my setup?

Thank you very much for your support!

Can you please help me improve the architecture?


This is N8N specific, and not related to Railway, so the amount of support we can offer is limited. With that in mind, it looks like your N8N service has been redeployed more recently than the other services. That could cause the webhook to be deleted, and thus it's not available from your other services.

You can try to set the following Variable on the service in Railway:

N8N_SKIP_WEBHOOK_DEREGISTRATION_SHUTDOWN = true

Once you've set it, Redeploy your services and reconnect the webhook.
