"- My n8n service won't start up, returning a 503 error: 'Database is not ready!'

  • The PostgreSQL database has crashed and cannot recover

  • Error message in logs: 'could not write to file pg_wal/xlogtemp.25: No space left on device'

  • Additional errors: 'database system was interrupted while in recovery', 'This probably means that some data is corrupted'

  • Important workflows are stored in the n8n database that I need to recover

  • I've restarted both services multiple times, but the error persists

  • The PostgreSQL service keeps crashing (CRASHED status)"

Hello,

You needed to grow the Volume on the Postgres service, I've gone ahead and done this for you.

Everything looks good now!

Best,
Brody
