Changing domain

If you wish to use your own domain or subdomain to access the n8n web interface, you will need to log into the server via SSH as the root user and execute the command:

add_domain

You will be prompted to enter a domain or subdomain in the format subdomain.example.com.

note

Make sure that your domain exists and points to the IPv4 address of your server!

Once the command completes, a Let’s Encrypt certificate will be issued for the specified domain or subdomain, and the web interface will become accessible at https://example.com/, where example.com is the previously specified domain (subdomain).
