How to update N8N with this installation method? #3

Closed hunterxx222 closed 2 years ago

hunterxx222 commented 2 years ago

Could you please give a brief guideline on how to update N8N? I tried to find the N8N package in my DigitalOcean droplet but cannot find it. A few lines would help!

if you used this ansible script, then you can update n8n by ssh-ing into your box using your admin username (not root) and then running npm install -g n8n

for additional reference your home user directory will also contain the ecosystem.config.js which is the PM2 environment file.

using that file you can adjust the environment variables listed here n8n environment variables

pm2 list will list the node instances you have loaded on your system.

You can use the PM2 commands to stop start or restart your app

pm2 start 0
pm2 stop 0
pm2 restart 0

if you check in the hidden folder .n8n you will find the SQLite database and a config file with your generated encryption keys.

Let me know if that seems to help you navigate around your N8N instance.
