how is run with node index.js possible? #9

sutidor · 2019-08-19T15:13:00Z

Hey Jan,
how do I build the source and run it from node index.js? I want to deploy on plesk.

I tried a lot of things for hours but nothing seems to work. When I try to "build" via VS Code I get following error:
error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'jest'.
error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'node'.

Some operation I did got me the folder "dist" but even when I run that, there are errors.

Please help or give me a hint. Thanks Sven

Hello!

Sorry to hear that you have problems!

Do you have to build it from source? Can you not simply use the n8n npm package?

In case that is not possible you can simply follow the guide here:
https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#development-setup

To start it you can then also run instead of npm run start simply: node packages/cli/dist/index.js both do basically the same thing.

When you publish n8n on a webserver please make sure to secure it like descibed here:
https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/tree/master/packages/cli#securing-n8n

Hope that helps!

janober · 2019-08-19T18:55:46Z

Actually realize that the easier way of simply npm installing n8n did not work because it did not resolve the path to the editor-ui correctly. Fixed that bug now. So in case you do not have to build it yourself for some reason and you are happy with the currently released version you can now simply do this:

# Install n8n in the folder you want to run it from
npm install n8n

# Start it
node node_modules/n8n/dist/index.js

In case you still have problems simply get back to me.

For those who come after me... To get n8n working on (Debian) Plesk / node index.js the following steps must be taken:

(Versions used: Plesk 17.8.11 Update #64; Nodejs 12.4.0)

In Plesk

create new domain n8n.domain.tld
go to hosting settings and disable PHP and fast CGI

Optional Activate SSL

go to hosting settings and activate your SSL certificate (wildcard in my case) OR go to letsencrypt and get a cert n8n.domain.tld

if you havent already

Install node.js in tools and settings -> updates and upgrades
(there is a way to install latest nodejs manually and register it in plesk, just google that)

Optional use PostgreSQL

Install postgresql tools and settings -> updates and upgrades
Go to tools and settings -> database server and click on the grey circle to add an admin account and password to postgresql
Go to your n8n.domain.tld, add a database, connect it to your subscription

ssh to server

apt install build-essential
cd /var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/n8n.domain.tld/
npm init --yes
npm install n8n
#even though you may override it via environment variables, need to install sqlite3
npm install sqlite3 --save

fix permissions: find out correct permissions

to find out which permissions your other, working projects have, use
cd /var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/
ls -l
cd /var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/another.domain.tld/
ls -l

fix permissions: chown (notice -R in first for permissions in both folder and subfolders)

chown subscriptionuser:psacln -R /var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/n8n.domain.tld/
chown subscriptionuser:psaserv /var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/n8n.domain.tld/

Back to Plesk: Go to your domain n8n.domain.tld and adjust NodeJS Settings

Set the document-root and application-root to /var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/n8n.domain.tld/node_modules/n8n/bin
Set application startup file to n8n
Set custom environment variables as you please, for example

N8N_HOST=n8n.domain.tld
N8N_PROTOCOL=https
N8N_PORT=443
VUE_APP_URL_BASE_API=https://n8n.domain.tld/
N8N_BASIC_AUTH_ACTIVE=true
N8N_BASIC_AUTH_USER=
N8N_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=
DB_TYPE=postgresdb
DB_POSTGRESDB_DATABASE (default: 'n8n')
DB_POSTGRESDB_HOST (default: 'localhost')
DB_POSTGRESDB_PORT (default: 5432)
DB_POSTGRESDB_USER (default: 'root')
DB_POSTGRESDB_PASSWORD (default: empty)

nginx config

In order to receive all event callbacks in UI, you have to disable Proxymode.
Go to preferences for nginx and apache
disable "proxymode"

to update

cd /var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/
nano package.json
change
"dependencies": {
"n8n": "~0"
}
...otherwise it wont get updated.
npm update

sutidor · 2019-08-19T20:49:51Z

Jan, thanks for your quick advice. I will dive into n8n now.

2 more questions:
What are your recommended permissions for the installed files?
How to update n8n once there are new versions?

janober · 2019-08-20T05:17:33Z

Thanks a lot for taking the time to write up the Plesk guide for other people. Is really very appreciated. If it is OK with you I would use it as a base for a Plesk-Setup-Guide I would like to add to the project documentation.

About your questions:

Permissions: n8n does not write or change anything in its own folder. So theoretically only read access is needed, that means 400 should be enough. The only folder to which it writes to (on the initial start at least) is the ~/.n8n folder. There it keeps for example the secret to decode the credentials. It also keeps there the sqlite database file (in case it gets used, but not the case for you as you use Postgres).
Update: Simply running npm update in the folder should check for a new version and install it

janober · 2019-08-21T20:19:16Z

Closing this issue.

gabrieligbastos · 2019-09-03T13:36:54Z

is it possible to run it to develop/extend on Mac?

i followed:

npm install -g lerna

git clone {repo}

cd {repo}

lerna bootstrap --hoist

npm run build

all successfuly, except the build, with error (remember, i'm on Mac)

janober · 2019-09-03T13:39:58Z

Should also work on a mac. Not sure what the issue is right now but you are using a quite old version of node (v7.6.0). Never tested it with such an old version. I would recommend v10 or v12. Could you please try to upgrade node and then try again from the beginning?

gabrieligbastos · 2019-09-03T13:48:56Z

Oh right, thanks for your quickly response!
I will try it right now, just a doubt, i can ignore build-essential or tools, right? those are just for ubuntu or windows, right?

janober · 2019-09-03T13:53:00Z

No problem.
Not sure if you can really ignore them. Something equivalent does for sure also exist for MacOS (even though I have no idea how they are called) and without it, it will not work. Anyway the most people have that stuff already installed when they ever did develope other modules. So if you did, the chance is high that you already have it. I did just put it there to avoid problems I could think of that people could run into.

gabrieligbastos · 2019-09-03T13:54:45Z

oh, i see.
i said that because of this:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38086451/how-to-install-build-essential-on-mac

btw, i decided to run:
xcode-select --install

janober · 2019-09-03T14:01:39Z

It installs some things like c++ compiler, make and so on:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/build-essential

Was not aware that the inital purpose of the package was to create Debian packages. But that does actually not matter. n8n dependencies need it to build correctly (and probably the most larger projects on npm also). Actually also think Python is needed (which I thought was in build-essentials but I was wrong there). Anyway if that becomes a problem it will display you a new error message ;-) I keep my fingers crossed!

gabrieligbastos · 2019-09-03T14:10:09Z

oh, i see, thanks..
well, not built yet =(

any clue on this?

what version of python?
i have:
Python 2.7.10

janober · 2019-09-03T14:17:36Z

That message is actually a TypeScript error from some new code I pushed 2 days ago. I did fix it now. If you pull the code again (and so the fix) it should now work.

gabrieligbastos · 2019-09-03T14:29:09Z

Thanks very much

zmayyem · 2020-04-28T15:42:32Z

@sutidor Thx for your explination about installing n8n on plesk , but this is did'nt work for me

I use Plesk Obsidian 18 and debian I got serval error in the instllation process as well it did not work

Can you please explain how can install the lastetst version on plesk 18

Or if is it possible how to use it via the plesk docker manager ??

zmayyem · 2020-04-28T15:45:19Z

I dont have any idea on docker or , but I just want to install n8n on my VPS Server and point it to a subdomain managed By Plesk Panel , without loosing Plesk configuration Or My Other Domains

sutidor · 2020-04-28T18:34:29Z

Which error you got during installation? Maybe it does not have to do with Plesk

zmayyem · 2020-04-29T01:14:44Z

Hi @sutidor , I will explain you what I did exactly step by step
I have More than a week testing and repeat testing on fresh VPS and I did not success :(
I hope you help me and if you want I can give you the VPS Root Access to verify.

So I started from scratch by creating new VPS on Digitalocean.

1) I start by creating fresh Droplet (Debian 9 64bit).

2) I Installed New Plesk Obsidian 18.0 on the VPS. (Via SSH)

3) I added the main Domain (besthotelguides.com).

4) I Created subdomain (n8n.besthotelguides.com).

5) I Installed SSL on both Main Domain and Subdomain.

6) I Installed Nodejs from (Plesk tools->update->Add New Component).
Plesk 18 Already have the NodeJs v 12.4.0 Like you used on your documentation

7) I disabled PHP & FastCGI of the subdomain (n8n.besthotelguides.com.com)
from the subdomain Hosting Setting.

8) I created New MySql Database n8n (I pass the PostgreSql Installation because I try 5 Time
installing it and no Result , So I decide in the last try to use MySql, because I read that lastest version of n8n is compatible with MAriaDB/MySql)

9) Via SSH and folowing your documentation

9.1) cd /var/www/vhosts/besthotelguides.com/n8n.besthotelguides.com/

9.2) npm init --yes
here i got an error (-bash: npm: command not found)
So I fix it By Installing npm with those commands:
9.2.1) curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
9.2.2) apt-get update && sudo apt-get install yarn
9.2.3) apt-get install nodejs npm
9.2.4) npm -v and the result is 6.14.4. so here npm is installed.

Backing to the step 9.2 executing the command npm init --yes and the result is :

{
  "name": "n8n.example.com",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "description": ""
}

9.3) npm install n8n
After excuting this command this is the result

`npm WARN deprecated pg-promise@9.3.6: This version of pg-promise is obsolete. You should update to a newer version.

Hey guys! I know it's been a super long time, but I just stumbled upon this thread, and I am running n8n on a shared hosting (not cPanel, but very similar, it uses PassengerPhusion to manage node apps just like cPanel).

Steps :

Create domain and relevant DNS config from xPanel
Create new node app from xPanel :
a. Select domain
b. Select working directory for the app files
c. Startup file : node_modules/n8n/bin/n8n
Run npm init && npm install n8n inside the working directory (or create/update package.json with n8n as dependency and run install command from the UI)
Run the app
Enjoy!

In Plesk

Optional Activate SSL

if you havent already

Optional use PostgreSQL

ssh to server

fix permissions: find out correct permissions

fix permissions: chown (notice -R in first for permissions in both folder and subfolders)

Back to Plesk: Go to your domain n8n.domain.tld and adjust NodeJS Settings

nginx config

to update
