[n8n] feat: Make the compose reusable for a public webhook instance - #74
WEBHOOK_URL now comes from the required N8N_WEBHOOK_URL. Without it, n8n builds webhook URLs with :5678.
NODES_EXCLUDE now comes from N8N_NODES_EXCLUDE. It defaults to n8n's own defaults, with Execute Command and Local File Trigger disabled. An internal instance that runs git for the GitHub backups sets N8N_NODES_EXCLUDE=["n8n-nodes-base.localFileTrigger"] to keep Execute Command enabled.
README and .env.example document both modes, plus how to move an existing instance in (its encryptionKey and .n8n folder).
The same compose can then run an internal n8n and a separate public instance that only serves webhooks. The public one cannot execute commands.
Deployment notes
Set N8N_WEBHOOK_URL, and N8N_NODES_EXCLUDE where Execute Command is needed, in every deployment before merging, otherwise the deploy fails on the required variable.
docker compose config was checked with both settings and without N8N_WEBHOOK_URL, where it fails with a clear message.
- WEBHOOK_URL comes from the required N8N_WEBHOOK_URL (without it n8n
builds webhook URLs with :5678).
- NODES_EXCLUDE comes from N8N_NODES_EXCLUDE and defaults to n8n's own
defaults (Execute Command and Local File Trigger disabled). The
internal instance that runs git for the GitHub backups sets it to
keep Execute Command enabled.
- README: document both modes and how to move an existing instance in
(encryption key and .n8n folder).

Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Configure a public webhook URL for an n8n instance.
Choose which node types are excluded. By default, Execute Command and Local File Trigger are disabled; the exclusion list can be customized.
Documentation
Added guidance on safely configuring node access, using multiple instances, and moving an existing instance into the Compose setup.
The n8n Compose service now requires a public webhook URL and supports configurable node exclusions. The example environment file and README describe the settings, their defaults, and instance setup and migration requirements.
Changes: n8n Configuration and Deployment
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Webhook and node settings n8n/.env.example, n8n/docker-compose.yml, n8n/README.md
Compose requires N8N_WEBHOOK_URL and uses it for WEBHOOK_URL. N8N_NODES_EXCLUDE can override the default exclusions for Execute Command and Local File Trigger. The example environment file and README document these settings and the effects of enabling Execute Command.
Instance setup and migration n8n/README.md
The README describes using one Compose configuration for multiple environments. It also documents the encryption key and .n8n folder steps for moving an existing instance.
Address public owner setup, instance isolation, and migration safeguards before merging. Otherwise, following the new guidance can expose owner signup, replace an existing instance, prevent startup, or interrupt migrated workflows.

Consider inheriting n8n’s exclusion defaults.
If a future image changes its defaults, the fixed list will not follow them. Consider letting n8n apply its defaults when N8N_NODES_EXCLUDE is unset, while preserving explicit overrides.

the database, are owned by or accessible to UID 1000 with the required read and

- Around line 57-59: Update the migration guidance in the README to cover
webhook URLs when moving an n8n instance: explain how to keep the existing
public URL and routing, or update manually configured senders to the new URL and
verify delivery after migration. Preserve the existing encryption-key and

- Around line 57-59: Update the existing-instance migration instructions to tell
operators to stop the source n8n instance before copying its .n8n folder and
keep it stopped until the copy completes; retain the existing encryption key and
destination path requirements.
- Around line 57-59: Update the existing-instance migration guidance in the
README to cover PostgreSQL-backed instances: explain that copying the .n8n
folder and encryption key does not migrate workflows or credentials, and direct
users to n8n’s entity export and import instructions for transferring them.
- Around line 55-56: Update the README guidance for running multiple Compose
instances to require a distinct Compose project name, host port, and container
name for each instance; explain that the fixed container name `n8n` must be
changed so the instances do not replace or conflict with one another.
- Around line 55-56: Update the Docker Compose service used for the internal and
public instances so each can start on the same daemon without a fixed,
conflicting container name; make the name configurable per instance or let
Compose generate it, while preserving the ability to run instances with
different environments and ports.
- Around line 47-49: Update the public-exposure guidance for N8N_NODES_EXCLUDE
to instruct operators to initialize the owner over a private connection before
exposing the instance, and restrict access to the editor and setup routes,
including via the published port.
