Different URL for Webhook in Cloudron

[firmansi]

@james Yes, this feature is highly necessary for our use case rather than just a convenience.

To give you an example, it works similarly to Typebot, where the domain for development and backend management is kept separate from the public-facing chat interface.

We see a similar need in n8n. When we build public-facing features like n8n Chat or Forms, keeping them on the same domain as the workflow development console creates a major limitation. As long as they share the same URL on Cloudron, we cannot fully utilize these public features natively for our users; our only workaround right now is embedding them (as an iframe).

Having full secondary domain support would allow us to host the admin console on one domain while securely serving the public forms and chats on another

Hello @firmansi

Thank you for explaining.
I will look into this next week.

[firmansi]

@james Is there any ETA plan for this addition in Cloudron?

[james]

Hello @firmansi
Unfortunately I can't give you a reliable ETA.
I might be able to look into this the coming week, but I can't promise anything.

[firmansi]

@james is there any plan to implement this?

@firmansi can you work around as a second n8n instance or another webhook provider?

[james]

Hello @firmansi
Sorry for the delay.
The Cloudron 10 release currently takes priority over new app features.

[firmansi]

@robi What do you mean another webhook provider?

[robi]

@firmansi like nocodb, it's a separate url, as another n8n instance would be as well.

@james @girish Out of curiosity I checked the current n8n package and this appears to be a small package-only change to satisfy @firmansi neeys. No Cloudron platform or custom nginx changes are required.

The implementation could be as simple as:

• Add "multiDomain": true to CloudronManifest.json
• Set N8N_EDITOR_BASE_URL to the primary CLOUDRON_APP_ORIGIN
• Let users select an alias with N8N_WEBHOOK_URL in /app/data/env.sh
• Preserve existing legacy WEBHOOK_URL overrides

One limitation: an alias exposes the whole n8n app, not only webhook paths. It nevertheless provides the requested separate canonical domain for forms, chat, and generated webhook URLs.

I can attach the ready patch here if helpful.

Hello @andreasdueren
Thanks for the input.
I have tested this and what you have stated is indeed correct.

So yes we can add this feature, but the alias will still redirect to n8n itself.
If that is okay, I can create an app update for N8N.
