      Hi all 👋,

      I'm brand new to selfhosting Cloudron, but I have had a bit of fun running n8n locally. n8n is really powerful compared to similar tools I've tried in the past.

      My aim was to setup cloudron with n8n on a local server, to run all sorts of automations. I installed cloudron, got dns and account setup without too much trouble.

      When I try to install n8n from a fresh cloudron install, i get this error:
      "Not found: Unable to find container postgresql"

      Thinking I could just uninstall and try again, I get same error "Not found: Unable to find container postgresql" when trying to uninstall.

      So now I'm stuck.

      Any suggestions what to do from here is much appreciated?
      Also if you have any clues to why I got the postgresql error.

        @biozork I think (for some reason) the postgresql service is down. Can you go to Services and check status of postgresql ? Maybe give it a bit more memory using the configure button and restart the service ?

          @girish you are absolutely right.

          A restart of the service did the trick.

          Thanks for a lightning fast response 🙏

            @biozork In the screenshot, the sftp is also down. I wonder what's up! Are any other services down ?

              @girish sftp and mongodb was down.

              I restarted those and now they are up and running.

              Now I know I should keep an eye on those services and maybe assign more memory.

                In theory, one should get a notification when a service runs out of memory (the red indicator on the nav bar), but I have seen atleast one other one bug report that it's not reliable. Let me know if you don't see it either.

                  @girish I saw no red indicators on the nav bar. I guess that would have helped me towards the source of the problem. But I will keep an eye if a service gets into trouble again.
