Update your n8n domain configuration<\/h2>
You can update the configuration by following these steps:<\/p>
- \n
- \n
Access your VPS through a web console:<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2026\/08\/2026-08-06_11-57.png\")
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Navigate to the container directory (replace [container-name] with your actual container’s name):<\/p>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\ncd \/docker\/[container-name]<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Edit the environment configuration file by running:<\/p>\n
nano .env<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n- Locate the TRAEFIK_HOST value and replace it with your own domain or subdomain that points to your VPS (e.g., sub.domain.com).<\/li>\n
- Save the file by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y, and Enter.<\/li>\n
- Open the docker-compose.yml file and make two changes:\n
- \n
- Change 1 — Fix the WEBHOOK_URL:\n
# Before\r\n- WEBHOOK_URL=https:\/\/${COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME}.${TRAEFIK_HOST}\/\r\n\r\n# After\r\n- WEBHOOK_URL=https:\/\/${TRAEFIK_HOST}\/<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n - Change 2 — Fix the Traefik router rule:\n
# Before\r\n- traefik.http.routers.${COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME}.rule=Host(`${COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME}.${TRAEFIK_HOST}`)\r\n\r\n# After\r\n- traefik.http.routers.${COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME}.rule=Host(`${TRAEFIK_HOST}`)<\/pre>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2026\/07\/2026-07-24_09-46-1.png\")
<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n - \n
Restart the n8n service to apply the changes:<\/pre>\n
docker compose down\r\ndocker compose up -d<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>Once restarted, you should be able to access n8n via your custom domain. Make sure DNS propagation is complete before testing the new address.<\/p>
