TL;DR

The issue might be related to the storage or caching of credentials in n8n, and checking the storage settings or clearing the cache could help resolve the empty credentials dropdown.

Guidance

  • Verify that the credentials are being saved correctly by checking the storage settings in n8n, specifically the storage section in the debug info.
  • Check if the manual setting in the storage section is set to true, which might be causing the issue.
  • Try clearing the cache or restarting the n8n instance to see if it resolves the issue.
  • Review the pruning settings to ensure that the credentials are not being deleted due to age or count limits.

Notes

The issue might be specific to the self-hosted setup or the version of n8n being used (2.17.8). The debug info provided shows a mix of PostgreSQL and SQLite databases, which could be a point of investigation.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try clearing the cache or restarting the n8n instance to see if it resolves the issue, as this is a non-invasive step that can help identify if the problem is related to caching or storage.
