Describe the problem/error/question

I have a Self Hosted N8N on Digital Ocean inside a Droplet.

My Installation was always stable until version n8n:2.15.1 (Stable).

For any update after that version I am getting this error which is fluctuating every second : Connection Lost

So I am obliged to always roll back to version n8n:2.15.1

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be resolved by investigating the changes introduced in n8n version 2.15.1 and later, which may be causing the "Connection Lost" error.

Guidance

  • Review the n8n changelog for versions after 2.15.1 to identify potential breaking changes or updates that could be causing the issue.
  • Check the Digital Ocean Droplet configuration and resources (e.g., memory, CPU) to ensure they are sufficient for the updated n8n version.
  • Test the updated n8n version with a minimal workflow to isolate the issue and determine if it's related to a specific node or configuration.
  • Consider reaching out to the n8n community or support for further assistance, as the issue may be specific to the enterprise license or production environment.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is related to a version update and configuration rather than a specific code error.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the combination of n8n version, Digital Ocean Droplet, and enterprise license, making it challenging to provide a definitive solution without further investigation.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Roll back to version n8n:2.15.1 until the root cause of the issue is identified and a fix is available, as this version is known to be stable.
