Если у вас уже есть внешний reverse proxy (например, Nginx Proxy Manager), используйте упрощенный docker-compose.yml:

services:
  n8n:
    image: n8nio/n8n:latest
    env_file:
      - .env
    container_name: n8n
    restart: always
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Moscow
      - N8N_HOST=n8n.example.com
      - WEBHOOK_URL=https://n8n.example.com
      - N8N_PROXY_HOPS=1
      - N8N_SECURE_COOKIE=false
      - N8N_EXPERIMENTAL_CHAT=true
      - N8N_ENABLE_COMMUNITY_NODES=true
      - N8N_ALLOW_SUPERDANGEROUS_EXECUTION=true
