✅ Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

Yes

📜 What is the name of the script you are using?

ct/n8n.sh

📂 What was the exact command used to execute the script?

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/n8n.sh)"

⚙️ What settings are you using?

  • Default Settings
  • Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Debian 12

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

During npm update -g n8n, the install fails due to a ENOTEMPTY error while renaming the n8n module directory. This happens at the final step of the script execution (line 38).

This issue seems to be caused by leftover temp folders (e.g., .n8n-*) in /usr/lib/node_modules — possibly from a prior interrupted install or npm permission issue.

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

🔄 Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run the script with default settings
  2. Wait for npm update -g n8n to begin
  3. Encounter failure with rename error

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

Can you try following:

npm uninstall -g n8n
npm install -g n8n

or this one:

rm -rf /usr/lib/node_modules/.n8n-* /usr/lib/node_modules/n8n
npm install -g n8n --force

so all userdata are exist?
