If you want to use your own domain (or subdomain) for accessing n8n instead of the default srvXXXXX.hstgr.cloud address, you can update the configuration by following these steps:
First, please make sure that the n8n subdomain of your desired domain is correctly pointed to your VPS IP address using an A record in your DNS settings.
Access your VPS through a browser terminal:
Edit the environment configuration file by running:
nano .env
On the second line of the file, locate the domain entry (typically something like
srvXXXXX.hstgr.cloud) and replace it with your own domain that points to your VPS.
Save the file by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y, and Enter.
Restart the n8n service to apply the changes:
docker compose down
docker compose up -d
Once restarted, you should be able to access n8n via your custom domain. Make sure DNS propagation is complete before testing the new address.
