I have a freshly deployed n8n, after logging to admin when I try to start a workflow (error fetching workflows, problem saving workflows - Unauthorized) or try to start testing an incoming webhook I got an error message (Problem running workflow Lost Connection to the server). I didn’t change any configuration that could cause these difficulties, what should I do now? Can someone help me out with this or tho give a clue what I should do next?

Hi there,
As per the n8n 1-Click Droplet setup instructions here, did you create an A record like n8n.mycompany.com pointing to your Droplet’s public IP?
Also did you connect to the Droplet via SSH or the Console button to complete the console-based setup wizard?
If you’ve already done all that, check if the container is running and review the logs:
docker ps
docker logs n8n
Then try restarting the container:
docker restart n8n
For a full walkthrough, you might want to refer to the official n8n setup guide here: https://docs.n8n.io/hosting/installation/server-setups/digital-ocean/#configure-n8n
Let me know how it goes!
