To support both HTTP requests and WebSocket traffic, we used Apache-style userdata include files in cPanel.<\/p>\n
We added the following:<\/p>\n
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> \nRewriteEngine on \nRewriteRule (.*) http:\/\/localhost:5678\/\\$1 [P,L] \nProxyPass \/ ws:\/\/localhost:5678\/ \n<\/IfModule>\n<\/pre>\nto \/etc\/apache2\/conf.d\/userdata\/ssl\/2_4\/n8examplecom\/proxy.conf<\/code> for the SSL configuration and to \/etc\/apache2\/conf.d\/userdata\/std\/2_4\/n8examplecom\/proxy.conf<\/code> for the non-SSL configuration.<\/p>\nThis configuration allows the domain to proxy regular traffic to the n8n container on localhost:5678, while also passing WebSocket connections correctly.<\/p>\n
Note<\/strong>: The backend target is always plain HTTP because SSL termination happens at the web-server level.<\/p>\nAfter saving the include files, we rebuilt and reloaded the web server configuration, like so:<\/p>\n
\/scripts\/buildhttpdconf\nsystemctl restart lsws\n<\/pre>\nDomain access<\/h2>\n
Once DNS, SSL, Docker, and proxy rules are all in place, you can visit the public domain at https:\/\/n8n.example.com<\/code>.<\/p>\nFrom there, register your account on the n8n instance and begin building workflows.<\/p>\n
Set up simple test workflow<\/h2>\n
To confirm that the reverse proxy and application are working properly, create a simple test workflow:<\/p>\n
\n- Receive a webhook request<\/li>\n
- Make an HTTP request to
api.ipify.org<\/code><\/li>\n- Return the detected IP address as JSON<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Webhook node<\/h3>\n
Use these two URLs:<\/p>\n
\n- Test URL<\/strong>:
https:\/\/n8n.example.com\/webhook-test\/test-api<\/code><\/li>\n- Production URL<\/strong>:
https:\/\/n8n.example.com\/webhook\/test-api<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSet the webhook response mode to Using \"Respond to Webhook\" node<\/code>.<\/p>\nHTTP Request node<\/h3>\n
Create an HTTP Request node with:<\/p>\n
\n- Method<\/strong>:
GET<\/code><\/li>\n- URL<\/strong>:
https:\/\/api.ipify.org?format=json<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThis endpoint returns a simple JSON response containing the requester IP address.<\/p>\n
Respond to Webhook node<\/h3>\n
Set the following:<\/p>\n
\n- Respond With<\/strong>:
JSON<\/code><\/li>\n- Response Body (Expression)<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
{ \n \"myIP\": \"{{$json.ip}}\" \n } \n<\/pre>\n![\"n8n](\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/n8n-02-1024x406.jpg\")
\nThe image above shows what the workflow looks like in the editor.<\/p>\n
Activate the workflow<\/h3>\n
Activate the workflow to validate the webhook.<\/p>\n
![\"n8n](\"https:\/\/lswp.store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/n8n-01.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
After activating the workflow, visiting the webhook URL in the browser should return a JSON response showing your IP address, like so:<\/p>\n
{\"myIP\": \"192.0.2.0\"}\n<\/pre>\nThis is a simple but useful validation test, because it confirms:<\/p>\n
\n- the domain is reachable<\/li>\n
- HTTPS is working<\/li>\n
- the reverse proxy is forwarding requests correctly<\/li>\n
- n8n is processing the workflow<\/li>\n
- the response is being returned properly through LiteSpeed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n
Running n8n on cPanel with LiteSpeed Enterprise and Docker is practical. With the right proxy configuration, it is possible to support both standard HTTP traffic and WebSocket connections cleanly, while keeping the service accessible over HTTPS on its own domain.<\/p>\n
If you are looking for a clean way to publish n8n on a LiteSpeed Enterprise server, this is a solid approach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
