I will fix n8n code nodes stuck running on your hostinger vps after upgrade


About this gig
Stuck on old n8n because your database is MySQL or MariaDB?
Upgrading to n8n 2.x with MySQL is a full migration project. Until you migrate, youre stuck on older, less secure versions.
I handle it safely:
Full backup of your database, data and encryption key
Migrate your workflows, credentials and settings to Postgres
Verify everything matches before switching over
Upgrade to the latest stable n8n 2.x
Test your workflows end to end
Rollback plan, just in case
Send me your n8n version, database type and number of workflows.

FAQ
Why are Code nodes stuck on "Execution is running" on Hostinger VPS?
n8n 2.x delegates code execution to external task runners. On Hostinger VPS setups, upgrading n8n without updating the Docker Compose architecture causes task requests to hang or time out indefinitely.
Will fixing this affect my existing Hostinger workflows?
No. I back up your n8n SQLite/Postgres database, execution history, and N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY before modifying container configurations, ensuring your workflows remain completely intact.
Can you fix both JavaScript and Python Code node hangs?
Yes. I reconfigure internal/external task runner sidecars, fix host execution variables, and adjust container resource permissions on Hostinger so both JS and Python nodes execute reliably.
What do you need to start the fix on Hostinger?
I need temporary SSH access or Hostinger hPanel credentials. If preferred, we can also perform the repair via a live screen-share session.
