How can I configure a valid Pushbullet OAuth redirect URI for Dockerized n8n?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I installed n8n in a Docker container on my Synology NAS and set it up on my own domain using custom DNS and a reverse proxy. I access the service at https://n8n.mydomain.tld for all my containers.

I then created an OAuth client in Pushbullet and added the credentials in n8n, which generated the callback URL:

PYTHON
http://localhost:5678/rest/oauth2-credential/callback

However, since I’m accessing the service from my PC browser, using localhost for redirection fails.

I changed the callback URL to:

PYTHON
https://n8n.mydomain.tld/rest/oauth2-credential/callback

(added a space in the description to avoid spam issues), but granting access now returns the error “The param ‘redirect_uri’ has an invalid value.” I confirmed that the URL works directly, and even testing using http (with my reverse proxy redirecting to https) or an ipaddress:port variant does not solve the issue.

I’m at a loss as to what further steps to take to obtain a functional redirect URI. Any help would be appreciated!

It sounds like n8n is still generating the callback URL based on its default internal URL, which uses localhost. When running behind a reverse proxy, you need to manually override the webhook URL that n8n uses so it correctly generates public URLs including the OAuth callback.

Solution: Set the WEBHOOK_URL Environment Variable

In your Docker container (or Docker Compose file), set the environment variable WEBHOOK_URL to your public URL. For example:

BASH
export WEBHOOK_URL=https://n8n.mydomain.tld/

If you’re using Docker Compose, your n8n service might look like this:

YAML
services: n8n: image: docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n environment: - WEBHOOK_URL=https://n8n.mydomain.tld/ - N8N_HOST=n8n.mydomain.tld - N8N_PORT=5678 - N8N_PROTOCOL=https ports: - "5678:5678"

After making this change, restart your container so that n8n starts generating webhook URLs (including the OAuth callback) using your public URL. This should allow Pushbullet’s OAuth flow to use the correct callback (https://n8n.mydomain.tld/rest/oauth2-credential/callback) without error.

Additional Tip:
Ensure that the callback URL you register in the Pushbullet OAuth client exactly matches the URL generated by n8n (including the trailing slash if needed) to avoid mismatches.

Following these steps should resolve the “invalid redirect_uri” error you’re encountering.
