🚀 n8n v2.8.3 with Fixed Python Support for Render.com

This repository provides a custom, production-ready Docker image for n8n v2.8.3 that fixes the "Virtual environment is missing" and "insufficient permissions" errors specifically on Render.com.

🛠️ The Fix (Internal Task Runner)

The official n8n Docker image for 2.8.3 is missing the Python Task Runner source code, and Render's security policy (noexec on /tmp) blocks default execution.

This repo fixes it by:

• Code Injection: Cloning the missing @n8n/task-runner-python source directly into the image.
• Dependency Fix: Pre-installing websockets (missing in original runner) and common ETL libs (pandas, numpy, requests, beautifulsoup4).
• Permission Bypass: Redirecting the runner to /tmp/n8n_runner with full ownership for the node user.

📸 Proof it Works

Success! Python Code Node executing with external libraries on Render.

🚀 One-Click Installation

1. Click the Deploy to Render button above.
2. Select Starter plan (required for Disk persistence).
3. Set your WEBHOOK_URL (the URL Render gives you).
4. Done! Python nodes will work out of the box.

📦 Pre-installed Python Packages

• pandas & numpy (Data Processing)
• requests (API interaction)
• beautifulsoup4 (Scraping)
• openpyxl (Excel support)
• websockets (Core requirement)

🔧 Why use this instead of official image?

The official image throws an Attempt to read execution was blocked due to insufficient permissions error on Render. This happens because the runner fails to start due to missing files in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@n8n/. We've reverse-engineered the path traversal and restored the environment.
