Execute Command node disappears from n8n and old workflows fail to load it after 2.0

Execute Command node missing from the nodes panel

Verified 2026-10-15 · Confirmed by 0 builders · Trust 50/100

Cause

n8n 2.0 excludes ExecuteCommand and LocalFileTrigger by default through NODES_EXCLUDE.

Fix

Re-enable only what you need by setting NODES_EXCLUDE to a list without those nodes, or to an empty list to allow all.

Apply

NODES_EXCLUDE="[]"

Affects: Self-hosted n8n 2.0 and later
