Local ai installation not succesful

The docker containers installed mostly, except the n8n containers.
I stuck with this error:

(node:7) Warning: Error
2025-01-24 21:31:40 module: @oclif/core@4.0.7

what stupid mistake did I do?

forgot to copy the .env file
I tried again to call docker compose, now ollama container an n8n containers are in an endless loop restarting.

is there hope for me?

SOLVED
I 've deleted all containers and started again an it worked.
But it needs some patient until all containers have finished there initial duties.

so happy to finish installation and now starting with the real thing
