Webhooks trigger from embedded CE

I have a customer using NextCloud which has embedded Windmill CE as their flow engine. We want to trigger some scripts in that instance from external services. But I did not see any way to get to a webhook trigger URL. The normal spots I would look for were not present. Maybe its because the version is old - 1.394? If I have the instance base URL - can I translate that into a standard windmill /api route? For example, in the WM in NextCloud, the path of the instance base URL is: index.php/apps/a...

Nested flows/scripts logs in main flow

When there is a flow which contains another flow or scripts then the nested one's logs don't show up in the main flow logs. Any way to show them?

Static Variables limited to entire flow

Hi Everyone, I have some static values which I want to use in multiple steps. But I don't see any way to initialise it once in the flow and use for all the steps. Currently, I have to set the static variables for every step. Is there a way to set any variable for the entire flow and use it in all the steps....

Is there a fixed schedule that kills job data after "Retention period in secs" has passed?

Since we're actively fighting excessively large JSONB args in our jobs, I have another question about retention. If we set retention period for the instance to 4 days, should we expect to see data for 2025-07-07? I assume that we shouldn't and the garbage collector just didn't have a chance to delete them yet. ...

Recommendation for Using a Private Git Repository as a Python Dependency

Hi everyone, I’m looking for best practices on how to use a private Git repository as a dependency in a Python project. The repository is secured either via password protection or SSH keys. What’s the recommended approach for adding the dependency to a script?...

Loading Custom Maps

I am a creator who wish to use this incredibly epic but newly found software to build a custom home trackihg system. I have tried and used almost all the Saas type builders, Retool, Appsmith, Buddibase etc. but then I found Windmill and I instantly liked it. I though, it would most likely the solutions to get passed all the poorly implemented custom widgets of the other platforms. I wondered why it is not way more popular, I dont think Appsmith can even compare with Windmill. I am experienced in advanced map apis in almost all languages, and the first thing I do is see how I can customize something like a Google maps or Mapbox maps in a custom widget, I just want client side js and data I can sent through. I draw some zones, paths, markers and icons on the maps. I though this should be easy, through a custom component. Until I clicked it and it says EE features only. My disappointment was a new low, and I realized why its not more popular. Would be a simple feature to implement but if it is made to deliberately stop one from doing something like this in the open-source tactic, this would be exactly the reason why it is not in the popularity of n8n, but it deserves to be. I do not have much hope, but is there anyway to make something like still work? For those who would say, just pay $60 or what a month, I genuinely cant, we live in South Africa, for a home project it is absolutely impossible....

Loading tab

Guys, I want to put a "loading" screen while the flow is activated, it takes a few seconds to finish, but I couldn't figure out how. Would I have to put a frontend script inside the flow to trigger the setTab before the main logic?

Equivalent of jenkins job script running via ssh on remote machine agent

With jenkins I have a deploy script for an app. I have an agent installed on prod server and when I run the job jenkins will ssh into the server and run the bash script. What is the windmill equivalent of that? I can't find any documentation on running scripts on the host machine or having worker that is an agent on a server, not in docker....

Am I expected to stop seeing subflow steps with lifetime.delete_after_use = true in the parent flow?

We are using Windmill 1.502.2. To avoid writing too much data unnecessarily to the DB disk, I enabled lifetime.delete_after_use for several steps of one of the subflows. Based on the description, however, I thought that I wouldn't even be able to see any args or results in these steps of the flow. I still can see them, which makes me wonder whether my expectation is correct. I assumed that maybe we should enable that in the parent flow instead, but editing a subflow's steps isn't possible. ...

Errors Deploying and Testing Scripts

Hello, I'm getting some internal windmill errors on both my prod and dev instances when trying to deploy and test scripts. The main error states "an endpoint requires a privilege that you do not have" when clicking on the Test button when a script is open. This is a recent error, Windmill was functioning fine last week. I am seeing this error in the logs on the servers, workers and indexer pods and wasn't sure if it was related : 2025-07-08T16:27:53.922014Z ERROR Could not receive notification, attempting to reconnect to pg listener target=windmill I attached a screenshot for reference...
