2. Pre-Setup: Windows/MacOS

1. The setup guide is tested to work on Windows 10, Ubuntu 18.04 and macOS Mojave 10.14.6

2. For Windows and MacOS, create a folder.

3. Open a Powershell terminal, navigate to the newly created folder.

4. Go to Section 5: Setup.

4. Pre-Setup: Ubuntu

1. Open a terminal.

2. Create a user called frappe. (You can give a name of your preference to replace frappe)

   • sudo adduser frappe

3. You may be promted to give a password for the newly created user frappe. Remember this password, you will need it for the next step.

4. Log into the user frappe

   • su - frappe

5. Create a folder called frappe_docker. Again, folder name is of your preference. Navigate into the new directory.

   • mkdir frappe_docker
   • cd frappe_docker

6. Go to Section 5: Setup.

5. Setup

1. Clone this repo.

   • git clone https://github.com/msf4-0/ERPNext-LGM

2. Navigate to the cloned folder.

   • cd ERPNext-LGM

3. In enx-example, you can change the variables that would be used in this installation process to your preference such as the following:

   • Server port to host ERPNext,ERPNEXT_SERVER_PORT. Default is 8000.
   • Database port,MARIADB_SERVER_PORT. Default is 3306.
   • Site name SITE_NAME. Default is custom-erpnext-nginx.

   Note:

   • You can leave these variables as it's provided if all the specified ports are not occupied.
   • Upon successful setup, you can access ERPNext via port number ERPNEXT_SERVER_PORT.
   • For Metabase Integration, you would need to connect to Mariadb via MARIADB_SERVER_PORT.

4. Copy environment variables from the env-example file into .env file using this command cp env-example .env.

5. Start all the docker containers by this command docker-compose -p <project_name> up -d.

   Note:

   • Replace <project_name> to your preference.
   • For example, docker-compose -p project1 up -d

6. Monitor the site creation progress by logging into the <project_name>-site-creator-1 container. To do this step, use this command docker logs <project_name>-site-creator-1 -f.

7. After the <project_name>-site-creator-1 container display Scheduler is disabled, login to <project_name>-erpnext-python-1 container. Use docker exec -it --user root <project_name>-erpnext-python-1 /bin/bash to login into this container as a root user.

8. Once you login in into <project_name>-erpnext-python-1 container, by default, you will be in the ~:/home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites directory. Navigate out to ~:/home/frappe/frappe-bench directory by typing cd ...

9. Now, apply the new changes in Frepple app by running this command bench --site <site_name> migrate.

   Note:

   • Replace <site_name> to the same name as specified in the .env file. Refer to step 3 and 4.
   • For example, bench --site custom-erpnext-nginx migrate

10. After the process Compiling Python files... is finished, you will be back in the ~:/home/frappe/frappe-bench directory. This means the bench migrate process is completed. Type exit to exit from <project_name>-erpnext-python-1 container.

11. Now, you can open any browser such as Google Chrome and access ERPNext via http://localhost:<ERPNext_Server_Port> or http://<Your_IP_address>:<ERPNext_Server_Port>.

    Note:

    • Type the selected ERPNext port number in <ERPNext_Server_Port> selected in step 4.
    • For example, http://localhost:8000 or http://127.0.0.1:8000.

12. Default credentials.

    • Username: Administrator
    • Password: admin

6. Stopping Docker Containers

1. To stop all the docker containers related to your <project-name> project:
   • Open a Powershell terminal, navigate to ERPNext-LGM folder.
   • Run docker-compose -p <project-name> stop.
   • For example, docker-compose -p project1 stop.

7. Starting Docker Containers

1. To start up all the docker containers related to your <project-name> project:
   • Open a Powershell terminal, navigate to ERPNext-LGM folder.
   • Run docker-compose -p <project-name> start.
   • For example, docker-compose -p project1 start.

8. Deleting Docker Containers

1. To remove all the docker containers related to your <project-name> project:
   • Open a Powershell terminal, navigate to ERPNext-LGM folder.
   • Run docker-compose -p <project-name> down or run docker-compose -p <project-name> down -v to remove the related Docker Volume.
   • For example, docker-compose -p project1 down -v

1. Assumptions:
   1. You have a running instance of ERPNext in docker production container.
2. How to update custom app

Backup

1. Assumptions:
   1. You have a running instance of ERPNext in docker production container.
2. Alternatives:
   1. Online Backup (Automatic)
   2. Local Backup (Manual)
   3. Local Backup (Automatic)

Restore

1. Assumptions:
   1. You have your backup files on your pc (if you perform online backup, you can download the backup files onto your pc).
   2. You have a running instance of ERPNext in docker production container in which you want to restore with the backup files.
2. Restore

For Developer

• Reference: Customizing your own shrdc custom frappe docker

1. Introduction

• Fork this repo to build your own image with ERPNext and list of custom Frappe apps.
• Change nginx/Dockerfile and add required apps. Refer comments in the file.
• Change worker/Dockerfile and add required apps.

Example file uses following apps:

• Metabase Integration
• Telegram Integration
• Enhanced Frepple Integration
• Barcode Scanning System
• Autocount
• SQL Account

2. Build images

Execute from root of app repo.

For nginx:

# For version-12
docker build --build-arg=FRAPPE_BRANCH=version-12 --build-arg=GITHUB_OWNER=<github-username> -t custom-erpnext-nginx:v12 nginx

# Example:
docker build --build-arg=FRAPPE_BRANCH=version-12 --build-arg=GITHUB_OWNER=msf4-0 -t custom-erpnext-nginx:version-12 nginx

For worker:

# For version-12
docker build --build-arg=FRAPPE_BRANCH=version-12 --build-arg=GITHUB_OWNER=<github-username> -t custom-erpnext-worker:version-12 worker

# Example:
docker build --build-arg=FRAPPE_BRANCH=version-12 --build-arg=GITHUB_OWNER=msf4-0 -t custom-erpnext-worker:version-12 worker

3. Push images to Docker Hub

1. Tag the images bulilt from Step 2 with the format: docker tag <Image Name>:<Version> <Docker Hub Username>/<Image Name>:<Version>

For nginx:

docker tag custom-erpnext-nginx:version-12 shrdc/custom-erpnext-nginx:version-12

For worker:

docker tag custom-erpnext-worker:version-12 shrdc/custom-erpnext-worker:version-12

Reference: Steps to create a Docker Hub, and push images to it.

2. To push to Docker Hub, run docker push with the tagged name created before.

docker push shrdc/custom-erpnext-nginx:version-12
docker push shrdc/custom-erpnext-worker:version-12

3. Possible troubleshoot: When you face denied: requested access to the resource is denied when pushing images, run docker login and enter your credentials. Then push image again.

4. (Optional) Configure env-example

1. You may need to change the DOCKER_USERNAME in env-example to the username of the Docker Hub account in which you have pushed your images to.
2. Copy env-example into .env by running cp env-example .env.

5. Start up

1. The following commands should be executed on the ~/some/path/ERPNext-LGM directory
2. docker-compose -p <project_name> up -d
3. docker logs <project_name>_site-creator_1 -f
4. After the site_creator container exited, open a browser, you can access ERPNext on localhost:8000 or 127.0.0.1:8000.
5. You can push the changes back to this repo (or your own repo if you forked one from this repo).
