OK; here’s the situation. I downloaded and installed ERPNext in a Virtual Box environment on my laptop, primarily to do accounting functions for my one man business (that’s me). All OK. I then decided that I would like the service to be in the cloud (I keep all my other data in the Cloud) so I coul…

HI guys, penny finally dropped. The way Google Cloud works is that the resources are managed from a separate instance running Cloudshell, which points to the server. So, when I was looking for frappe, I was looking on the instance running Cloudshell, not the instance running Frappe. You can login to…

I have no experience in GCP but regarding the location your frappe and erpnext folders which hold the Github code are in apps folder which is under the frappe-bench folder. does this VM migration shift the entire filesystem to the cloud - in that case it will be exactly where you installed it in y…

Thanks for replying. I’m not sure whether the entire filesystem is migrated; I can’t find frappe-bench either.

hmm there is a folder by your name try cd mike_duncombe and run ls command again. What do you get ?

Nothing very helpful, I’m afraid: mike_duncombe@cloudshell:/home (elegant-weaver-203910)$ cd mike_duncombe mike_duncombe@cloudshell:~ (elegant-weaver-203910)$ ls -a . … .bash_history .bash_logout .bashrc .config .docker .lesshst myoutput .orion .profile README-cloudshell.txt .ssh tem…

I’ve used GCP and it’s usually set up as described here, assuming you’ve done the easy install.
