Can't find gst fields in erpnext

skad · April 30, 2023, 8:17pm

I don’t know anything about erpnext but I am trying to see how it is and how I can use it, so I installed the free version using the easy method stated on the github, but I don’t see fields like gstno and such in the customer adding forms, so I googled around and found India compliance github which stated that I could install it with bench cli, but bench cli isn’t available on windows so how do I add India Compliance to my erp?

This guide may help:

github.com

frappe/frappe_docker/blob/main/docs/custom-apps.md

### Clone frappe_docker and switch directory

```shell
git clone https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker
cd frappe_docker
```

### Load custom apps through json

`apps.json` needs to be passed in as build arg environment variable.

```shell
export APPS_JSON='[
  {
    "url": "https://github.com/frappe/payments",
    "branch": "develop"
  },
  {
    "url": "https://github.com/frappe/erpnext",
    "branch": "version-14"

This is an example repo with India Compliance:

I’m sorry I don’t understand anything that’s being said there, I haven’t even started to look much into learning erpnext because I don’t know how simple and easy it’s going to be to get the basic stuff I want done, is there a simple guide or something to help me put in this India compliance into my erpnext so that I can start to figure stuff out?

If you want to just test it out without wasting time on installation, Frappe Cloud is the best option:

They provide free credits worth 25 USD once you sign up.

I’m afraid you’ll need some familiarity with Docker and using the CLI for adding new apps to it

skad · May 2, 2023, 10:32am

Cli doesn’t work on windows though does it?

zeeeeeeeero · May 2, 2023, 10:46am

The setup script you’re using runs it through docker containers and you can run the CLI from inside the container. But you also can’t add new apps from inside the container. So you’ll need to make your own image based on the image your script uses and run that

Could not understand this guide at all, just wanted to try and install india compliance on my offline version and not give card details but doesn’t seem like I can do it without some complete video guide or something, this one is just expecting me to have known everything already, I guess I can ask you to link a simpler guide on what to do if at all possible but thanks anyways

Your issue is more related to installation using Docker than the GST fields not being visible.

Its recommend checking out other posts and articles already available on the forum for detailed installation instructions using Docker.

https://discuss.frappe.io/search?q=docker%20custom%20app

That being said, if you’re interested in quickly testing out the application, its still recommend using Frappe Cloud. While it does require card details, this is simply to ensure that the free service is not abused.

zeeeeeeeero · May 4, 2023, 7:20am

Better use Frappe Cloud like the others suggested then(easiest option). But if you’re at least somewhat comfortable with using CLI I can guide you through adding the custom app

skad · May 4, 2023, 8:01am

I mean I can if someone can tell me the complete steps, I am somewhat familiar with cli as well, but if erpnext is not meant to be used by mom and pop shops and made for tech stuff only then i guess I won’t do it, but It would be great if you could guide me

zeeeeeeeero · May 4, 2023, 8:57am

You’ll need Linux or enable WSL2 on Windows to build the image with new apps

skad · May 4, 2023, 9:46am

I already have it, if you can write the next steps I’ll try to do it a few hours later when I get to do it

zeeeeeeeero · May 4, 2023, 3:47pm

Try and get this working. Then we can modify some steps to use a custom image

github.com

frappe/frappe_docker/blob/main/docs/single-server-example.md

### Single Server Example

In this use case we have a single server with a static IP attached to it. It can be used in scenarios where one powerful VM has multiple benches and applications or one entry level VM with single site. For single bench, single site setup follow only up to the point where first bench and first site is added. If you choose this setup you can only scale vertically. If you need to scale horizontally you'll need to backup the sites and restore them on to cluster setup.

We will setup the following:

- Install docker and docker compose v2 on linux server.
- Install traefik service for internal load balancer and letsencrypt.
- Install MariaDB with containers.
- Setup project called `erpnext-one` and create sites `one.example.com` and `two.example.com` in the project.
- Setup project called `erpnext-two` and create sites `three.example.com` and `four.example.com` in the project.

Explanation:

Single instance of **Traefik** will be installed and act as internal loadbalancer for multiple benches and sites hosted on the server. It can also load balance other applications along with frappe benches, e.g. wordpress, metabase, etc. We only expose the ports `80` and `443` once with this instance of traefik. Traefik will also take care of letsencrypt automation for all sites installed on the server. _Why choose Traefik over Nginx Proxy Manager?_ Traefik doesn't need additional DB service and can store certificates in a json file in a volume.

Single instance of **MariaDB** will be installed and act as database service for all the benches/projects installed on the server.

Each instance of ERPNext project (bench) will have its own redis, socketio, gunicorn, nginx, workers and scheduler. It will connect to internal MariaDB by connecting to MariaDB network. It will expose sites to public through Traefik by connecting to Traefik network.

I’m stuck at this step can you help? From what I read I think its something about not having linked DNS to the IP or something idk if that’s the issue and how to solve that if it is

zeeeeeeeero · May 5, 2023, 2:59am

You can set something in your hosts file locally but this is not that. I think this means you do not have permission to run docker. Try looking up what “groups” your user is under. And if it’s not under the docker group add your user to it.

skad · May 6, 2023, 7:06pm

did everything correctly but now i dont know how to access the site I created, also the tutorial you sent asked me to make so many sites and passwords, I don’t really understand what app does what and I was told to enter a website for traefik and then another site in place of example site, neither of them were directly accessible though.

pra17shant · May 7, 2023, 3:19am

@skad if you beginner then dont jump to directly docker concept go simple linux manual installation steps.
you can make virtual box Ubuntu server os and install it and access throw ssh console using powershell in windows in local host.

and fire manual installation steps one by one

You don’t need to bother about traefik for now. And you can use just one site. You can access the site by making a hosts file entry for it to 127.0.0.1 in Windows’ hosts file. And then just typing the name in your browser

skad · May 7, 2023, 7:51am

So just make a hosts entry for the ip and then use the website name I used instead of one.example.com right? Also do I have to deploy everything everytime I want to start erpnext?
