Docker setup - getting custom app into container

Frappe Framework
,
#1

Hi,

I manage to get frappe/erpnext installed with using the docs found at GitHub - frappe/frappe_docker: Docker images for production and development setups of the Frappe framework and ERPNext

I used the standard .env file with below compose command

|-------------------------------------------------
git clone GitHub - frappe/frappe_docker: Docker images for production and development setups of the Frappe framework and ERPNext
cd frappe_docker
cp .\example.env .env

docker compose -f compose.yaml -f overrides/compose.erpnext.yaml -f overrides/compose.mariadb.yaml -f overrides/compose.redis.yaml -f overrides/compose.noproxy.yaml config > ~/gitops/docker-compose.yml

docker compose --project-name pema -f ~/gitops/docker-compose.yml up -d
------------------------------------------------------|
I also manage to get the containers up and was able to restore backups from production site

this obviously put the site on “Internal Server Error” with logs showing below from the backend container:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:,

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘trader’,

now I am trying to add my customer app to the container and this is where im stuck.

I tried to copy the app after cloning to local and copying it over to the container /home/frappe/frappe-bench/app folder

running bench --site mysite.co.za install-app trader
I get error that the app is not found

so then I tried to get through the steps from frappe_docker/custom_app at main · frappe/frappe_docker · GitHub

I copied the files to the local app folder and updated the files as shown below:

frontend.Dockerfile →

ARG FRAPPE_VERSION
ARG ERPNEXT_VERSION

FROM frappe/assets-builder:${FRAPPE_VERSION} as assets

ARG APP_NAME
COPY ./apps/${APP_NAME} apps/${APP_NAME}
RUN install-app ${APP_NAME}

FROM frappe/erpnext-nginx:${ERPNEXT_VERSION}

COPY --from=assets /out /usr/share/nginx/html

backend.Dockerfile →

ARG ERPNEXT_VERSION
FROM frappe/erpnext-worker:${ERPNEXT_VERSION}

USER root

ARG APP_NAME
COPY . …/apps/${APP_NAME}

RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/pip
install-app ${APP_NAME}

USER frappe

docker-bake.hcl →

APP_NAME=“trader”

variable “FRAPPE_VERSION” {}
variable “ERPNEXT_VERSION” {}

}

target “backend” {
dockerfile = “backend.Dockerfile”
tags = [“trader/worker:latest”]
args = {

“APP_NAME” = APP_NAME
}
}

target “frontend” {
dockerfile = “frontend.Dockerfile”
tags = [“trader/nginx:latest”]
args = {
“FRAPPE_VERSION” = FRAPPE_VERSION
“ERPNEXT_VERSION” = ERPNEXT_VERSION
“APP_NAME” = APP_NAME
}
}

not sure where I went wrong, but after all this I need a lil more assistance getting a customer app into the container - any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance.

kind regards

Do you have the answer? I am having the same problem as you.

#3

Not sure about the exact problem here but I was able to setup ERPNext docker using my own custom images. Here is the simplified tutorial that you can use (Check readme): https://git.loniushealth.com/root/erp-docker-deploy

Edit the create-bench.yaml with your own images (frontend and backend)

to build custom images as mentioned in official docs refer this example repo GitHub - castlecraft/custom_frappe_docker

“Execute from root of app repo…”. Should I execute it in the project folder or in the app folder in the app’s package?

#6 
git clone https://github.com/castlecraft/custom_frappe_docker
cd custom_frappe_docker

Hi @revant_one

Thank you for the response

I tried the steps in the repo and sorry for my ignorance but after following the steps in the readme im getting the below error - not sure if I missed something in the install or config of docker. Im running docker desktop on windows wsl2 on an Ubuntu20

error: failed to solve: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to solve with frontend gateway.v0: failed to authorize: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = failed to fetch oauth token: Post “https://auth.docker.io/token”: dial tcp 44.207.51.64:443: i/o timeout

any assistance would be greatly appreciated…thank you in advance.

I don’t have windows setup

Do you have access to any search engine?

Searching for the error resulted in Failed to authorize: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = failed to fetch oauth token: unexpected status: 401 Unauthorized - #40 by jercle - General - Docker Community Forums

#9

Do you have a static IP?

#10

@revant_one - I did search as you suggested, and even tried the link you posted…followed the thinking and steps but still getting errors, It must be something to do with authorisation key - but ill continue to search.

@tdci - im on a dynamic IP

Ill probibly tied this on another machine as the office machine might have some restrictions, and start from fresh and scratch.

#11

did it work with you ?? am stuck at the same point

#12

Hi

No it did not… I left it at that and went back to my virtualbox vm…so currently still using that for now. Will try docker again when I have more time to play around with it.
