ERPNext Docker Image as an alternative to Official ERPNext Docker Repo

I know It’s a very late comment. But I don’t think that’s precisely the Idea of docker. Yes it offers to isolate things like that. Otherwise let’s just spin up a worker for every task is needed. Is just in my opinion overkill. I’m not an expert on Docker. But I have deployed many applications, and It tends to be pretty easy.

The frappe/frappe_docker repo is honestly a nightmare for what Docker represents. It spins I think 11 containers, and you have 3 docker-compose files. Go check any other ERP and you would see one simple compose file.

Odoo, Tryton, a simple docker-compose file and voila.

The workers execute the tasks the bench usually does, but using some python scripts. Like creating a new site, installing apps, etc. So what is the bench for and all It’s 1600 commits to date. If you’re not going to use it when deploying in docker?

Overall I think it’s very important for the product to be easily deployed, In opens the doors to new people. And drives adoption up.
