ERPNext on ARM aarch64

williamjmorenor · July 24, 2021, 2:31pm

Hello, looks like the full stack to run Frappe/ERPNext on ARM servers in available:

Python
NodeJS
MariaDB
Redis
NGINX

And the install inscript looks like suport ARM 64.

https://github.com/frappe/bench/blob/develop/install.py#L163

Does any one have installed Frappe ERP/Next on a ARM VPS?

I am looking at AWS Graviton (Graviton de AWS – Amazon Web Services) or Oracle Ampere A1 (Ampere A1 Compute | Oracle).

Looks like now arm64 architecture can be built and pushed to the official docker hub repository.

enhancement no-issue-activity

When building arm64 images it would take more than couple of hours. Main reason, why it was very slow, pandas wheels were being build while docker image was being built. Looks like that issue is gone. I have managed to build frappe-nginx, frappe-worker, frappe-socketio, erpnext-nginx, erpnext-worker under half an hour, all 5 images combined. I have built the images from develop branches. I had to add one line in 2 dockerfiles, for the process to work. Because there are some smaller wheels are still being built while building images, so pip3 was required. I showed the lines that I added/modified below just to explain myself properly. **Dockerfile of frappe-worker** ```FROM python:3.7-slim-buster # Add non root user without password RUN useradd -ms /bin/bash frappe ARG GIT_REPO=https://github.com/frappe/frappe ARG GIT_BRANCH=develop ARG ARCH=amd64 ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1 ENV NVM_DIR=/home/frappe/.nvm ENV NODE_VERSION=14.17.0 ENV PATH="/home/frappe/.nvm/versions/node/v${NODE_VERSION}/bin/:${PATH}" # Install dependencies WORKDIR /home/frappe/frappe-bench RUN apt-get update -y && apt-get install \ # for frappe framework git \ mariadb-client \ postgresql-client \ gettext-base \ wget \ wait-for-it \ ####################### python3-pip \ ############ This is the line that I added ######################## # for PDF libjpeg62-turbo \ libx11-6 \ libxcb1 \ libxext6 \ libxrender1 \ libssl-dev \ fonts-cantarell \ xfonts-75dpi \ xfonts-base \ libxml2 \ libffi-dev \ libjpeg-dev \ zlib1g-dev \ # For psycopg2 libpq-dev \ # For arm64 python wheel builds gcc \ g++ -y \ # Detect arch, download and install wkhtmltox && if [ `uname -m` = 'aarch64' ]; then export ARCH=arm64; fi \ && if [ `uname -m` = 'x86_64' ]; then export ARCH=amd64; fi \ && wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/packaging/releases/download/0.12.6-1/wkhtmltox_0.12.6-1.buster_${ARCH}.deb \ && dpkg -i wkhtmltox_0.12.6-1.buster_${ARCH}.deb && rm wkhtmltox_0.12.6-1.buster_${ARCH}.deb \ && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh \ && chown -R frappe:frappe /home/frappe # Setup docker-entrypoint COPY build/common/worker/docker-entrypoint.sh /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh RUN ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh / # backwards compat USER frappe # Install nvm with node RUN bash install.sh \ && .

You can build and use arm64 images for docker

I was used this script.
System Oracal A1 ARM Ubuntu 18.04.

any Suggestion.

Jay_Patel · December 6, 2021, 10:49am

I want install ERPNext on ARM Based architecture. Have Any Script?

check this if it helps

Hi, try this and see if this helps you install it on arm64:

Step-by-step guide for installing an ERPNext server with a custom domain and two sites on Oracle using Ampere

Initial Server Setup: I’m utilizing a server with these specifications: 4 vCPUs, 24GB of RAM, and 100GB of disk storage. As of now, I’m only billed around $4.25 per month for storage.
Why Use Ampere Processor: The main reason for using Ampere processor is to cut down costs.
Learning Docker: As a Docker beginner, I found the guide, particularly helpful. The Single Server Example is comprehensive. Thanks @revant_one
Oracle Server Installation: If you are not sure how to proceed, you can use this video tutorial as a guide.
Opening Ports 80 and 443: Ports 80 and 443 need to be opened. Here’s a video tutorial if you need assistance with this.
Domain Configuration: I added these A records to my domain:
- traefik.example.com pointing to the server IP
- erpnext-one.example.com pointing to the server IP
- erpnext-two.example.com pointing to the server IP
Modifying Hosts File: I updated the /etc/hosts file to include the following hostnames:
- 192.168.205.11 traefik.example.com
- 192.168.205.11 erpnext-one.example.com
- 192.168.205.11 erpnext-two.example.com
Docker Installation: I used this guide to install Docker.
Adapting the Guide for ARM: There were some parts of the guide that needed to be adapted to work with ARM. I downloaded the ARM version of Docker Compose and installed it using the following command:

DOCKER_CONFIG=${DOCKER_CONFIG:-$HOME/.docker}
mkdir -p $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins
curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.19.0/docker-compose-linux-aarch64 -o $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose
chmod +x $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose

For more details, refer to the official Docker guide.

Traefik and MariaDB Installation: The installation of Traefik and MariaDB was straightforward.
ERPNext Installation: The Docker image is not compatible with ARM, so I had to manually build it. Here are the steps I followed:

I copied the Containerfile from frappe_docker/images/production/ to frappe_docker and renamed it to Dockerfile.
I ran the command docker build -t frappe/erpnext:v14.27.9 . to build the image. Note that the image version must match the variable in erpnext-one.env.
@revant_one I sincerely hope to have an official image available on Docker soon. I would greatly appreciate any support in achieving this. Thank you.

Cloudflare Configuration: If you’re using Cloudflare, remember to turn off the proxy for your DNS records, allowing Traefik to generate your SSL correctly. Once the site is configured, you can turn it back on.
Creating Persistent Volumes: If you’re interested in creating persistent volumes, refer to this guide.

I have covered the installation of ERPNext on ARM in this video. The installation uses docker for it.
