Hello, I have a question how do i use your script to create the SSL later on (after its was finish) ?
Because i have a client where i need to start development but i don’t have access to the domain name !
Thanks you for script, it’s a time saver !
The easiest way i can tell you is to try to setup SSL when using the script to install even though you don’t have the domain pointed yet. Sure it will fail but the necessary packages for SSL activation would have been installed. Once you have the domain name set up and resolving to the server, all you need do is login to the server via ssh and run
sudo certbot --nginx
and follow the on-screen instructions to attempt the SSL activation. if your domain is resolving to the server then the SSL installation should be successful this time.

In case anyone is asking, the script has been updated to manage installation of 3 versions.

Hi @flexy2ky,
I came across your repo and i saw this. What does it do? gui for bench? like bench manager? …
@girumtibebu That’s work in progress. trying to develop a bench manager for deploying ERPNext to remote VPS. Still very much in the early stages of development so i don’t recommend trying it out yet.

That’s great!. I was planning to automate the deployment and maintainance of installations too much like bench manager.
Do you think setting up frappe cloud just to manage a couple of erpnext sites is an over kill? currently we use two erpnext sites internally for two of our compaines. but maintaining takes time going to cli everytime.
In README file following command incorrect:
sudo apt update && sudo -y apt upgrade
Sent Pull Request after correcting to:
sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade
Is reboot MUST after above command?
Pull request merged. Thanks for the contribution 
Yes it is. There’s a kernel update on Ubuntu 22.04 that always shows up at the point of installing bench which requires a system reboot which will effectively truncate the install process. so best to get that out of the way by updating and rebooting before initiating the install process.

Yes, noticed now.
Newer kernel available
│
│ The currently running kernel version is 5.15.0-82-generic which is not
│ the expected kernel version 5.15.0-87-generic.
│
│ Restarting the system to load the new kernel will not be handled
│ automatically, so you should consider rebooting.
Thank you.

And the second error which occured while frappe was being installed seems to have been as a result of the first error. pip is a mandatory dependency package used by frappe.
To repeat the steps, go to your frappe bench directory, and drop the created site. use --force flag to ensure the site is completely removed. next return to your home directory and delete the frappe bench directory created. re-run the script afterwards and it will skim through all dependency and package installation and re-initiate bench installation. if there are no network interruptions then it will install successfully.
Package was downloaded, as per:
Was downloaded as per:
DeployERP/LearnFrappe/InstallErpNext15.txt at main · GreatDevelopers/DeployERP · GitHub
There was failure, but as it give a number of tries (around 4) and for these two instances it was able to download the reuired packeges before all tries were exhausted.
As I roll backed, as per following:
because frappe bench was not installed, so there was not scope of site creation.
so I need to execute script again.
Script executed again and got it to install Frappe / ERPNext

Thanks for the awesome installation script. Fantastic work!
I’m installing ERPNext 15 in LXD on Ubuntu 22.04. All went well until I had to answer the following question:
Would you like to continue with production install? (yes/no)
Response: y
bash: erpnext_install.sh: line 375: syntax error near unexpected token `&&'
bash: erpnext_install.sh: line 375: ` && \'
Then the script stops. I re-run it today, but it stops at the same point. Even if I do the steps mentioned at “Note” on the GitHub page.
Anything I could do to get it to finish?
@ste_885932BDX This is a known bug that has been fixed. Please run git pull in the repo home directory to pull the latest commit and try again. If the script has already created the site, please go to the frappe-bench directory and run bench drop-site [your-site-name] and then go to your user’s home directory and remove the frappe-bench directory by running sudo rm -r frappe-bench. You can then re-run the script once you’ve pulled the latest commit.
Ensure you use exactly the same DB password you supplied the first time if you re-run the script on the same machine without resetting the OS otherwise mariadb will return permission error as it has already been initialized.
@flexy2ky Thanks for the quick reply. It worked as you described.
ERPNext 15 is installed and the Login page loads, but without any CSS or JS files loaded, as they all end with a 404 not found error. I could see the files, they do exist. Though, I guess that has to do with some nginx settings in frappe bench. I’ll take a look into this later.
Awesome work! Thanks a lot again.
This is a permission issue. Go to your user’s home directory and run this command sudo chmod 755 /home/$(echo $USER) This should assign the necessary permissions to your user to be able to run the css and js files. You can then go to the frappe-bench directory and run bench --site[your-site-name] migrate && bench restart && bench [your-site-name] clear-cache for good measure. this should fix the issue you’re facing.
Done! Now it works like a charm.
Awesome
