i use this Apps json

export APPS_JSON='[
  {
    "url": "https://github.com/frappe/erpnext",
    "branch": "v14.23.0"
  },
  {
    "url": "https://github.com/frappe/hrms",
    "branch": "v14.2.3"
  }
  {
    "url": "https://github.com/jHetzer/erpnextfints",
    "branch": "0.4.1"
  }
]'
24

I’m sorry i just forgot to type a , after hrms in my app.json command

25

Hi, i’m new here.
So I can add all modules i want to this commands lines to build the image and get them installed in ERPNEXT at once?

26

yes.

If you have the repos private you need to pass personal access token or basic auth. e.g.
https://{PAT}@github.com/SomeOrg/custom_app replace PAT with your token or username and password in case of non github basic auth.

27

Ok thanks I want to install Accounting and Hrms module i need their repositories

29

Check reply #17 How do I install the human resources module in a Docker setup? - #17 by revant_one

Accounting is part of ERPNext v14

30

Ok whats the next process when the command has finished to create the image @ custom/hrms:1.0.0 ?

31

use the image and start containers

read everything here frappe_docker/custom-apps.md at main · frappe/frappe_docker · GitHub

32

This is what it return when i pull the image

(HTTP code 404) unexpected - pull access denied for custom/hrms, repository does not exist or may require ‘docker login’: denied: requested access to the resource is denied

33

you cannot pull this image, you’ve built this locally and pushed nowhere.

you need to USE the image.

let me copy paste the relevant section:

Use Images

On the compose.yaml replace the image reference to the tag you used when you built it. Then, if you used a tag like custom_erpnext:staging the x-customizable-image section will look like this:

x-customizable-image: &customizable_image
  image: custom_erpnext:staging
  pull_policy: never

The pull_policy above is optional and prevents docker to try to download the image when that one has been built locally.

i did it like this :point_down:t4::point_down:t4::point_down:t4:

x-customizable-image: &customizable_image

By default the image used only contains the frappe and erpnext apps.

See frappe_docker/custom-apps.md at main · frappe/frappe_docker · GitHub

about using custom images.

image: custom/hrms:staging
pull_policy: never

The tag i used is custom/hrms

35

When I try my custom image and build a container with it i get this errors:

my compose file has the changes:

  image: custom/hrms:1.0.0
  pull_policy: never

logs from the configurator:

logs from other containers:

The most important things that i noticed is while doing the export of apps json, when i try and export encoded variable it gives me this error:

export APPS_JSON='[
  {
    "url": "https://github.com/frappe/erpnext",
    "branch": "v14.21.0"
  },
  {
    "url": "https://github.com/frappe/hrms",
    "branch": "v14.2.2"
  }
]'

export APPS_JSON_BASE64=$(echo ${APPS_JSON} | base64 -w 0)
base64: invalid argument -w
Usage:	base64 [-hDd] [-b num] [-i in_file] [-o out_file]

  -b, --break    break encoded string into num character lines
  -i, --input    input file (default: "-" for stdin)
  -o, --output   output file (default: "-" for stdout)

Kindly Advise.

It may be difference with your shell, env variables picked up by shell.

bench set-config sets config values from env vars, if the var is missing or not picked up by your shell it’ll result in command error.

If -w doesn’t work try --wrap or check docs/man/help for your base64 command

Works for me on Linux/bash/zsh.

37

I double checked the env variable. Here were my steps:

  1. Created custom image with the apps json.
  2. Modified the compose yml with the right image, i.e my local image.
  3. Run the docker compose command.

Post all this the containers start but tone container errors out as mentioned in the details of error logs.

I also verified the base64, encode and decode it gives me the right json string back.
On mac os ventura there is no -w or wrap flag that can be used with base64.

38

wait for someone with Mac to help you.

Hello @revant_one ,

Thanks again for all the work and help, this time I managed to get the image build as I stepped away from mac and did this on centos. Here are my steps:

  1. build an image based on this: https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker/blob/main/docs/custom-apps.md
  2. Post Build I made sure that i changed the compose.yml to point to my own image under:
x-customizable-image: &customizable_image
  # By default the image used only contains the `frappe` and `erpnext` apps.
  # See https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker/blob/main/docs/custom-apps.md
  # about using custom images.
  image: rajverma1985/erpnext/custom:1.0.0

  1. I also made sure .env file is present but I did not make any changes to it at all.

  2. Now Whenever I run the compose command, the configurator fails, no matter what I do (I have a feeling i’m doing this totally wrong):

docker compose --env-file .env -f compose.yaml -f overrides/compose.redis.yaml up -d

I have also tried this:

docker compose --env-file .env -f compose.yaml up -d

Am I missing something due to which I keep getting this:

frappe_docker]# docker logs frappe_docker-configurator-1
Usage: bench  set-config [OPTIONS] KEY VALUE
Try 'bench  set-config --help' for help.

Error: Missing argument 'VALUE'.
