Frappe Framework

I followed this guide and set up the dev container, created dcode.com site, installed erpnext successfully.
frappe_docker/docs/development.md at main · frappe/frappe_docker

But how to update the devcontainer?

This applies for your development env.

  1. Upgrade the development setup and do not bother about container images. Use bench update. command will pull latest apps and update the python env / node_modules. This is enough for most of the times. You can do this for the lifecycle of one specific version. e.g. verison-15. Keep on updating with bench update
  2. Once or twice a year you may have to update the other components like, python, node, mariadb, redis, etc. In that case edit the .devcontainer/docker-compose.yml file with the version tags you need to update and rebuild the devcontainer.

Note:

If you pull frappe/bench:latest and it has python and node version updates, your existing setup may stop working. Following should fix it.

# remove existing env
mv env env-bkp
# setup new env
bench setup env
# setup nodejs and python dependencies
bench setup requirements

Another recommendation is to clone frappe_docker into project name instead of frappe_docker itself. Check this TLDR Quickstart Frappe Development · castlecraft/custom_containers Wiki · GitHub
