Install Press via Frappe Docker

Frappe Cloud

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on setting up the Press app inside a Frappe project using frappe_docker.

I’ve successfully created a custom Docker image including Frappe and Press by following the official guide here:
:link: frappe_docker/docs/custom-apps.md at main · frappe/frappe_docker · GitHub

The installation worked fine, and the site was created using the image without issues.

However, I’m now facing a problem during configuration:

When I go to “TLS Certificate” > “Obtain Certificate” in the UI, I get an error saying that Certbot is not found.

Here is the exact error data:

json

{
    "command": "certbot certonly --dns-route53  --logs-dir /home/frappe/.certbot/logs --work-dir /home/frappe/.certbot --config-dir /home/frappe/.certbot --force-renewal --agree-tos --eff-email --email justin@smiling-digital.de --staple-ocsp --key-type rsa --rsa-key-size 2048 --cert-name *.pc.smiling-digital.de --domains *.pc.smiling-digital.de",
    "exception": "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'certbot'"
}

:question:My questions:

  1. Has anyone successfully set up Press with frappe_docker including working TLS certificate generation?
  2. Is there a recommended way to include Certbot (with plugin certbot-dns-route53)?
  3. Should Certbot run inside the Frappe Backend container, or externally (e.g. host or separate container)?

Any help, guidance or links to working examples would be greatly appreciated! :pray:

Thanks in advance!
Justin
