Hello,
Im new to docker and dont know much about frappe as well
I have created a project using the existing apps such as frappe, erpnext, hrms
but i made changes in those apps itself like adding doctype, creating endpoints in api level
how to create docker for this!
Please help
Create a Dockerfile in your project directory. This file will define how your Docker image is built. Here’s a basic example:
Dockerfile
# Use an official Python runtime as a parent image
FROM frappe/erpnext-worker:edge
# Set the working directory in the container
WORKDIR /home/frappe/frappe-bench
# Copy your custom app(s) into the container
COPY ./custom_apps/* /home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/
# Install any additional dependencies if needed
# For example, if you have custom requirements for your app
# RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
# Set permissions (adjust as necessary)
RUN chown -R frappe:frappe /home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/*
# Expose ports (if necessary)
# EXPOSE 80
# Start the services
CMD ["bench", "start"]
Make sure your project directory structure looks something like this:
project-directory/
│
├── Dockerfile
├── custom_apps/
│ ├── frappe/
│ ├── erpnext/
│ ├── hrms/
│ └── your_custom_app/ # Include your customizations here
│ ├── hooks.py
│ ├── patches.txt
│ └── ...
│
└── ...
Navigate to your project directory in the terminal and build your Docker image using the docker build command:
docker build -t my-custom-erpnext .
Replace my-custom-erpnext with a suitable name for your Docker image.
Once the image is built, you can run a container based on that image:
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 my-custom-erpnext
This command runs a container in detached mode (-d) and maps port 8000 of your container to port 8000 of your host system (-p 8000:8000).
I didnt create a custom app, i customised the existing apps
frappe, erpnext and hrms
The doctype and fields of the doctype as well
If i follow regular method of dockerisation i wont get these changes in it, I dont know how to add these changes during Dokerisation
Oh, I guess you made some changes to the inbuilt frappe, hrms , erpnext apps and now you want to see the changes live on your server, but you don’t know how to integrate these ?
please correct me if I’m wrong.
Yes! Exactly
For that you need to save the settings/changes which you have done to the apps.
and then reload the site by these commands.
bench build or bench build --force
bench restart
also after these check/set
bench --site yoursitename set-maintenance-mode off
These all commands helped me earlier when i made the changes.
I was using Ubuntu 22.
for me only the Build command helped without any issue.
I did the changes in my built in apps which is in my local system, now i want to make a docker image out of it so that itll be easier if i run it in another system
To create that I dont know how to do it
If i follow this frappe_docker/docs/custom-apps.md at main · frappe/frappe_docker · GitHub
It wont include the changes done in the built in apps, so is there any other way out
for that you need to create a docker file.
as i mentioned above.
I asked him as well, got the same link recomendation which i followed
I’ll try once again
Thanks
Welcome, and yes you need to check the link and other sources, basically you need to dockerize the file (create docker image ) of the changes you made. and then you can add to other system while configuration.
Can u explain a bit more about this
Im confused about what to do exactly
No, I couldn’t install the apps from my private repository in which i did changes
So finally now doing fresh installation and creating the new erpnext with hrms where im redoing the whole changes again
and also I switched from version 14 to 15 as there was lots of issues to install this version
This is only my experience dont generalise it
I might have made some mistakes unaware of the process
No i installed erpnext in docker itself, but the changes that i made in erpnext which i installed in my local system( no docker), I couldnt reflect it in the docker installation
it mean the custom code you make in development container not implement in docker image when use build
