Nodejs Application along with ERPNext

Hi,

I want to build a Node JS application that works along with ERPNext on the same server, is there any way to build that? I know that Frappe uses NodeJS for Websocket.

Hi,

I am using “Frappe Docker” for development. I couldn’t find the nginx.conf file either in ‘/frappe-bench/config/’ directory nor do i have a nginx folder ‘/etc’. I’m not sure if nginx is used as the webserver in Docker Development Instance. Can anyone help me configure my development webserver to redirect to my custom nodejs portal application.

Thanks in Advance,

Check how frappe-socketio image is made. It is nodejs app.

check how erpnext-nginx image is made. It serves static assets and reverse proxy python and nodejs/socketio.
