Hi @revant_one ,
These steps are very useful for running Docker based Frappe Framework Applications.

How can I run multiple Frappe Container with Domain in single server,
because these steps are for running single Container only.
Is there a way to achieve multiple container in a Single Server?

4

For MacOS:

export APPS_JSON_BASE64=$(openssl base64 -e -in development/apps.json)

Hi Revant,
Thank You for the tutorial, But when I try following the instructions I get the following after the command:

This might be a file conversion problem between platforms.

The before-last line shows “python\r” (with a slash r), which doesn’t seem normal.

\r is newline on Mac
\n is newline on Linux
\r\n is newline on Windows

@revant_one

the u2net.onnx is not install

Hi there,
you can fix this error by changing the command to specifically run using python.
instead of this:
./installer.py -t develop -p 3.11.4 -n v18 -j apps.json -v
run this
python installer.py -t develop -p 3.11.4 -n v18 -j apps.json -v

hope it helps.

You need to understand volume and permission for mounted location. Fix ownership permission for files and directory.
