OS is Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
Installed Apps:
ERPNext:** v15.76.0
Frappe Framework:** v15.77.0
Print Designer:** v1.6.0 (main)

How it install the environment:

  1. Ubuntu Server Installation with SSH Server
  2. Install Docker and Docker Compose
  3. Install Next ERP
git clone https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker
cd frappe_docker
docker compose -f pwd.yml up -d
  1. Install Print Design:
docker exec -it frappe_docker-backend-1 /bin/bash
bench get-app --branch main print_designer
bench --site frontend install-app print_designer
bench --site frontend migrate
docker restart $(docker ps -q)

I can find many fails in the browser develop console.

I’m new in the Linux/Ubuntu world. Unfortunately, my knowledge is not sufficient to continue working on this problem.Does anyone have any idea how I can proceed, or is the installation already incorrect?

Regards
Sebastian

I found the problem. The installation is certainly not intended this way, but I was able to solve it this way.
The steps I described in point 4 of my problem description must also be carried out for the Docker container “frappe_docker-frontend-1.” In other words, for the frontend.

Here are the commands.

docker exec -it frappe_docker-frontend-1 /bin/bash
bench get-app --branch main print_designer
bench --site frontend install-app print_designer
bench --site frontend migrate
docker restart $(docker ps -q)

I had another problem. Inserted images were displayed correctly in Print Designer. However, they could not be loaded when creating an invoice.
The IP address/URL was set correctly, but without the port specification, in my case 8080.
To fix this problem, the site_config.json file in /home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites/ must be edited in the Docker container frappe_docker-frontend-1 or frappe_docker-backend-1.
This line must be added:
“host_name”: “http://IP or URL:Port”, for example: “host_name”: “http://192.168.50.10:8080”.

Restart all Docker containers and then this will work.
