Update App in Only One Site

[ninjas005]

Hi everyone,

How can we update an app in only one site?

When i run “bench update”, it updates the app in all the sites i’ve created.

Please help me with this. I want to show same app working in two different ways in two sites in two different ports in my server. Its really urgent

You cant do that. the code base is same for a app across all sites. You might need to create two instances of bench to achieve this.

okey, i get it.
I am having two sites in two ports in my server. so we can’t run same app with different codes installed on two sites.

Can i duplicate an app (say erpnext to newerpnext) and make my changes there , so that i don’t have to make it from the beginning?

This will not be fully supported by bench tool or ERPNext.
You can setup another user under linux box similar to frappe and then manually install bench for this new user. It will be difficult for you to manage updates and config files modifications, but if you have system admin skills, you can manage those with the help of cronjob and couple of scripts.

That works,

I believe he meant the same.
Thanks @neilLasrado and @yashodhan…

I didn’t get what you mean by this. Please explain a little.
For the moment i use ftp.

@ninjas005 maybe I am repeating myself here … a dockerized installation (which does not exist production ready yet) would nicely support your scenario.

ERPNext docker discussion

Continuing the discussion from ERPNext docker file: Not sure why the linked thread has been closed when I’m sure that the community can contribute to their experience with Docker based ERPNext deployment. I’ve myself used the raman/erpnext docker image which seems to be more recently updated and is based on the davidgu/erpnext image you mentioned. Indeed it does not follow good practices of linking to external mysql/redis containers, but at least it recommends (like the davidgu image and a n…

Funding development of a docker Environment - how do I do it?

as some have noted I am looking to push having a production-ready docker environment for ERPNext to be developed. Status: non-existing I can’t do it myself and I don’t have a budget to just pay someone to do it. What’s the best approach for such? I though about posting a job on the Community job-posting site and get an idea of the costs through that (which I don’t have. Maybe it’s a piece of cake if you just know your ways with docker and ERPNext, maybe it’s more dificult) start a funding c…

P.S. somehow I can not post more then 1 link. Somebody has withdrawn some ‘capacities’ I had earned in this forum lately.
