ERPNext - cost-effective ERP solution

Unfortunately, Cloudron doesn’t have a scheduler or cron system that can trigger a script before starting to backup and another script after backup success / failure. If @girish added a cron format like @prebackup @postbackup and @onbackupfail or simply added those options to the scheduler manifest, it would be perfect.
File a feature request for this to get it in their queue.

@nj Thanks for packaging ERPNext. Its potential is vast.
Trying out different features of it I notice that there seem to be several modules missing when compared to the ERPNext docs.
For example Automation is missing. (Though I can reach and use event producers by searching for it, or reaching
/app/event-producer
directly)Perhaps that's all in order if your app is packing the core app only?

@yusf I have setup frappe to install ErpNext only. If Automation is an app, you can add any apps you like. Instructions on Github. I also installed other apps after installing this package on my cloudron. Or maybe Automation module is hidden by default and you can show it from Settings, I don’t know.

I spent several days to make ErpNext work with Cloudron MySQL or Postgres. Unfortunately, postgres support is still a work in progress in ErpNext upstream and the project uses some features like
CREATE SEQUENCE
that are only available in MySQL, not in MariaDB. That's why the current version of this package is the most stable one.My suggestion to @staff if you can, please add the MariaDB addon alongside the MySQL addon. It should be extremely easy to add because of the similarity with MySQL. There are so many open source software that use MariaDB, and will sooner or later be incompatible with MySQL.

TBH, I don't think we will be able to support this sort of selfhosting complexity.
Cloudron does brilliantly at hosting Nextcloud, which I think is a somewhat similar, complex application. What is it about Nextcloud which makes it possible where ERPnext is too tricky?
-
@LoudLemur you can see this post by @nj who already spent 100+ hours on this. The app also (when previously investigated) required database admin credentials and had restrictions on how username/password is created etc. All this makes it basically unviable for selfhosting imo, in general. I am sure it can be made to run with Cloudron with a lot of effort , but it's not worth it (for us).
