<![CDATA[ERPNext - cost-effective ERP solution]]>ERPNext is a free and open-source integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software developed by Frappé Technologies Pvt. Ltd. and is built on MariaDB database system using a Python based server-side framework.

There are a few packaged versions on Docker Hub already, so it should be just a matter of reading a dockerfile and massaging it into the standard Cloudron packaging format. :thinking:

A lot more work, but also totally bespoke.

But, agreed, regardless of all that it would still be useful to have ERPNext on Cloudron

I require more than a CRM in general. Here is an overview of ERPNEXT modules which include a host of functionality. The same goes for Odoo or Flextra as well.

I need business applications and it would be great to leverage Cloudron beneath them. Therefore ExpNext and Odoo would add so much value to the portfolio of applications offered through Cloudron.

Yes there is Dolibarr, but it is not adequate.

(Cloudron CLI on Windows)

As the output is suggesting the file is not there, maybe it's gone 🤷‍♂️

Than I used the instruction provided by @nj https://forum.cloudron.io/post/87732 to get it running on cloudron.

When I try to install, using your instructions, it I get the error:

No CloudronManifest.json found

Do you know what I could be doing wrong? Do I need to first pull the image from dockerhub?

Thanks!

But I have also setup S3 backup to BackBlaze just to be double sure. Cloudron backup can be used for full restore of the site. It contains the database, files, and everything. ERPNext backup can be used to restore to a fresh installation.

PS: I would highly recommend utilizing your cloud provider's "Automatic Backup" or "Automatic Snapshot" feature that allows you to automatically backup the whole VPS everyday. This way you have redundant backups. Make sure to use multiple vendors. For eg: if you host your VPS on AWS,

  1. Use AWS's automatic VPS backup system
  2. Configure Cloudron backups to say, DigitalOcean spaces
  3. Configure ERPNext backups to say, Backblaze
    If all three are in a nearby region, latency won't be an issue, and you'd hardly ever deal with data loss, unless all three cloud providers close your account on the same day.

Thank you.

]]>https://forum.cloudron.io/post/87731https://forum.cloudron.io/post/87731Wed, 01 May 2024 07:10:01 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to ERPNext - cost-effective ERP solution on Wed, 01 May 2024 06:36:56 GMT]]>Yes, the package still works.

New Installation using my image

To directly install ERPNext if you haven't previously, use this command:
Remember to replace <yourdomain.com> with youre actual domain.

cloudron login my.<yourdomain.com>
cloudron install --image njsubedi/cloudron-erpnext -l erp.<yourdomain.com>

Open the file manager to look for the credentials.

If you need to login with LDAP, you can do that by using the terminal of this app, and run /app/pkg/setup-ldap.sh add

Otherwise, that's all you need to do.

Updating

If you previously used ths app and want to continue using version-14, you need to do is run gosu cloudron bench update --reset once in a while to keep things up to date.

Now, I have upgraded the code to use version-15 by default.

If you were previously running on version-14 and now need to update to version-15 that's pretty easy too.

Just run gosu cloudron bench switch-to-branch version-15 frappe erpnext --upgrade

Then run gosu cloudron bench migrate

My 2p : "big" systems deserve their own dedicated deployment, e.g. own VPS

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).

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?

TBH, I don't think we will be able to support this sort of selfhosting complexity.
