ERPNext Docker Debian is a repository we created to make it easier for those who want to run ERPNext on Docker.
We chose to run ERPNext on Docker because of the following reasons:
-
Stability
- ERPNext has many dependencies. Even though Frappe provides an Easy Install Script, it doesn't guarantee a successful installation every time. With a Docker Image, we can ensure that ERPNext will run consistently.
- ERPNext is under continuous development. Sometimes, new code and features may contain errors. A Docker Image allows us to choose the specific version we want to use.
- In the event of a disaster, we can quickly, easily, and reliably restore our data from a backup and run it with the Docker stack.
-
Convenience
- ERPNext can only run on Linux or macOS. With Docker, we can run ERPNext on Windows with ease.
- With Docker, users can try out ERPNext with a single, simple command. By running
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9000:9000 pipech/erpnext-docker-debian:stable, users can access ERPNext by navigating to localhost:8000. - For development, users can confidently experiment with code changes. If something goes wrong and ERPNext fails to run, they can easily delete the container and start a new one using the same image.
