Create and use env file to pass environment variables to containers,
source .env
Or specify environment variables instead of passing secrets as command arguments. Refer notes section for environment variables required
Note:
- Wait for the database service to start before trying to create a new site.
- If new site creation fails, retry after the MariaDB container is up and running.
- If you're using a managed database instance, make sure that the database is running before setting up a new site.
# Create ERPNext site

frappe/erpnext-worker:$VERSION new
PostgreSQL is only available v12 onwards. It is NOT available for ERPNext.
It is available as part of frappe/erpnext-worker
. It inherits from frappe/frappe-worker
.
# Create ERPNext site
docker run \
-e "SITE_NAME=$SITE_NAME" \
-e "DB_ROOT_USER=$DB_ROOT_USER" \
-e "POSTGRES_HOST=$POSTGRES_HOST" \
-e "POSTGRES_PASSWORD=$POSTGRES_PASSWORD" \
-e "ADMIN_PASSWORD=$ADMIN_PASSWORD" \

--network <project-name>_default \
frappe/erpnext-worker:$VERSION new
Environment Variables needed:
SITE_NAME
: name of the new site to create. Site name is domain name that resolves. e.g.erp.example.com
orerp.localhost
.DB_ROOT_USER
: MariaDB/PostgreSQL Root user.MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
: In case of the MariaDB docker container use the one set inMYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
in previous steps. In case of a managed database use the appropriate password.MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD_FILE
- When the MariaDB root password is stored using docker secrets.ADMIN_PASSWORD
: set the administrator password for the new site.ADMIN_PASSWORD_FILE
: set the administrator password for the new site using docker secrets.INSTALL_APPS=erpnext
: available only in erpnext-worker and erpnext containers (or other containers with custom apps). Installs ERPNext (and/or the specified apps, comma-delinieated) on this new site.FORCE=1
: optional variable which force installation of the same site.
Environment Variables for PostgreSQL only:
POSTGRES_HOST
: host for PostgreSQL serverPOSTGRES_PASSWORD
: Password forpostgres
. The database root user.
Notes:
- To setup existing frappe-bench deployment with default database as PostgreSQL edit the common_site_config.json and set
db_host
to PostgreSQL hostname anddb_port
to PostgreSQL port. - To create new frappe-bench deployment with default database as PostgreSQL use
POSTGRES_HOST
andDB_PORT
environment variables inerpnext-python
service instead ofMARIADB_HOST
Change SITES
variable to the list of sites created encapsulated in backtick and separated by comma with no space. e.g. SITES=`site1.example.com`,`site2.example.com`
.
Reload variables with following command.
docker-compose --project-name <project-name> up -d
Environment Variables
SITES
is list of sites separated by:
colon to migrate. e.g.SITES=site1.domain.com
orSITES=site1.domain.com:site2.domain.com
By default all sites in bench will be backed up.WITH_FILES
if set to 1, it will backup user-uploaded files.- By default
backup
takes mariadb dump and gzips it. Example file,20200325_221230-test_localhost-database.sql.gz
- If
WITH_FILES
is set then it will also backup public and private files of each site as uncompressed tarball. Example files,20200325_221230-test_localhost-files.tar
and20200325_221230-test_localhost-private-files.tar
- All the files generated by backup are placed at volume location
sites-vol:/{site-name}/private/backups/*
docker run \
-e "SITES=site1.domain.com:site2.domain.com" \
-e "WITH_FILES=1" \
-v <project-name>_sites-vol:/home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites \
--network <project-name>_default \
frappe/erpnext-worker:$VERSION backup
The backup will be available in the sites-vol
volume.

frappe/frappe-worker:$VERSION restore-backup
Note:
- Volume must be mounted at location
/home/frappe/backups
for restoring sites - If no backup files are found in volume, it will use s3 credentials to pull backups
- Backup structure for mounted volume or downloaded from s3:
- /home/frappe/backups
- site1.domain.com
- 20200420_162000
- 20200420_162000-site1_domain_com-*
- 20200420_162000
- site2.domain.com
- 20200420_162000
- 20200420_162000-site2_domain_com-*
- 20200420_162000
- site1.domain.com
- /home/frappe/backups
Editing config manually might be required in some cases, one such case is to use Amazon RDS (or any other DBaaS). For full instructions, refer to the wiki. Common question can be found in Issues and on forum.
common_site_config.json
or site_config.json
from sites-vol
volume has to be edited using following command:
docker run \
-it \
-v <project-name>_sites-vol:/sites \
alpine vi /sites/common_site_config.json
Instead of alpine
use any image of your choice.
For socketio and gunicorn service ping the hostname:port and that will be sufficient. For workers and scheduler, there is a command that needs to be executed.
docker exec -it <project-name>_erpnext-worker-d \
docker-entrypoint.sh doctor -p postgresql:5432 --ping-service mongodb:27017
Additional services can be pinged as part of health check with option -p
or --ping-service
.
This check ensures that given service should be connected along with services in common_site_config.json. If connection to service(s) fails, the command fails with exit code 1.
To execute commands using bench helper.
docker run \
-v <project-name>_sites-vol:/home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites \
--network <project-name>_default \
--user frappe \
frappe/frappe-worker:$VERSION bench --help
Example command to clear cache
docker run \
-v <project-name>_sites-vol:/home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites \
--network <project-name>_default \
--user frappe \
frappe/frappe-worker:$VERSION bench --site erp.mysite.com clear-cache
Notes:
- Use it to install/uninstall custom apps, add system manager user, etc.
- To run the command as non root user add the command option
--user frappe
.
