# CLAUDE.md
|
|
|
|
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
|
|
|
|
## Project Overview
|
|
|
|
This is a Docker-based deployment of ERPNext, an open-source ERP system built on the Frappe framework. The repository provides a containerized solution for simplified installation and management of ERPNext using Docker Compose.
|
|
|
|
**Repository**: https://github.com/98labs/docker-erpnext
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
The application uses a microservices architecture with the following key services:
|
|
|
|
- **backend**: Main ERPNext/Frappe worker service (frappe/erpnext-worker)
|
|
- **frontend**: Nginx service for serving static assets and proxying requests (frappe/erpnext-nginx)
|
|
- **db**: MariaDB 10.6 database service
|
|
- **redis**: Redis service for caching and queue management
|
|
- **websocket**: Socket.io service for real-time communications (frappe/frappe-socketio)
|
|
- **queue-default/long/short**: Worker services for handling different job queues
|
|
- **scheduler**: Service for scheduled tasks
|
|
- **configurator**: One-time service that sets up common site configuration
|
|
- **create-site**: One-time service that creates the initial ERPNext site
|
|
|
|
All services connect through a Docker network specified by `APP_NETWORK` (default: erpnext-local).
|
|
|
|
## Key Configuration Files
|
|
|
|
- **docker-compose.yml**: Main orchestration file defining all services
|
|
- **.env**: Environment configuration (contains passwords and ports)
|
|
- **variables.json**: Deployment metadata and requirements
|
|
- **src/compose.yaml**: Base Frappe compose configuration template
|
|
- **src/overrides/**: Contains specific override configurations for different components
|
|
|
|
## Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
Critical variables in `.env`:
|
|
- `POWER_PASSWORD`: Master password used by other services (default: LocalDev123!)
|
|
- `APP_VERSION`: ERPNext version (v12, v13, v14)
|
|
- `APP_PASSWORD`: Administrator password (uses $POWER_PASSWORD)
|
|
- `APP_HTTP_PORT`: HTTP port for web access (default: 8080)
|
|
- `DB_MARIA_PASSWORD`: MariaDB root password (uses $POWER_PASSWORD)
|
|
- `APP_NAME`: Container name prefix (default: erpnext)
|
|
- `APP_NETWORK`: Docker network name (default: erpnext-local)
|
|
- `APP_DB_PARAM`: Database parameter (v12 uses "mariadb", v13+ uses "db")
|
|
- `APP_URL`: Application URL (default: localhost)
|
|
- `APP_USER`: Administrator username (default: Administrator)
|
|
|
|
## Common Development Commands
|
|
|
|
### Initial Setup
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Create the Docker network (first time only)
|
|
docker network create erpnext-local
|
|
|
|
# Start the application
|
|
docker-compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Stopping the Application
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose down
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Viewing Logs
|
|
```bash
|
|
# All services
|
|
docker-compose logs -f
|
|
|
|
# Specific service
|
|
docker-compose logs -f backend
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Accessing the Database
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker exec -it erpnext-db mysql -u root -p
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Accessing the Backend Shell
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker exec -it erpnext-backend /bin/bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Bench Commands (from within backend container)
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Access Frappe/ERPNext console
|
|
bench --site frontend console
|
|
|
|
# Run migrations
|
|
bench --site frontend migrate
|
|
|
|
# Clear cache
|
|
bench --site frontend clear-cache
|
|
|
|
# Backup site
|
|
bench --site frontend backup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Rebuilding After Version Change
|
|
When changing `APP_VERSION` in `.env`:
|
|
1. Stop containers: `docker-compose down`
|
|
2. Remove volumes: `docker volume prune` (CAUTION: This removes data)
|
|
3. Update `.env` with new version
|
|
4. Start containers: `docker-compose up -d`
|
|
|
|
## Important Notes
|
|
|
|
- **Internal Port**: Port 8000 is used internally for container communication - do not change this
|
|
- **External Port**: The external HTTP port is configured via `APP_HTTP_PORT` in `.env` (default: 8080)
|
|
- **Default Site**: The default site name is "frontend" (created by create-site service)
|
|
- **Database Parameter**: Changes based on version - v12 uses "mariadb", v13+ uses "db"
|
|
- **Restart Policy**: All containers use "on-failure" restart policy for resilience
|
|
- **Data Persistence**: Site data is persisted in Docker volumes (sites, assets, db-data, redis-data)
|
|
- **Network**: All services communicate through the `erpnext-local` Docker network
|
|
- **Default Credentials**: Administrator / LocalDev123!
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Port Conflicts
|
|
If port 8080 is already in use, modify `APP_HTTP_PORT` in `.env` to a different port.
|
|
|
|
### Network Issues
|
|
Ensure the Docker network exists:
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker network ls | grep erpnext-local
|
|
# If not found, create it:
|
|
docker network create erpnext-local
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Version Changes
|
|
When changing ERPNext versions, you must remove existing data:
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose down
|
|
docker volume prune # WARNING: Removes all data
|
|
# Update APP_VERSION in .env
|
|
docker-compose up -d
|
|
``` |
