Hey I want to know the difference between docker version and easy install version.
Is thier any performance differnce or we need higher config server for docker version.
Also can I Update the erp next to new versions if using docker without loosing the data.
Is it fine to use erp next docker version for production i.e for a company.

Bench is not installed in docker.

I observed docker can be used on less powered servers because there is no asset building step that requires more ram during setup. This will probably change in future if static assets are downloaded instead of being built on every setup.

Yes. I use it production.

I know people are using docker or docker swarm in production. I’m not using it in production.

I use it on Kubernetes for my production setup, I keep ERPNext on my k8s cluster up to date

❯ helm ls -n erpnext

I have a K8s CronJob to take and push backups to S3 compatible object storage. I’ve used these backups to migrate sites. There was no need of recovery from backups yet.

I guess the answer to that is “yes, if you know what you are doing”.

In other words: to run a dockerized production instance(s) securly a certain expertize in docker and it’s accompanzing tools like kuberbetes or swarm or compose, etc is required. So obviousely you need to gain some level of ‘awarenes of those things’ in order to run it successfully in a dockerized environment.
