Docker Installation, How can i access to bench commands?

shahid · September 4, 2020, 12:59pm

Hi.

I installed ERPNext on Docker using below guide,

frappe/frappe_docker/blob/develop/docs/single-bench.md

# Single Bench

This setup starts traefik service as part of single docker-compose project. It is quick to get started locally or on production for a single server with single deployment.

This is not suitable when multiple services are installed on cluster with shared proxy/router, database, cache etc.

Make sure you've cloned this repository and switch to the directory before executing following commands.

## Setup Environment Variables

Copy the example docker environment file to `.env`:

For local setup

```sh
cp env-local .env
```

For production

This file has been truncated. show original

It installed successfully and working on browser as well.
The problem is in the backend using filezilla i can’t find the bench folder. also thats why i am unable to use the bench commands.

Can any body guide me how to use and access frappe bench in docker installation?

Bench is not installed in docker production images. https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker/issues/315

for custom apps https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker/blob/develop/docs/custom-apps-for-production.md

For executing internal frappe commands: https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker/blob/develop/docs/site-operations.md#frappe-internal-commands-using-bench-helper

Hi Revant,
I’m trying to clear cache for a production ERPNext site and I understand that Bench is not available in production images, so I tried to use the bench helper to run the command but I got the error “docker: invalid reference format.”.

Here is the command I tried:
docker run -v rockerp_sites-vol:/home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites --network rockerp_default --user frappe frappe/frappe-worker:$FRAPPE_VERSION bench --site rockerp.co.nz clear-cache

Host environment: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS.

Any help would be appreciated.

docker run -v rockerp_sites-vol:/home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites --network rockerp_default --user frappe frappe/erpnext-worker:v13.19.0 bench --site rockerp.co.nz clear-cache

make sure you’ve used the frappe/erpnext-worker image and specifed appropriate image tag.

Note: don’t use latest, develop or edge images in production.

Just had a similar issue and was able to access the docker-frappe container to call bench commands using docker-compose:

docker-compose --project-name crm exec erpnext-python "bash"
# now you are in the python container
cd {YOUR_SITENAME}
# Then you can call bench commands

you can execute the bench commands from the ~/frappe-bench/sites directory. No need to change to {YOUR_SITE} unless you need to edit any config files or do any other changes.
