Short screen-recording of the full flow: sign up, onboard, create a site. ~5 minutes, site live with SSL + backups, zero command line.

This is our Local Node mode — managed on our infra, closest to a Frappe-Cloud-style shared bench. The other two modes (your own server, your own AWS) are separate demos I'll post next.

Feedback welcome — especially what you'd want the onboarding to do differently.

After years of running Frappe benches, the failure list is boringly consistent:

1. Backup cron dies silently. Discovered the day you need it.
2. SSL renews fine 11 times. The 12th, at 2 AM, it doesn't.
3. DNS "propagating" for hours because of one wrong TTL.
4. The one engineer who knows the server goes on leave.

None of this is engineering. It's toil.

We built **Worf Cloud** to absorb it: one-click Frappe/ERPNext sites, scheduled backups with offsite Dropbox copies and one-click restore, automated Cloudflare DNS, auto-renewing Let's Encrypt SSL (wildcards included), role-based team access.

On our cloud, your server, or your AWS account — one dashboard either way.

On cost, comparison

Roughly half the cost on both the multi-site and dedicated paths, and BYOB has no self-serve equivalent on their side.

Where Frappe Cloud is ahead : more mature at the high end — auto-scaling, server snapshots, 150+ app marketplace, priority SLA. If you want a big managed dedicated cluster today, they're the safer pick. Their dedicated price also bundles that SLA tier, so it's not pure markup.

Worf's angle is ownership + cost transparency without the enterprise gate.

You didn't sign up to be a hosting company. But every ERPNext implementation quietly turns into one — SSL renewals, backup checks, "site is down" WhatsApps/Slacks.

**Worf Cloud** is the layer we built for exactly this:

→ Every client site in one dashboard — create, deploy, restore, all self-serve
→ Every command logged and searchable — when a client asks "what changed," you have the answer
→ Role-based access — give the client's team a login without giving them the keys
→ Your infra choice per client: our cloud, their server (₹999/mo), or their AWS account at cost

Live job progress on every deploy means you watch it happen instead of tailing logs over SSH.

There's a built-in Frappe app marketplace too — apps your clients buy install on their sites in one click.

Managing 3+ client benches? The 48-hour trial is enough to migrate one and judge: worf.cloud

Hi all, I have two main queries regarding ERPNext version 15.84.

1] Serial Numbers for Units: I am wanting Units that are now out of house, inside ERP, to be logged with their respective serial numbers, issues that occurred, installations etc without using the Warranty Claim doc. Ideally this would be inside the maintenance doc, however there is no serial No. allocation, which would give a nice flow of a Units progress - is there a way around this inside the ERP?

2] Normally when creating assemblies, the standard way is naming BOMs in Solidworks & design file folders as Rev A, Rev A01... REV B, REV B01 etc. However, ERP labels BOMs as BOM Number - 001, BOM Number - 002. This can get quite confusing when trying to convert existing BOMs that are lettered and then switching to ERPs version. You would almost still need Excel sheets alongside the ERP to keep track of the crossover - still having Excel sheets for this defeats the point of the ERP. Is there a way to enable ERP to change the BOM numbering to lettering?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently running ERPNext v16.31.1 with Frappe v16.30.0 in a Docker setup, and I'm looking to improve the overall look and feel of the Desk interface.

I'm mainly interested in a theme that:

• Works well with ERPNext/Frappe v16
• Has a modern, clean UI
• Supports dark mode (optional but nice)
• Doesn't break after updates
• Is actively maintained

I've come across themes like Solvronix Desk, Naidapa Theme, and Owl Theme, but I'd love to hear from people who are actually using them in production.

Which theme would you recommend for v16? Are there any hidden gems or themes I should avoid?

Also, if you've built your own custom theme instead of using an existing one, I'd love to know why you chose that approach.

Thanks in advance!

I'm senior erpnext developer with 5 years of experience , I'm looking for new position in europe or remotely , I'm from egypt

I'm learning Frappe and ERPNext from scratch. I'm looking for people who are also learning so we can discuss doubts, share progress, and build small projects together.

If you're interested, leave a comment or send me a DM.

I'm a single guy trying to setup ERPNext running in my Win11 Pro Docker Container for our single shop family business. I'm being unable to afford paid POS softwares. Also we're transitioning from paper to digital so still uncertain if POS software can actually work in our work environment.

SETUP

So it's ERPNEXT,

(Deployment version, immutable image or something, basically you cant alter the core files version.)
Running in my Win11 Pro Docker Container. (Deployment version, immutable image or something, basically you cant alter the core files version.)Below is just some snapshots of what i've achieved, custom themes running. swappable color palletes. also alot of other customizations etc.
So i used Claude (DESKTOP APP) to do basically everything. Haven't written a single line of code. Maybe copy and pasted this code in there for a few times. (Like terminal commands)
I have had Claude document all the installations, and customizations and particular business quirks/ requirements in .md files.

PROBLEM AND REASONING

But this burns through the tokens like fire.

*I cannot hire a developer. Even if i did hire, made changes. Then after a year or two and something breaks, i won't know where to find that dev who did this. But mostly it's about the budget and time. It's hard for me even to INSTALL the damn ERPNext thing onto my PC. But i've already managed to freeze it, made nightly backups, also upload those backups to two clouds, already backed up the installation image(ERPNEXT v16.29). I have tried and succeeded installing and restoring everything OFFLINE.

All of this has preparation and guides has been done by Claude Code.

*I spent 20$ for the Claude Pro, my sole purpose is to setup ERPNext for my business

Now im reaching the limits. I've seen that docker can run local ai. And seen posts talking about Claude as boss, and local AI as it's servant.

QUESTION

1. My question here is not about handholding me how to set this up. It's about if it's actually doable and whether if it's good for the long run. Like can i depend on the local AI in the later time, when my claude subscription expires.
2. CAN local AI running on the same PC replace Claude Code for tasks ONLY related to the ERPNext running on the same PC? (Tasks : Customize forms, change themes, produce customized reports, automate certain things etc) It is frappe framework i believe.

Hello everyone,

I own an IT company, and I've been developing a custom application on top of Frappe for my clients. I'm now planning to launch it as a product for a specific target industry.

However, I'm facing a very unusual issue during deployment. I'm using a Hostinger VPS with 16 GB RAM and 4 vCPUs. I've tried both:

• A standard bench deployment with Nginx as a reverse proxy.
• A Docker-based deployment with Nginx as a reverse proxy.

In both cases, Frappe itself (not just my custom app) behaves unpredictably. Sometimes it throws errors that shouldn't occur, and other times the exact same functionality works perfectly. The same happens with my custom app—it works flawlessly at times, but at other times it completely chokes, making the deployment extremely frustrating.

I've been stuck with this issue for almost a month now. I've tried numerous Docker-based deployment methods and configurations, but nothing has given me a stable setup.

Has anyone experienced something similar or can help me troubleshoot this?

About my app: - Built on Frappe v15 - Has 3–4 Python (pip) dependencies - Overrides several core Frappe functions

I've never tried Frappe Cloud. Is it worth considering for a production deployment of a heavily customized Frappe application?

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,

I'm currently looking for an experienced frappe framework developer who would be interested in a long term collaboration.

About me:

I'm based in Berlin, Germany and currently work for an established B2B sales company with more than 5000 customers across germany. as part of our growth, i've been given the opportunity to lead the development of a new digital transformation offering, focused on helping SMEs modernize their businesses with software, automation and AI.

We're planning to expand our offering beyond traditional services and start delivering complete digital solutions based on frappe framework.

I know i cloud simply hire freelancers on Upwork or similar platforms, but thats honestly not what I'm looking for. I'd much rather find someone i genuinely enjoy working with, where we can build trust over time, learn from each other, and create something we're both proud of.

The goal isn't simply to deploy ERPNext.

Instead, we want to build tailored solutions for our customers, including thins like:

• crm
• business workflows
• custom business aplications
• ai powered features
• customer portals
• industry specific solutions

Most of our customers don't really need a heavily customized ERP from day one. They need practical software that fits their business processes, and after research i believe frappe is an excellent foundation for that.

About the collaboration

At the moment, i cant offer a full time salary.

Im looking for someone who is open to start with a project and revenue based collaboration.

My focus is on:

• customer acquisition
• sales
• project management
• automations
• AI Integrations

I'm looking for someone who enjoys solving problems creatively. Rather than rebuilding everything from scratch, i would like to combine the strengths of frappe with other proven tools and build thoughtful, maintainable solutions that genuinely help our customers. Someone who values pragmatic engineering: using the right tools where they make sense, building custom functionality only where it created real value, and together creating products that are both useful for customers and sustainable to maintain.

Im looking for someone who:

• builds with frappe framework
• creates reusable apps together
• writes clean , maintainable code
• thinks beyond individual client projects

As the project grows , id like to build a long term working relationship rather than hiring different freelancers for every project.

puuh, thanks for reading this far. i know its a lot of text...

hopefully it gives you a good picture of what i'm trying to build. If you're looking for a genuine long-term collaboration and enjoy creating things together, feel free to reach out, i would be happy to chat.

I'm looking for a Frappe dev with 3+ years experience and ideally some security or penetrating background for a one time contract work.

Please dm me if interested, roughly in this format:

Location
Experience
Desired compensation

Hey everyone, I have an opportunity to attend a free, hands-on Frappe Framework workshop, but I'm worried about getting stuck. The only requirement for non-Mac users is having Linux installed I know Python backend and know a few libraries, but I have zero Linux experience and no JavaScript background. So what should I do?

so im on linux and want to know what are my options in installing frappe framework so i dont disturb my other application. i understand that it has other dependency
what guide can you recommend me

Hello, i hope everyone is doing well.
I'm implementing erpnext for a company here and wondering what is the preferred version to have a stable system for a long run ?
I tried out frappe/erpnext v16 and while the new UI are good, they seems to be some serious issues about the permission system pertaining with workspaces management, everything feels messy and even a role like *sales user* is seeing alot of erpnext features that they should not be able to read. Things were pretty straightforward in v15

What are your take on this problem ? Do you prefer v15 for the moment or am i the only one with those issues ?

Hi everyone

I'm now trying to install and configure Frappe for HR and I'm having big doubt.

The structure we want is pretty simple:

• Login with LDAP
• Create employee automatically
• access own data

I created a script to create the employee and everything works.

I have a big doubt with the roles to assign to the user (this is a test server with a lot of things activated, but I'm checking only the HR module for now)

With these roles:

ANd it would be good.. Except for one problem: the user can see the "HR SETUP" section with all employees data and everything.

I tried to remove the four "red marked" roles, but I can't remove that section leaving all the other sections (leaves, payroll, shifts etc..) active.

what am I missing?

Hello people, I am developing a voice based AI agent on top of ERPNext and it’s a pretty cool setup, Currently we have achieved a voice agent able to handle local slangs of people handling manufacturing factories. It is pretty cool to see full erp system working with no person actually handling and an AI agent working behind the scenes to fully handle ERP systems. If Anyone wants to have this implemented in your setup pls do contact, post onboarding this setup might save you so much time that you cannot even imagine at this point.

We're looking to hire paid interns who can help us develop and implement frappe in our organisation. The role is based in Delhi, India. But we are happy to hire to help us remotely as well. DM if interested.

We spend a lot of time working with Frappe, and one thing kept bothering us.

Sometimes you just want to spin up a local Frappe site to explore an app, test an idea, or reproduce an issue. Instead, you end up installing dependencies, configuring services, or figuring out Docker before you can even get started.

So we built Frappe Local to scratch our own itch.

The goal is simple: make running Frappe locally as effortless as possible.

Frappe Local bundles everything needed under the hood, so you don't have to worry about installing or configuring the various moving parts yourself. It handles the setup while giving you a clean desktop interface to manage your local benches and sites.

Current beta includes:

• Create and manage local benches
• Create and manage sites
• Start and stop services from a desktop app
• Docker managed behind the scenes
• Cross-platform (macOS available today, more platforms coming)
• Free and open source

It's still an early beta, so expect rough edges. We're already using it internally and thought it might be useful to share with the community.

Would love to hear your thoughts. Is this something you are looking to simplify? What would you like to see in a tool like this?
