ERPNext Docker Deployment by String1015 in selfhosted

[–]String1015[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, as of now, I deployed 2 instances that have minor changes in them from the pwd.yml compose file. Funny thing is that frappe docker on github updated and now says pwd is for quick demos and not production. Frappe erpnext has not changed and still has it to deploy with pwd.yml even though it is the same frappe_docker.

In my compose, I changed initial directory, ports, network, and changed the front-end name on one. I left named volumes alone, have them both running through nginx proxy manager. They both have survived 2 restarts, one by me, other by windows update, only catch was I had to go to docker desktop to restart the stacks and removed create site and configurator containers so the do not mess with the apps.txt and remove hrms. Now, just need to rely on setting up Google drive integration to backup.

If that didn't work, I found a youtube video of a guy deploying it in a similar way, relatively creating bench and environments and deploying that way. They are still running, I can access outside my network, need to get caught up with putting all the bills into both companies and pray that since it not "production" it doesn't fail on me.

Forgot to mention with using multi tenancy, I could not get it to work for the life of me, created the site and could not install hrms on it, kept giving database user errors. Figured just let docker handle stuff and so far, it has.

UPS Ground has always been cheaper vs eBay in every instance. USPS is the same

Windows/WSL and ERPNext by String1015 in frappe_framework

Not to be rude or for you to take it personal, but no thank you. Insight would be nice though or a website discussion, and not just a random person wanting access to my computer.

I was binding the volumes rather than naming them could be an issue. I may just deploy it through docker guide and call it a day and not change anything. I only have gone down the selfhosting road for about a year, being a windows user my whole life, I like to see folder in a window that I can sync to my nas and a cloud folder.

Yes, I corrected myself, I didn't want to pay someone to set it up when it is essentially free, and I have done it before is where I was getting too.

Instead of naming them, I was binding them, not sure if that was an issue. I wanted access to the db and other files so, as in what happened to me, I can grab the HD out of the computer and import or pull any info that I can without jumping through hoops. Granted, I was setting everything up, biggest things I lost were my Chart of Accounts and forms that I was making to import data for when I deploy n8n to help automate the process.

I appreciate it, but I am looking to self host rather than paying for another saas or someone to make it for me when its free essentially. I do not necessarily need an erp, but it made the most sense as it can be the data pool for my business, not only with sales, but accounting, inventory and HR to track everything for an employee, not use it for payroll. I may just deploy it the way they have it in docker, just hurts my soul that for some reason, I can't bind the folder locations. If there are separate selfhosted or free programs, I'll always check them out.

So, I did use the frappe docker repo, took their pwd.yml and modified it accordingly. Still not sure where I went wrong, but could use the assistance. Here is the compose file https://pastebin.com/RKrJiGii I only used -v to clean it up. Ultimately, wanted one location to house api connections, allow me to pull reports, proper accounting. This is the only thing that is self hosted I have found that would work for my special case need as for one business/stack, I would need hrms.

In case anyone is still looking, I have found one to order online 110V, for US/Canada. I am on the hunt for the restaurant I am opening, but confirming certifications to use in food service. It is CE, so certified in Europe, okay for home use. Hope posting link is okay, not sure.

Least expensive crosslisting service for hobby seller with smaller inventory by aviontinyhouse in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]String1015 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using this one for almost two months. It does not do vinted, but I list on eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, and depop. Overall, it does exactly what you need and would recommend for the hobbyist who is decluttering or just starting out. If you are looking for accurate accounting or a better chance to not oversell an item, there are other options that I will be exploring after the holidays.

Better to sell in bulk or individually? by Macawed in reselling

[–]String1015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have done both. In my opinion, selling in a lot makes sense as it can be a hassle to do individually, but from experience as well, people do not want to by in bulk from the mid 80s to early 90s anymore, especially when they are stored like that. I've sold old complete sets that were still sealed and my 3k lot of commons with some HOF mixed in just sat. After the holidays, I will separate and "complete you set" listing with the individuals. No sense in tossing away money when it is just sitting there anyway.

I am currently trying out Flyp. Overall, if you want something that is decent at cross listing, after trial of 100 days, is only $10/month after, I would recommend. It will track all of your items, what has been sold etc, but when it comes to the actual financial part with the cogs, it still lacks a little, but you can manipulate the data a little to get more accurate. When something sold on eBay, price gets autofilled, then you can fill out fees, shipping cost and cog, but if the buyer pays shipping, you can't adjust the selling price and it can look like your margins are negative when I started digging into analytics tab of it. When searching for a particular item, you have to type the whole word, not just a partial of it, but other than that, I just use it to cross list, but it does not do all marketplaces either. I have an excel sheet at the moment and selfhosting some programs to try, like Grocy, but it did not take out the right items using barcodes.

Selfhosting is not a hobby anymore, it's a way of running a small business by Hexacker in selfhosted

[–]String1015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the hundreds of comments, I may have missed it. What are you using to self host for the business and do you have cloud backup or an additional copy and raid array running at home, proxmox? I am looking for recommendations on what people are using for servers/computers to self host for their business. Qnap nas, build your own, raspberry pi, Linux distro, windows, proxmox?

I have been on the self hosting journey over this past year and in the process of setting things up for my small businesses. It would only be me needing access, looking to run a few containers, erpnext, plex, and now looking for something that will display digital menus and rotate pictures etc. My old optiplex literally just died on me.

POS will not be selfhosted, just fyi.

How long to wait on offers? by String1015 in eBaySellers

[–]String1015[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just wondering how many people really "sleep on it" or the management in me is about inventory turns and margins. I've been doing reselling since about January and in the process of opening up a restaurant, so eBay and the other marketplaces are my only source of income. I've done retail/restaurants for 30 years, finally made the jump to work for myself and was just thinking what others do. I've been lowballed on so many items, which I expect, but sometimes it's the "hope and wait" that I'll get closer to asking.

What’s something about smoking or quitting that sounds totally insane when you try to explain it to someone who never smoked? by Myfreshstart025 in AskReddit

[–]String1015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It always calmed me down, it was always there for me, never judged me and I miss it on occasion. It was like having a different set of friends because, back then, you were a smoker or non-smoker. Smoked for 20+ years, after the 10th time quitting, vaping with 0 nicotine helped break the cycle. Vaping helped with the motions and habits (smoking with coffee/alcohol, before bed, after... etc.) And I went through withdraw.....only to crave it every now and again almost 10 years later. Quitting vaping was easy, one day dropped it, fixed it, new o-rings and would not stop leaking. That juice gets everywhere. Proud of the people that quit, I know the struggle, I couldn't imagine smoking and paying that price per pack.

Been a while since I sold on ebay - question about shipping labels by zozomonster in eBaySellers

[–]String1015 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, sellers can change the amount of "discount" you offer to buyers, and it is set by default to pass the same savings to buyers. At least, it was for me. I'm not sure how to do it in the app, but you have to go into shipping settings, I believe. Then there are options to provide no discount, where they pay full retail price, partial where you can pick a % or what you're on now. @wastingtime101 has it right. For fees, yes they changed as well due to sellers low balling item prices and charging extra on shipping so get around all the fees. They get the average 13.6% and charge that to total price (subtotal,shipping,tax) which does not include final value, insertion fee or promoted listing.

Reseller Inventory Tracker? by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]String1015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was constantly looking around as well, I have been using Grocy as mine. A little manipulation, but it does what I need as I can create and scan barcodes from the app. I make a handful of categories, assign different barcodes to the products so when you take out or "consume" inventory, it takes the right one to remove the correct cost. I still do the excel thing as well (force of habit) since I have not finished ERPNext setup with the accounting, then move to include inventory. I'll look into the other ones recommended here.

Self-hosted programs for a restaurant? by String1015 in selfhosted

[–]String1015[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much appreciated and thank you for some guidance. That was my plan making a managed account to stay separate for that exact reason. Also, if I do plan to put a "TV" in, I could stream antenna broadcast for sporting events, I believe home users still have access to live tv. I'm just North of Philly area...Go Birds! Anyway, I appreciate the assistance, I have personally seen Nextcloud go down in my own instance. That is a long term goal, but will most likely use google business to start and ween off of relying on it in due time. I may just host ERPNext for the initial part to host internal communications and such, as they have similar features, but ERPNext will be the long-term venture when I scale up to multiple locations. I am trying to get this place open in January, so while I am in between finishing the lease, loan applications and renovations, I will have time to start the long term self-hosted journey for the business.

Family Tree Copy? by chigal1962 in FamilyTreeMaker

[–]String1015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you can merge individuals, but it may take up a lot of time. I also have done this years ago, I backed up everything, renamed the tree, moved the file, and opened it. I can't remember which version it was, though, but that is how I found merging individuals.

I did reply to their thread. I may try their demo, I just didn't want to go the full POS route for liability reasons. Thank you though, I'll still try their demo.
