h1. ERPNext 14

h2. Bitnami based on Debian 11

out of the box ERPNext is installed. This describes what else can/needs to be done:

h3. convert VirtualBox-ova to be used with KVM

untar @.ova@

<pre><code class="shell">

tar xvf bitnami-erpnext-14.11.0-0-linux-vm-debian-11-x86_64-nami.ova

</code></pre>

convert @.vmdk@ to @.qcow2@ while showing 'progress'

<pre><code class="shell">

qemu-img convert -p -f vmdk -O qcow2 \

  bitnami-erpnext-14.11.0-0-linux-vm-debian-11-x86_64-nami-disk1.vmdk \

  bitnami-erpnext-14.11.0-0-linux-vm-debian-11-x86_64-nami-disk1.qcow2

here is again some 'magic', there is no MTA available. So any output from the cron-job gets discarded.

use the upper construct to debug and append the output to @/home/bitnami/erpnext-backup.log@

the backups are stored in @/opt/bitnami/erpnext/frappe-bench/sites/erpnext/private/backups@

h3. migrate ERPNext to new server

h4. backup

<pre><code class="shell">

files are saved very deep

<pre><code class="shell">

</code></pre>

h4. restore

h3. backup and load into test-site

To create a staging site from a production site backup:

<pre><code class="shell">

cd <frappe/erpnext Verzeichnis>

# notice: Database Public & Private from stdout

bench --site prod.example.net set-maintenance-mode off

restore into other Staging instance:

bench --site staging.example.net set-maintenance-mode on

bench --site staging.example.net restore ~/backup/YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS-prod.example.net-database.sql.gz
