frappe_docker VS plaintextaccounting

git clone https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker.git cd frappe_docker

I ended up writing a small bash script to assist with getting it running using the upstream compose files.

Frappe Cloud is by far the easiest way to run an ERPNext instance of you're okay with shared hosting. It's a Frappe framework-based app hosting service from the developers of ERPNext, and it supports data file imports from other instances of ERPNext:

In addition to the Frappe Bench setup process, Frappe procides instructions dfor swlf-hosting ERPNext with Docker and Kubernetes:

- Docker: https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker

- Kubernetes: https://helm.erpnext.com

There's also a third-party Docker image from pipech that's easier to setup, but it's not always up to date:

Bitnami packages ERPNext in single-tier (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and virtual machine (local computer) offerings:

To anyone reading this, if you onpy need software for accountind and not an entire enterprise resource planning (ERP) suite, do yourself a favor and follow the advice in TFA to use GnuCash.

Yeah, sorry about that, you need to clone the repo and setup the ~/gitops directory first. That .yml file I posted gets generated automatically by following the steps in single-server-example. I didn't set up everything listed though. If you start at the top of that page, here are the steps I took:

Hey everyone, I'm trying to setup ERPNext using the Frappe Docker repository as a starting point to configure the Frappe framework and automatically setup ERPNext as a site in Frappe. I figured based on the compose.yml and pwd.yml examples in the repository I simply need two initContainers that initialize bench and set up a site with ERPNext as the app, but I have the feeling that Kubernetes isn't calling the commands/args the way I specified them in the init containers.

Author here. This is wrong information. Not sure where you are getting this from.

Also as I mentioned above, docker installs are actively supported.

I use ledger: https://ledger-cli.org/

I believe this same plain text format is used by other tools, which you can find info about here: https://plaintextaccounting.org/ (In particular a lot of people seem to use hledger and beancount)

The ledger is written using a text editor. The purpose of the software is to add everything up, calculate the balances and make sure everything balances. I keep all of my 12 years of accounting in one file and haven't noticed any slowdown. But a real business would surely have many more accounts and may want to split files by financial year or something.

I use helper scripts to convert the data from my bank CSV downloads into ledger format. It uses machine learning to associate payees to accounts (e.g. "Tesco" gets filed to the account "Expenses:Groceries"). I haven't maintained the ML part although it works for me most of the time. In case it's useful, the code is here: https://github.com/georgek/accounts/

I invite you to hang out in the https://plaintextaccounting.org/#news-discussion -> chats, we like to discuss tactics.

My attempt at solving the same problem https://paisa.fyi. It builds on top of https://plaintextaccounting.org/ principles and is available as a CLI/Desktop App.

The plain text accounting options are by far the best if you're willing to give up automatic pretty navigation and graphing.

Same: see also https://plaintextaccounting.org/

...the gist is "ledger.exe" (crufty-old-C-program) is the "perl" of plain-text-accounting. The implementation _is_ the specification.

"HLedger" (haskell) is the mostly-compatible ("now you have 15 standards!") which cleans up a bit of the crufty accidents and is considered more "pure" and "correct".

Mess with it for funsies, and consider using `hledger-ui` for browsing. It's really really powerful!

Specifically this part is super cool: https://ledger-cli.org/doc/ledger3.html#Commodities-and-Curr...

...and: https://ledger-cli.org/doc/ledger3.html#Currency-and-Commodi...

Implied exchange rates, arbitrary commodities/inventory. It gets into really heady territory pretty quick.

Does anyone know of in the spirit of something like plain text accounting (https://plaintextaccounting.org/) but adapted to integrate the complexities of a wealthy family? I intend to implement something myself, but was interesting if there was anything else out there.

The point would be to design something that substitutes for Addepar but with a sensibly organized sqlite db and csvs as "first class" sources of truth (and scripts to handle a variety of common functionality).

So it is really an exercise in understanding the correct architecture of various hierarchies, relationships, and categories in the context of a wealthy family.

All the major software out there just does not seem very good, have a principled handle on the fundamental and primitive relationships and operations that describe a family's financial affairs (everything done on an ad hoc basis). And because of this, entail complete data/platform lock-in.

I use Beancount; learned at https://plaintextaccounting.org/.

I use ledger (https://plaintextaccounting.org/) to manage my transactions in plain text and then generate reports. I copy/paste the transactions from pdfs received monthly in an Emacs Org file and then convert them to ledger format using ob-lc (https://github.com/jayrajput/ob-ledger-convert). There is a steep learning curve, but the results are awesome.
