ERPNext Version 15 Install in Production Mode - Nginx Supervirsor Gunicorn

----- NOW deploy it in production mode - on nginx server -------

Let us install nginx and supervisor at his stage

sudo apt install nginx supervisor

Change the ownership to erpgulf user for supervisor service. Otherwise it will fail to restart whenever you are doing an update.

sudo vim /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf

Under [unix_http_server] section and also under [supervisord]

uncomment or add chown=erpgulf:erpgulf

Setup supervisor and nginx for Frappe.

su erpgulf ( if you are not already in that user , use whoami command to check )

cd /opt/bench/frappe-bench/

bench setup supervisor --yes

bench setup nginx

Copy setup file from bench folder to supervisor/nginx conf.d folder

sudo ln -s `pwd`/config/supervisor.conf /etc/supervisor/conf.d/frappe-bench.conf

 sudo ln -s `pwd`/config/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/frappe-bench.conf

Remove the standard nginx sites. To avoid conflict and to avoid security vunlerabities

sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

-----------------------------

Make changes on site_config.json ( inside site/site_name folder )

vim /opt/bench/frappe-bench/sites/xxxx-site_name/site_config.json

To make it non-development mode

 "developer_mode": 0,

sample below.

{

"db_name": "_7beb69e70202137e",

"db_password": "GiZeZxy4GPxfTzFA",

"db_type": "mariadb",

"developer_mode": 0,

"encryption_key": "iVahvGBPKPWWYQwqyxxxxxx7dMazzSX4SEClEtDzdQ=",

"host_name": "https://mysite.erpgulf.com:1203",

"user_type_doctype_limit": {

 "employee_self_service": 10

},

}

Restart supervisor and nginx servers

sudo systemctl enable supervisor

 sudo systemctl enable nginx ( You may encounter an error " unknown log format "main" , please see the Note-1 to know how to handle )

Make sure both supervisor and nginx working

service supervisor status

service nginx status

( Result will have a line with Active: active (running) since )

--------------------

Open the browser. Now you can see the portal on standard http port http://your-site-name.erpgulf.com/

Next step is Letsencrypt and SSL

It's explained here https://erpgulf.com/blog/support-forum/letsencrypt-on-ubuntu-version-20-for-erpnext

Note 1: *

If you face problem with nginx because of log type error ( log type main not found or something like that )

sudo vim /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and add following on http section.

log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" ' '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" ' '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
