I use beancount for my personal finances and Odoo as well as ERPnext for my company.

ERPnext is my favourite while Odoo currently supports the taxation in my country (Germany) a bit better...

Any tips for getting ERPNext up and running? I just spent a weekend of yak-shaving, and I get to the point where nginx is routing my requests to the “bench start” process, but refuses to serve a page.

Frappe Cloud is by far the easiest way to run an ERPNext instance if 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:

- Frappe Cloud: https://frappecloud.com

In addition to the Frappe Bench setup process, Frappe provides instructions for self-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:

- Third-party Docker (pipech): https://hub.docker.com/r/pipech/erpnext-docker-debian

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

- Bitnami: https://bitnami.com/stack/erpnext

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

Thank you, I’ll check these out.

I resisted Frappe Cloud because I want to own my ERP code and run it on my own server.

I recently started using Beancount, and liked the concept of plain text accounting so much, I want an ERP with the same spirit.

Edit: I'm building this at plaintexterp.com.

I currently just use a Cloud offering, but I also have setting it up on my own server on my ToDo list

May you have more luck than me! If you figure it out, I'd love to read about it. The official documentation... leaves something to be desired.
