+title: Automated Builds and Deployment
+---
+
+# Introduction
+
+This is a brief guide to automated builds and deployment for custom Frappe images.
+Depending on your specific setup, environment and security rules, the information below may need to be adapted to your needs.
+
+# Requirements
+
+## Knowledge
+
+Basic knowledge of Docker and build pipelines is expected.
+
+Please refer to the Setup chapter first, especially [Build Setup](../02-setup/02-build-setup.md), for basic understanding.
+
+## Additional Files
+
+### Apps
+
+At build time an `apps.json` file can be provided. This specifies additional Frappe framework compatible apps to include in custom images.
+
+### Build
+
+A workflow file for your CI platform and environment is required.
+
+## Build Cache
+
+Unlike manual builds, automated build commands should generally not use `--no-cache`.
+
+Reusing cached layers can greatly reduce build times, disk usage, and bandwidth usage when pushing to image registries.
+
+Instead, `CACHE_BUST` can be used to control cache invalidation of the Frappe layer when rebuilding is desired.
+
+This is especially relevant because `apps.json` is provided as a secret. Secret contents are not part of Docker layer cache keys and therefore cannot trigger cache invalidation automatically.
+
+As a result, Docker may reuse an older cached layer even when the custom app definition has changed.
+
+Exception: Newer releases of the Frappe framework may still trigger rebuilding the layer.
+
+### Possible techniques for cache invalidation using `CACHE_BUST`:
+
+1. No override: normal Docker layer caching is used - not recommended in this use case
+2. Timestamp: force a rebuild on every pipeline run - since the value will change every run
+3. Pipeline run ID: rebuild once per CI run
+4. Commit SHA: rebuild once per commit
+5. apps.json hash: rebuild only when the custom app definition changes - additional requirements, see below example
+
+### Examples:
+
+#### 1. No override - not recommended
+
+This will reuse a previously build layer and won't check for app updates except Frappe framework
+
+```yaml
+- name: Build Docker image
+  shell: sh
+  run: |
+    docker build \
+      --build-arg=FRAPPE_PATH=https://github.com/frappe/frappe \
+      --build-arg=FRAPPE_BRANCH=version-16 \
+      --secret=id=apps_json,src=apps.json \
+      --tag=custom:16 \
+      --file=images/layered/Containerfile .
+```
+
+#### 2. Timestamp
+
+```yaml
+- name: Build Docker image
+  shell: sh
+  run: |
+    docker build \
+      --build-arg=FRAPPE_PATH=https://github.com/frappe/frappe \
+      --build-arg=FRAPPE_BRANCH=version-16 \
+      --build-arg=CACHE_BUST="$(date +%s)" \
+      --secret=id=apps_json,src=apps.json \
+      --tag=custom:16 \
+      --file=images/layered/Containerfile .
+```
+
+#### 3. Pipeline run ID from GitHub
+
+```yaml
+- name: Build Docker image
+  shell: sh
+  run: |
+    docker build \
+      --build-arg=FRAPPE_PATH=https://github.com/frappe/frappe \
+      --build-arg=FRAPPE_BRANCH=version-16 \
+      --build-arg=CACHE_BUST="$GITHUB_RUN_ID" \
+      --secret=id=apps_json,src=apps.json \
+      --tag=custom:16 \
+      --file=images/layered/Containerfile .
+```
+
+#### 4. Commit SHA from GitHub
+
+```yaml
+- name: Build Docker image
+  shell: sh
+  run: |
+    docker build \
+      --build-arg=FRAPPE_PATH=https://github.com/frappe/frappe \
+      --build-arg=FRAPPE_BRANCH=version-16 \
+      --build-arg=CACHE_BUST="$GITHUB_SHA" \
+      --secret=id=apps_json,src=apps.json \
+      --tag=custom:16 \
+      --file=images/layered/Containerfile .
+```
+
+#### 5. apps.json hash
+
+Note: When using branch references in `apps.json`, the hash only changes when the file content changes, not when an upstream app branch receives updates. This method works best when pinning specific commits or releases.
+
+```yaml
+- name: Build Docker image
+  shell: sh
+  run: |
+    docker build \
+      --build-arg=FRAPPE_PATH=https://github.com/frappe/frappe \
+      --build-arg=FRAPPE_BRANCH=version-16 \
+      --build-arg=CACHE_BUST="$(sha256sum apps.json | awk '{print $1}')" \
+      --secret=id=apps_json,src=apps.json \
+      --tag=custom:16 \
+      --file=images/layered/Containerfile .
+```
+
+## Automated deployment
+
+### Automate site migration
+
+After updating a custom image or deploying new app versions, a database migration
+must be executed using `bench migrate`.
+
+Without running migrations, the site may become inconsistent or fail to start properly.
+
+For automated deployments, this step should not be performed manually.
+
+Consider using the dedicated `migrator` service provided as a Compose override.
+It ensures that migrations are executed automatically when the stack starts.
+
+This approach is especially useful in CI/CD pipelines where no interactive access
+to the backend container is available.
+
+See [Compose override](../../overrides/compose.migrator.yaml)

+
+# Docker Development Setup
+
+A complete guide for setting up a Frappe development environment on x86 and ARM based computers running UNIX based OSes by running containers directly and working inside them via the terminal. No VS Code Dev Containers extension needed.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Devcontainers are the intended development setup for Frappe Framework but in case you don't want to use that method follow these instructions to use the CLI directly instead
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **Docker Desktop** (Applicable only for MacOS) — [download here](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/)
+- **Git**
+- A terminal (iTerm2, or the built-in Terminal.app)
+
+### Docker Desktop Resource Allocation (Critical)
+
+1. Open Docker Desktop → **Settings** → **Resources**
+2. **Memory**: at least **6 GB** (8 GB recommended)
+3. **CPUs**: at least **4**
+4. **Disk image size**: at least **60 GB**
+5. Click **Apply & Restart**
+
+---
+
+## Step 1 — Set ARM64 as Default Platform (ONLY FOR ARM BASED SYSTEMS)
+
+```bash
+export DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/arm64
+```
+
+Make it permanent:
+
+```bash
+echo 'export DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/arm64' >> ~/.zshrc
+source ~/.zshrc
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 2 — Clone the Repo
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker.git
+cd frappe_docker
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 3 — Set Up the Dev Container Config
+
+The `devcontainer-example/` folder contains a ready-made `docker-compose.yml` for development. Copy it into place:
+
+```bash
+cp -R devcontainer-example .devcontainer
+```
+
+This gives you `.devcontainer/docker-compose.yml` which defines all the services you need:
+
+- `frappe` — the main development container (Debian, Python, Node, bench)
+- `mariadb` — the database
+- `redis-cache` — cache layer
+- `redis-queue` — background job queue
+
+---
+
+## Step 4 — Add ARM64 Platform to All Services
+
+Open `.devcontainer/docker-compose.yml` in any editor and add `platform: linux/arm64` to every service block. It should look like this:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  frappe:
+    image: frappe/bench:latest
+    platform: linux/arm64
+    # ... rest of config
+
+  mariadb:
+    image: mariadb:10.8
+    platform: linux/arm64
+    # ...
+
+  redis-cache:
+    image: redis:6.2-alpine
+    platform: linux/arm64
+    # ...
+
+  redis-queue:
+    image: redis:6.2-alpine
+    platform: linux/arm64
+    # ...
+```
+
+> Without this, Docker may pull amd64 images and emulate them via Rosetta — things will work but be noticeably slower.
+
+---
+
+## Step 5 — Start the Containers
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f .devcontainer/docker-compose.yml up -d
+```
+
+Verify everything is running:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f .devcontainer/docker-compose.yml ps
+```
+
+You should see all services with status `Up`.
+
+In case you get any errors along the lines of,
+
+```log
+Error response from daemon: failed to set up container networking: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint devcontainer-frappe-1 (44b337b68d100e914fab0ce446ed08d791cc73aaffb05cf47c347c00ff88f567): Bind for 0.0.0.0:9001 failed: port is already allocated
+```
+
+- Check if the port is being used by another service with `lsof -i :PORT`
+  > Usually on MacOS ports 8000 and 9000 are usually reserved for system use
+- Go to line 60 and 61 under the `frappe` service and change the ports
+
+Eg:
+
+```
+ports:
+      - 8001-8005:8001-8005
+      - 9002-9005:9002-9005
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 6 — Enter the Development Container
+
+```bash
+docker exec -e "TERM=xterm-256color" -w /workspace/development -it devcontainer-frappe-1 bash
+```
+
+> The container name is typically `devcontainer-frappe-1`. If it differs, check with `docker ps` and use the actual name shown.
+
+You are now inside the container as the `frappe` user. All subsequent commands in this guide run **inside the container** unless noted otherwise.
+
+---
+
+## Step 7 — Initialize a Bench
+
+```bash
+bench init --skip-redis-config-generation --frappe-branch version-16 frappe-bench
+cd frappe-bench
+```
+
+Use `version-16` for the latest stable release. Swap for `version-15` if needed.
+
+This creates:
+
+```
+development/
+└── frappe-bench/
+    ├── apps/          ← All Frappe apps live here
+    ├── sites/         ← Your sites (databases, uploaded files)
+    ├── env/           ← Python virtualenv
+    ├── logs/
+    └── Procfile
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 8 — Configure Service Hosts
+
+Tell bench to use the containerised services (not localhost):
+
+```bash
+bench set-config -g db_host mariadb
+bench set-config -g redis_cache redis://redis-cache:6379
+bench set-config -g redis_queue redis://redis-queue:6379
+bench set-config -g redis_socketio redis://redis-queue:6379
+```
+
+If any command fails, edit the file directly:
+
+```bash
+nano sites/common_site_config.json
+```
+
+Paste:
+
+```json
+{
+  "db_host": "mariadb",
+  "redis_cache": "redis://redis-cache:6379",
+  "redis_queue": "redis://redis-queue:6379",
+  "redis_socketio": "redis://redis-queue:6379"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 9 — Fix the Procfile
+
+Redis runs in separate containers, so remove it from Honcho's Procfile to avoid conflicts:
+
+```bash
+sudo sed -i '/redis/d' ./Procfile
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 10 — Create a Site
+
+```bash
+bench new-site \
+  --db-root-password 123 \
+  --admin-password admin \
+  --mariadb-user-host-login-scope=% \
+  development.localhost
+```
+
+- MariaDB root password: `123` (set in the docker-compose defaults)
+- Admin password: `admin` (change this to whatever you want)
+- Site name **must end in `.localhost`**
+
+---
+
+## Step 11 — Enable Developer Mode
+
+```bash
+bench --site development.localhost set-config developer_mode 1
+bench --site development.localhost clear-cache
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 12 — Add development.localhost to /etc/hosts (on your Mac)
+
+Run this **on your Mac** (not inside the container):
+
+```bash
+echo "127.0.0.1 development.localhost" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 13 — Start the Dev Server
+
+```bash
+bench build # (optional)
+bench start
+```
+
+Open your browser at **http://development.localhost:8000**
+Login: `Administrator` / `admin`

+title: How Assets are handled
+---
+
+# Assets Reference
+
+## Problem
+
+The `sites` directory contains both persistent data (site config, uploaded files, etc.) and build-time artifacts (`sites/assets`). Mounting the entire `sites` directory as a Docker volume causes assets to be persisted alongside config, which leads to:
+
+- Stale assets surviving image updates
+- Asset/manifest mismatches after rebuilds
+- Assets being tied to the volume lifecycle rather than the image lifecycle
+
+## Solution
+
+Assets are moved out of the `sites` volume during the build process and replaced with a **symlink** later on. This means assets are always served from the image layer, while the rest of `sites` remains persistent.
+
+### How it works
+
+During the image build (`Containerfile`), the following is done:
+
+```dockerfile
+RUN cp -r /home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites/assets /home/frappe/frappe-bench/assets && \
+  rm -rf /home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites/assets
+```
+
+This runs **before** the `VOLUME` declaration, so the **`sites` volume does not contain any assets at all**.
+
+Additionally an `ENTRYPOINT` is added to the images which adds a **symlink** from `assets` to `site\assets`.
+
+> This is implemented in the entrypoint instead of baking the symlink directly into the image so it also works with pre-existing or already-initialized `sites` volumes.
+> Since mounting a volume over `/home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites` hides the image contents at that path, any symlink created during the image build would not be visible inside the mounted volume. The entrypoint recreates the symlink at container startup, ensuring it always exists and automatically repairing older volumes that may not already contain it.
+
+At runtime:
+
+```
+/home/frappe/frappe-bench/
+├── assets/          ← image layer (ephemeral, always matches the image)
+├── sites/
+│   ├── assets -> /home/frappe/frappe-bench/assets    ← symlink
+│   ├── common_site_config.json                       ← persisted in volume
+│   └── <site>/                                       ← persisted in volume
+└── logs/            ← persisted in volume
+```
+
+### Volume behavior
+
+| Path                       | Persistent              | Source                 |
+| -------------------------- | ----------------------- | ---------------------- |
+| `sites/` (except assets)   | ✅ Yes                  | Named volume (`sites`) |
+| `sites/assets` (symlink)   | ✅ Yes (symlink itself) | Named volume (`sites`) |
+| `assets/` (symlink target) | ❌ No                   | Image layer            |
+| `logs/`                    | ✅ Yes                  | Unnamed volume         |
+
+The `sites/assets` symlink is stored inside the persistent `sites` volume, but its target (`/home/frappe/frappe-bench/assets`) comes from the container image. When the container is recreated or upgraded, the assets directory is recreated from the new image, ensuring assets always stay in sync with the running version.
+
+## Important: `bench build` at runtime
+
+Running `bench build` inside a running container will write new assets and eventually cause a mismatch between `assets.json` and the actual assets, breaking the UI. This can be recovered by recreating the containers
+
+> Note: restarting the containers is not sufficient — they need to be recreated to discard the writable layer.
