docs: reorganize documentation structure with numbered navigation (#1729)
* docs: reorganize documentation structure into logical categories

Restructure documentation into organized directories for better navigation:

- getting-started/: Quick start guides for new users
- setup/: Setup and configuration guides
- production/: Production deployment guides (backup, TLS, multi-tenancy)
- operations/: Site operations and management
- development/: Development workflow guides
- migration/: Migration guides
- troubleshooting/: Troubleshooting guides
- reference/: Reference documentation (container setup, build configs)

Rename files for consistency:
- Use kebab-case naming convention throughout
- Remove numbered prefixes from container-setup files
- Use descriptive names (backup-strategy, tls-ssl-setup, etc.)

Update all internal cross-references to reflect new file locations.
Update README.md with organized documentation structure.
Fix image paths in development.md to use correct relative paths.

* docs: add numeric prefixes to directories and files for navigation order

Add numeric prefixes (01-08) to documentation directories to indicate
reading order and flow for first-time users:

- 01-getting-started: Quick start guides
- 02-setup: Setup and configuration
- 03-production: Production deployment
- 04-operations: Site operations
- 05-development: Development guides
- 06-migration: Migration guides
- 07-troubleshooting: Troubleshooting
- 08-reference: Reference documentation

Add numeric prefixes to files within directories to guide readers
through documentation in a logical sequence.

Update all cross-references throughout documentation to use new
numbered paths. Update README.md to reflect the new structure.

* docs: move container-setup to 02-setup and integrate setup-options content

Move container-setup directory from 08-reference/ to 02-setup/ to follow
PR feedback. The container-setup documentation provides a more linear
and coherent flow compared to the previous unstructured setup files.

Changes:
- Move container-setup/ from docs/08-reference/ to docs/02-setup/
- Integrate content from setup-options.md into structured flow:
  - Create new 06-setup-examples.md with practical deployment scenarios
  - Enhance 03-start-setup.md with site creation details from setup-options
  - Remove redundant 01-setup-options.md (content now integrated)
- Rename 02-single-server-example.md to 07-single-server-example.md
- Update all cross-references throughout documentation:
  - Update README.md with new structure under Setup section
  - Fix links in site-operations.md and migration docs
  - Add navigation links between container-setup files and examples
- Maintain container-setup's linear flow: overview → build → start → env → overrides
- Add practical examples document (06-setup-examples.md) that follows the container-setup guide

Result: Documentation now follows a clear progression from conceptual
overview through practical examples, with all setup information properly
organized under 02-setup/.

* docs: remove container-setup subfolder and flatten structure

Move all files from docs/02-setup/container-setup/ directly into docs/02-setup/
to eliminate unnecessary subfolder. Files are already numbered sequentially,
so they work perfectly at the same level.

Changes:
- Move all files from container-setup/ subfolder to 02-setup/ root
- Remove container-setup/ subfolder
- Update all cross-references:
  - Update README.md paths (remove container-setup/ from all links)
  - Fix references in site-operations.md
  - Fix references in migration docs
  - Update internal references in 06-setup-examples.md
  - Fix relative path references in 01-overview.md, 02-build-setup.md, 03-start-setup.md

Result: Cleaner, flatter structure with all numbered setup files at the
same level, making navigation more straightforward.

* fix: Pre-commit failure is fixed

Everything about Frappe and ERPNext in containers.

Getting Started

New to Frappe Docker? Read the Getting Started Guide for a comprehensive overview of repository structure, development workflow, custom apps, Docker concepts, and quick start examples.

To get started you need Docker, docker-compose, and git setup on your machine. For Docker basics and best practices refer to Docker's documentation.

Once completed, chose one of the following two sections for next steps.

Try in Play With Docker

To play in an already set up sandbox, in your browser, click the button below:

Try in PWD

Try on your Dev environment

First clone the repo:

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

Then run: docker compose -f pwd.yml up -d

To run on ARM64 architecture follow this instructions

After you clone the repo and cd frappe_docker, run this command to build multi-architecture images specifically for ARM64.

docker buildx bake --no-cache --set "*.platform=linux/arm64"

and then

  • add platform: linux/arm64 to all services in the pwd.yml
  • replace the current specified versions of erpnext image on pwd.yml with :latest

Then run: docker compose -f pwd.yml up -d

Final steps

Wait for 5 minutes for ERPNext site to be created or check create-site container logs before opening browser on port 8080. (username: Administrator, password: admin)

If you ran in a Dev Docker environment, to view container logs: docker compose -f pwd.yml logs -f create-site. Don't worry about some of the initial error messages, some services take a while to become ready, and then they go away.
