With ERPNext v14 I’m not able to create a new Website Theme. I’ve tested Versions up to 14.0.3.

git clone https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker
cd frappe_docker
cp example.env .env
mkdir ~/gitops
docker compose -f compose.yaml \
  -f overrides/compose.noproxy.yaml \
  -f overrides/compose.erpnext.yaml \
  -f overrides/compose.mariadb.yaml \
  -f overrides/compose.redis.yaml \
  config > ~/gitops/docker-compose.yml

docker compose --project-name example -f ~/gitops/docker-compose.yml up -d
docker exec example-backend-1 bench new-site localhost --mariadb-root-password 123 --admin-password secret --install-app erpnext

Someone solved this issue in this post by doing

Step 1: bench setup socketio
Step 2: bench setup requirements

However as far as I know this has to be done when creating the image.

can you try building the assets image like this? https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker/issues/919#issuecomment-1239305640

I think solved it for me. If that works, I’ll remove frappe/assets-builder and update documentation to build assets using frappe/bench
