Quick start

Known issue on the current image (as of 2026-09-15) — First boot cannot create the site: `bench new-site erpnext.local` fails because bench's Redis Queue (127.0.0.1:11000) is not running yet, so there is no site, no Administrator password and no /var/lib/erpnext/admin-password. Workaround and fix status on the support page.

Deploy from the Azure Marketplace (Get It Now → Create), choosing your SSH key at the Administration step.
Allow inbound SSH (22) for yourself plus the application port(s): 80 (web UI) — restrict to your own IP where possible. The in-image firewall already allows them; only the Network Security Group (NSG) keeps them closed.
Wait for first boot to finish (5–10 minutes), map erpnext.local to the VM's IP in your hosts file, open http://erpnext.local/ and sign in as Administrator (see First login below).
Complete the setup wizard (company, fiscal year, chart of accounts), then attach your domain and enable HTTPS (bench setup lets-encrypt).

Get your admin password (one time)

ssh <your-username>@<VM-IP>
sudo cat /var/lib/erpnext/admin-password

The login is `Administrator` (not `admin`). The nginx site is named erpnext.local — reach it by that host name (hosts file or DNS) until you add your own domain. First boot can take 5–10 minutes before the site answers.

Common use cases
