I’m hoping to migrate over from PostBooks. Very familiar with how that connects to PostgreSQL, but am challenged with Tryton since my knowledge is very limited to what I have figured out before. I installed the 5.0 lts desktop client on Windows 10 and it seems to run the demo just fine. In Postgr…

Hello @jayd , welcome to Tryton :slight_smile:. In fact tryton, as you said, is just a client that can connect to a trytond server. You need to install this server, which will in turn connects to the backend of your choice (usually PostgreSQL indeed). You might want to start with a docker image a…

Thank you very much - I do have a PostgreSQL server set up already, was using that for PostBooks. Set up a fresh database for Tryton, and I believe I am having trouble with the trytond.conf file. I will try the docker image on another windows 10 later today and see if that is helpful.

[image] jayd: I am having trouble with the trytond.conf file You can find the description of the file at Configuration file — Tryton server

Thank you! I have read that through many times but I think I am confused about this part of that: [image] jayd: There was no folder named “tryton” in my etc folder in the Tryton 5.0 folder on my c drive for the trytond.config file. I only found a .config file in the docs folder. A trytond.appl…

[image] jayd: I’ve assumed that I do not need to initiate the PostgreSQL server as directed in the documentation, because this only refers to the web server You always need to run the server even if you use the desktop client. Tryton is based on a three-tiers architecture not matter the pres…

Just to be clear - I understand I need the PostgreSQL server for the database - but do I need to go through this initiation step if the desktop client is working? Am I correct that this step only applies to the web server that the client runs on in the browser?

[image] jayd: do I need to go through this initiation step if the desktop client is working? Yes. [image] jayd: Am I correct that this step only applies to the web server that the client runs on in the browser? No, you always need the application tiers which is the trytond server.

Ok thanks - so there are not two “servers”, one for the database and one for the client app - there is only one? Back to the tryton.config file - adding the tryton folder in the etc file with the tryton.config.py file inside is on the right track then or do I need to use the trytond.application.ap…

What you are trying to do is connecting with the tryton-client directly to the database. But you must connect with the tryton-client to the tryton-server. The tryton-server then connects to the database. In this situation you can have multiple tryton-clients connected to a tryton-server at the same …

I think there are still some misunderstanding here. The screenshot you are showing is clearly the folder of the client installation. You do not need to touch this at all. You must install the tryton server named trytond inside a Python environment using for example pip etc. We do not provide any e…
