ERPNext Data Access
Your accounting, stock, HR and manufacturing data lives in a self-hosted ERPNext install — reachable only through the Frappe UI on your network or via remote access. A small agent reads the MariaDB layer directly and gives your team a live, read-only web dashboard — without migrating to Frappe Cloud or re-platforming.
ERPNext & Frappe on-premise — MariaDB-backed installs
The ERPNext (Self-Hosted) Trapped-Data Problem
Internal-network only
Self-hosted ERPNext means data behind your firewall — lookups and reports need the UI on your LAN, or a remote session in.
DIY reporting burden
Custom DocTypes and bespoke workflows mean the answers exist in MariaDB but building reports means query-builder skills or a developer.
External access friction
Accountants, investors and auditors need a look inside — but that means user accounts on your system, or spreadsheet exports.
Hosting pressure
Self-hosting was the point — control, cost, data ownership. Moving to Frappe Cloud for easier access defeats the reason you self-hosted.
How It Works
Agent on your server
A lightweight agent installs beside your existing system — reads the data store directly, makes outbound connections only. No open ports, no VPN, no firewall changes.
Continuous replica
Your records flow to an encrypted, read-only cloud copy via a private tunnel — change-tracking, not dumps. The production system never takes the load.
Web dashboard
Your team searches, reports and browses from any browser or phone — scoped and audited. Answers from the data, not access to the server.
What Your Team Can Finally Do
Common ERPNext (Self-Hosted) Scenarios
Owners checking the business remotely
Orders, stock levels, cash position and open issues — from a phone without VPN or a Frappe login.
External accountants & auditors
Scoped, read-only access to ledgers and transactions — no user account on your system, full audit log.
Multi-company groups
Each entity's install runs an agent; group leadership gets one consolidated dashboard across companies.

ERPNext (Self-Hosted) Data Access FAQ
Does it work with custom DocTypes and apps?+
Yes — the agent reads MariaDB directly, so standard and custom DocTypes, plus other Frappe-framework apps, are all surfaced.
Does ERPNext keep working the same way?+
Yes — the agent reads alongside it. Your team keeps the Frappe UI they know; the dashboard is an addition, not a replacement.
Is this instead of moving to Frappe Cloud?+
If the goal is remote access and better reporting while keeping self-hosted control — yes. You keep your infrastructure and gain a modern web layer.
Can it write back to ERPNext?+
The default posture is read-only. Write-back workflows via the REST API are available on Enterprise plans after scoping.
