Add EspoCRM version to install script options

[AlexxxH]

I'm building a custom EspoCRM extension, which I have tested for compatibility against particular EspoCRM versions. I'd like to be able to specify an EspoCRM version when installing EspoCRM by script, to ensure that my extension will function properly.

Currently the install script runs docker compose which pulls the espocrm image from the Docker hub, e.g. espocrm/espocrm:fpm, which is the latest version. There are images for previous EspoCRM versions on the Docker hub, e.g. espocrm/espocrm:7.5.6-fpm.

Could you add a version option to the EspoCRM install options, to allow an EspoCRM version to be specified? This could then be used in the docker compose files to pull the EspoCRM image with that version.

@AlexxxH did you ever find a solution to this problem?

This script is designed to install the latest production release.
There is no reason to install older releases for the production.
For development purposes, please use https://github.com/tmachyshyn/espocrm-environment.

Thanks for your response.

There is no reason to install older releases for the production.

We have built an espocrm extension which is incompatible with v9 of espocrm. In the long term, we would like to fix our extension so that it works with v9. However, in the short term, for new production instances, we will need to install espocrm v8. We have been using the install script to set up new production instances, but we can't do that right now because of this limitation.
