Installing Odoo ERP on AWS using RDS and EC2

Installing Odoo on AWS

# Installing Odoo on AWS
These are the steps I ran to get Odoo up and running on AWS using the free tiers (for now).

## Setup servers

### Create DB
Create an Postgres DB on Amazon RDS:
https://us-east-2.console.aws.amazon.com/rds/home?region=us-east-2#launch-dbinstance:ct=dbinstances:

### Create Server
Create a EC2 Instance:
https://us-east-2.console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us-east-2#LaunchInstanceWizard:

## Install Odoo
Once those are created, ssh into your EC2 instance.

### Install Pre-requisites

    > wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.4/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
    > tar -xvf wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
    > cd wkhtmltox/bin/
    > sudo mv wkhtmltopdf /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf
    > sudo mv wkhtmltoimage /usr/bin/wkhtmltoimage
    > sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf
    > sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/wkhtmltoimage
    > cd 
    > sudo apt-get install libxrender1
    > sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1

### Install Odoo Binaries

    > sudo wget -O - https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key | sudo apt-key add -
    > sudo -s
Once in as root    
    > echo "deb http://nightly.odoo.com/11.0/nightly/deb/ ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.list
    > exit
    > sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install odoo
    > whereis odoo
      odoo: /usr/bin/odoo /etc/odoo
      
### Configure server

    > cd /etc/odoo/
    > sudo cp odoo.conf odoo.conf.orig

then add the following content:
db_host=<rds_db_instance>.rds.amazonaws.com
db_port=5432
db_name=odoo
db_user=<db_user_name>
db_password=<db_user_pw>
db_sslmode=prefer

email_from=<sender_address>

### Start the server

#### Service Start
    
    > /etc/init.d/odoo stop
    > /etc/init.d/odoo start
    
#### Manual Start
    
    > sudo -H -u odoo odoo -c /etc/odoo/odoo.conf -u all
