sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
- Create the Odoo system user:
sudo adduser --system --home=/opt/odoo --group odoo
- Create the log directory
sudo mkdir /var/log/odoo
- Install Odoo Server Files from Source
- Change to the Odoo directory, in our case:
cd /opt/odoo/
- Clone the Odoo files on your server:
sudo git clone https://www.github.com/odoo/odoo --depth 1 --branch 9.0 --single-branch .
- Switch to postgres user:
sudo su - postgres
- But if you’re deploying a Production server, you may want to set a strong password for the database user:
createuser odoo -U postgres -dRSP
password:postgres
- You’ll be prompted for a password, save it, we’ll need it shortly.
Note: In the scenario of a testing or development environment you could create a user with no
password
usingcreateuser odoo -U postgres -dRS
- Press CTRL+D to exit from
postgres
user session. If you want to run multiple Odoo instances on the sameLinode
remember to checkpg_hba.conf
and change it according your needs.
Using pip
instead of apt-get
will guarantee that your installation has the correct versions needed. We’ll also abstain of using Ubuntu’s packaged versions of Wkhtmltopdf and node-less.
Install Python libraries using the following commands:
sudo pip install -r /opt/odoo/doc/requirements.txt
sudo pip install -r /opt/odoo/requirements.txt
-
Download the nodejs installation script from nodesource:
wget -qO- https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash -
-
Now that our repository list is updated install nodejs using apt-get:
sudo apt-get install nodejs
- Time to install a newer version of Less via npm:
sudo npm install -g less less-plugin-clean-css
-
Switch to the
/tmp/
directory:cd /tmp/
-
Download the recommended version of wkhtmltopdf for Odoo server, currently 0.12.1:
sudo wget http://download.gna.org/wkhtmltopdf/0.12/0.12.1/wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb
-
Install the package using
dpkg
:sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb
-
To function properly we’ll need to copy the binaries to an adequate location:
sudo cp /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf /usr/bin sudo cp /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltoimage /usr/bin
-
Copy the included configuration file to a more convenient location, changing its name to odoo-server.conf:
sudo cp /opt/odoo/debian/openerp-server.conf /etc/odoo-server.conf
-
Next we need to modify the configuration file. The finished file should look similar to this depending on your deploying needs: File: /etc/odoo-server.conf
[options] admin_passwd = admin db_host = False db_port = False db_user = odoo db_password = <PostgreSQL_user_password> addons_path = /opt/odoo/addons logfile = /var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log xmlrpc_port = 8069
admin_passwd = admin
This is the password that allows database operations.db_host = False
Unless you plan to connect to a different database server address, leave this line untouched.db_port = False
Odoo uses PostgreSQL default port 5432, change only if necessary.db_user = odoo
Database user, in this case we used the default name.db_password =
The previously created PostgreSQL user password.addons_path =
We need to modify this line to read:addons_path = /opt/odoo/addons
. Add</path/to/custom/modules>
if needed. We need to include the path to log files adding a new line:logfile = /var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log
. Optionally we could include a new line specifying the Odoo Frontend port used for connection:xmlrpc_port = 8069
. This only makes sense if you’re planning to run multiple Odoo instances (or versions) on the same server. For normal installation you could skip this line and Odoo will connect by default to port 8069.
How can i open vscode from a system user to create modules?
