# What is Odoo?
|
|
|
|
Odoo, formerly known as OpenERP, is a suite of open-source business apps
|
|
written in Python and released under the AGPL license. This suite of
|
|
applications covers all business needs, from Website/Ecommerce down to
|
|
manufacturing, inventory and accounting, all seamlessly integrated. It is the
|
|
first time ever a software editor managed to reach such a functional coverage.
|
|
Odoo is the most installed business software in the world. Odoo is used by
|
|
2.000.000 users worldwide ranging from very small companies (1 user) to very
|
|
large ones (300 000 users).

# How to use this image
|
|
|
|
This image requires a running PostgreSQL server.
|
|
|
|
## Start a PostgreSQL server
|
|
|
|
docker run -d -e POSTGRES_USER=odoo -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=odoo --name db postgres
|
|
|
|
## Start an Odoo instance
|
|
|
|
docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8069:8069 --name odoo --link db:db -t odoo
|
|
|
|
The alias of the container running Postgres must be db for Odoo to be able
|
|
to connect to the Postgres server.
|
|
|
|
## Stop and restart an Odoo instance
|
|
|
|
docker stop odoo
|
|
docker start -a odoo
|
|
|
|
## Stop and restart a PostgreSQL server
|
|
When a PostgreSQL server is restarted, the Odoo instances
|
|
linked to that server must be restarted as well because the server address has
|
|
changed and the link is thus broken.
|
|
|
|
Restarting a PostgreSQL server does not affect the created databases.
|
|
|
|
## Run Odoo with a custom configuration
|
|
|
|
The default configuration file for the server (located at `/etc/odoo/openerp-server.conf`)
|
|
can be overriden at startup using volumes. Suppose you have a custom configuration
|
|
at `/path/to/config/openerp-server.conf`, then
|
|
|
|
docker run -v /path/to/config:/etc/odoo -p 127.0.0.1:8069:8069 --name odoo --link db:db -t odoo
|
|
|
|
## Run multiple Odoo instances
|
|
|
|
docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8070:8069 --name odoo2 --link db:db -t odoo
|
|
docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8071:8069 --name odoo3 --link db:db -t odoo
|
|
|
|
Please note that for plain use of mails and reports functionalities, when the
|
|
host and container ports differ (e.g. 8070 and 8069), one has to set,
|
|
in Odoo, Settings->Parameters->System Parameters (requires technical features),
|
|
web.base.url to the container port (e.g. 127.0.0.1:8069).
|
|
|
|
# How to upgrade this image
|
|
Suppose you created a database from an Odoo instance named old-odoo, and you
|
|
want to access this database from a new Odoo instance named new-odoo, e.g.
|
|
because you've just downloaded a newer Odoo image.
|
|
|
|
By default, Odoo 8.0 uses a filestore (located at /var/lib/odoo/.local/share/Odoo/filestore/)
|
|
for attachments. You should restore this filestore in your new Odoo instance by
|
|
running
|
|
|
|
docker run --volumes-from old-odoo -p 127.0.0.1:8070:8069 --name new-odoo --link db:db -t odoo
|
|
|
|
You can also simply prevent Odoo from using the filestore by setting the system
|
|
parameter `ir_attachment.location` to `db-storage` in Settings->Parameters->System
|
|
Parameters (requires technical features).
