What is Odoo?

Odoo, formerly known as OpenERP, is a suite of open-source business apps written in Python and released under the LGPL 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

console
$ docker run -d -e POSTGRES_USER=odoo -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=odoo -e POSTGRES_DB=postgres --name db postgres:15

Start an Odoo instance

console
$ docker run -p 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

console
$ docker stop odoo
$ docker start -a odoo

Use named volumes to preserve data

When the Odoo container is created like described above, the odoo filestore is created inside the container. If the container is removed, the filestore is lost. The preferred way to prevent that is by using a Docker named volume.

console
$ docker run -v odoo-data:/var/lib/odoo -d -p 8069:8069 --name odoo --link db:db -t odoo

With the above command, the volume named odoo-data will persist even if the container is removed and can be re-used by issuing the same command.

The path /var/lib/odoo used as the mount point of the volume must match the odoo data_dir in the config file or as CLI parameters.

Note that the same principle applies to the Postgresql container and a named volume can be used to preserve the database when the container is removed. So the database container could be started like this (before the odoo container):

console
$ docker run -d -v odoo-db:/var/lib/postgresql/data -e POSTGRES_USER=odoo -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=odoo -e POSTGRES_DB=postgres --name db postgres:15

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/odoo.conf) can be overriden at startup using volumes. Suppose you have a custom configuration at /path/to/config/odoo.conf, then

console
$ docker run -v /path/to/config:/etc/odoo -p 8069:8069 --name odoo --link db:db -t odoo

Please use https://github.com/odoo/docker/blob/master/17.0/odoo.conf to write your custom configuration as we already set some arguments for running Odoo inside a Docker container.

You can also directly specify Odoo arguments inline. Those arguments must be given after the keyword -- in the command-line, as follows

console
$ docker run -p 8069:8069 --name odoo --link db:db -t odoo -- --db-filter=odoo_db_.*

Mount custom addons

You can mount your own Odoo addons within the Odoo container, at /mnt/extra-addons

console
$ docker run -v /path/to/addons:/mnt/extra-addons -p 8069:8069 --name odoo --link db:db -t odoo

Note: Altough there is no official Odoo Enterprise Docker image, the Enterprise modules can be mounted by using the above mentionned method.

Run multiple Odoo instances

console
$ docker run -p 8070:8069 --name odoo2 --link db:db -t odoo
$ docker run -p 8071:8069 --name odoo3 --link db:db -t odoo

Note: 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).

Environment Variables

Tweak these environment variables to easily connect to a postgres server:

• HOST: The address of the postgres server. If you used a postgres container, set to the name of the container. Defaults to db.
• PORT: The port the postgres server is listening to. Defaults to 5432.
• USER: The postgres role with which Odoo will connect. If you used a postgres container, set to the same value as POSTGRES_USER. Defaults to odoo.
• PASSWORD: The password of the postgres role with which Odoo will connect. If you used a postgres container, set to the same value as POSTGRES_PASSWORD. Defaults to odoo.

Docker Compose examples

The simplest compose.yaml file would be:

yml
services:
  web:
    image: odoo:17.0
    depends_on:
      - db
    ports:
      - "8069:8069"
  db:
    image: postgres:15
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_DB=postgres
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=odoo
      - POSTGRES_USER=odoo

If the default postgres credentials does not suit you, tweak the environment variables:

yml
services:
  web:
    image: odoo:17.0
    depends_on:
      - mydb
    ports:
      - "8069:8069"
    environment:
      - HOST=mydb
      - USER=odoo
      - PASSWORD=myodoo
  mydb:
    image: postgres:15
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_DB=postgres
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=myodoo
      - POSTGRES_USER=odoo

Here's a last example showing you how to

• mount custom addons located in ./addons
• use a custom configuration file located in .config/odoo.conf
• use named volumes for the Odoo and postgres data dir
• use a secrets file named odoo_pg_pass that contains the postgreql password shared by both services

yml
services:
  web:
    image: odoo:17.0
    depends_on:
      - db
    ports:
      - "8069:8069"
    volumes:
      - odoo-web-data:/var/lib/odoo
      - ./config:/etc/odoo
      - ./addons:/mnt/extra-addons
    environment:
      - PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/postgresql_password
    secrets:
      - postgresql_password
  db:
    image: postgres:15
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_DB=postgres
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/postgresql_password
      - POSTGRES_USER=odoo
      - PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata
    volumes:
      - odoo-db-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata
    secrets:
      - postgresql_password
volumes:
  odoo-web-data:
  odoo-db-data:

secrets:
  postgresql_password:
    file: odoo_pg_pass

To start your Odoo instance, go in the directory of the compose.yaml file you created from the previous examples and type:

console
docker compose up -d

How to upgrade this image

Odoo images are updated on a regular basis to make them use recent releases (a new release of each version of Odoo is built every night). Please be aware that what follows is about upgrading from an old release to the latest one provided of the same major version, as upgrading from a major version to another is a much more complex process requiring elaborated migration scripts (see Odoo Upgrade page or this https://github.com/OCA/OpenUpgrade which aims to write those scripts).

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 16.0+ uses a filestore (located at /var/lib/odoo/filestore/) for attachments. You should restore this filestore in your new Odoo instance by running

console
$ docker run --volumes-from old-odoo -p 8070:8069 --name new-odoo --link db:db -t odoo
