What is Odoo?

Odoo is a suite of web based open source business apps. Odoo Apps can be used as stand-alone applications, but they also integrate seamlessly so you get a full-featured Open Source ERP when you install several Apps.

Prerequisites

To run this application you need Docker Engine 1.10.0. Docker Compose is recomended with a version 1.6.0 or later.

How to use this image

Run Odoo with a Database Container

Running Odoo with a database server is the recommended way. You can either use docker-compose or run the containers manually.

Run the application using Docker Compose

This is the recommended way to run Odoo. You can use the following docker compose template:

version: '2'

services:
  postgresql:
    image: 'bitnami/postgresql:latest'
    volumes:
      - 'postgresql_data:/bitnami/postgresql'
  application:
    image: 'bitnami/odoo:latest'
    ports:
      - '80:8069'
      - '443:8071'
    volumes:
      - 'odoo_data:/bitnami/odoo'
    depends_on:
      - postgresql
volumes:
  postgresql_data:
    driver: local
  odoo_data:
    driver: local

Run the application manually

If you want to run the application manually instead of using docker-compose, these are the basic steps you need to run:

1. Create a new network for the application and the database:

$ docker network create odoo_network

2. Start a PostgreSQL database in the network generated:

$ docker run -d --name postgresql --net=odoo_network bitnami/postgresql

Note: You need to give the container a name in order to Odoo to resolve the host

3. Run the Odoo container:

$ docker run -d -p 80:8069 --name odoo --net=odoo_network bitnami/odoo

Then you can access your application at http://your-ip/

Persisting your application

If you remove every container and volume all your data will be lost, and the next time you run the image the application will be reinitialized. To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed. If you are using docker-compose your data will be persistent as long as you don't remove postgresql_data and application_data data volumes. If you have run the containers manually or you want to mount the folders with persistent data in your host follow the next steps:

Note! If you have already started using your application, follow the steps on backing up to pull the data from your running container down to your host.

Mount persistent folders in the host using docker-compose

This requires a sightly modification from the template previously shown:

version: '2'

  postgresql:
    image: 'bitnami/postgresql:latest'
    volumes:
      - '/path/to/your/local/postgresql_data:/bitnami/postgresql'
  application:
    image: bitnami/odoo:latest
    ports:
      - 80:8069
    volumes:
      - '/path/to/your/local/odoo_data:/bitnami/odoo'
    depends_on:
      - postgresql

Mount persistent folders manually

In this case you need to specify the directories to mount on the run command. The process is the same than the one previously shown:

1. If you haven't done this before, create a new network for the application and the database:

$ docker network create odoo_network

2. Start a PostgreSQL database in the previous network:

$ docker run -d --name postgresql -v /your/local/path/bitnami/postgresql:/bitnami/postgresql --network=odoo_network bitnami/postgresql

Note: You need to give the container a name in order to Odoo to resolve the host

3. Run the Odoo container:

$ docker run -d -p 80:8069 --name odoo -v /your/local/path/bitnami/odoo:/bitnami/odoo --network=odoo_network bitnami/odoo

Upgrade this application

Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of PostgreSQL and Odoo, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container. We will cover here the upgrade of the Odoo container. For the PostgreSQL upgrade see https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-postgresql/blob/master/README.md#upgrade-this-image

1. Get the updated images:

$ docker pull bitnami/odoo:latest

2. Stop your container

• For docker-compose: $ docker-compose stop odoo
• For manual execution: $ docker stop odoo

3. (For non-compose execution only) Create a backup if you have not mounted the odoo folder in the host.

4. Remove the currently running container

• For docker-compose: $ docker-compose rm odoo
• For manual execution: $ docker rm odoo

5. Run the new image

• For docker-compose: $ docker-compose start odoo
• For manual execution (mount the directories if needed): docker run --name odoo bitnami/odoo:latest

Configuration

Environment variables

When you start the odoo image, you can adjust the configuration of the instance by passing one or more environment variables either on the docker-compose file or on the docker run command line. If you want to add a new environment variable:

• For docker-compose add the variable name and value under the application section:

application:
  image: bitnami/odoo:latest
  ports:
    - 80:8069
  environment:
    - ODOO_PASSWORD=my_password
  volumes:
    - 'odoo_data:/bitnami/odoo'
  depends_on:
    - postgresql

• For manual execution add a -e option with each variable and value:

 $ docker run -d -e ODOO_PASSWORD=my_password -p 80:8069 --name odoo -v /your/local/path/bitnami/odoo:/bitnami/odoo --network=odoo_network bitnami/odoo

Available variables:

• ODOO_EMAIL: Odoo application email. Default: user@example.com
• ODOO_PASSWORD: Odoo application password. Default: bitnami
• POSTGRESQL_USER: Root user for the PostgreSQL database. Default: postgres
• POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD: Root password for the PostgreSQL.
• POSTGRESQL_HOST: Hostname for PostgreSQL server. Default: postgresql
• POSTGRESQL_PORT: Port used by PostgreSQL server. Default: 5432

SMTP Configuration

To configure Odoo to send email using SMTP you can set the following environment variables:

• SMTP_HOST: SMTP host.
• SMTP_PORT: SMTP port.
• SMTP_USER: SMTP account user.
• SMTP_PASSWORD: SMTP account password.
• SMTP_TLS: Use TLS encription with SMTP. Default true

This would be an example of SMTP configuration using a GMail account:

• docker-compose:

  application:
    image: bitnami/odoo:latest
    ports:
      - 80:8069
    environment:
      - SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
      - SMTP_PORT=587
      - SMTP_USER=your_email@gmail.com
      - SMTP_PASSWORD=your_password

• For manual execution:

 $ docker run -d -e SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com -e SMTP_PORT=587 -e SMTP_USER=your_email@gmail.com -e SMTP_PASSWORD=your_password -p 80:8069 --name odoo -v /your/local/path/bitnami/odoo:/bitnami/odoo --network=odoo_network bitnami/odoo

Backing up your application

To backup your application data follow these steps:

1. Stop the running container:

• For docker-compose: $ docker-compose stop odoo
• For manual execution: $ docker stop odoo

2. Copy the Odoo data folder in the host:

$ docker cp /your/local/path/bitnami:/bitnami/odoo

Restoring a backup

To restore your application using backed up data simply mount the folder with Odoo data in the container. See persisting your application section for more info.
