Odoo is an all-in-one business software that provides a range of business applications that form a complete suite of tools to manage your entire business. Installing Odoo on your EndeavourOS system is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few simple steps.
Before you start the installation process, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
Before downloading and installing Odoo on your EndeavourOS system, you need to ensure that you have some prerequisite packages and dependencies installed. You can install these dependencies by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S python python-pip python-psycopg2 python-lxml python-pygments python-tz python-babel python-dateutil \
python-mako python-markupsafe python-networkx python-openid python-passlib python-pychart python-pydot python-pyparsing \
python-reportlab python-simplejson python-unittest2 python-vobject python-webdav python-werkzeug python-xlwt \
python-yaml python-zsi postgresql npm sudo
Odoo requires a PostgreSQL database to be installed and running on your system. You can install PostgreSQL using the package manager by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S postgresql
Once PostgreSQL is installed, you need to create a new database for Odoo to use. To do this, run the following command:
sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE DATABASE odoo;"
Installing Nginx is optional, but it is recommended to provide Nginx as a reverse proxy server. You can install Nginx using the following command:
sudo pacman -S nginx
Now you are ready to install Odoo. Extract the Odoo installation files that you downloaded from the official website.
Navigate to the extracted folder and run the following command:
sudo python3 setup.py install
To configure Odoo, you need to edit the configuration file located at /etc/odoo-server.conf.
Change the following settings in the configuration file:
db_user = odoo
db_password = your_password
addons_path = /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/odoo/addons
Note: Replace your_password with a secure password.
You can start the Odoo server by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start odoo-server
If you have installed Nginx, you can configure Nginx to reverse proxy requests to the Odoo server.
First, create a new Nginx configuration file by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/odoo.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
upstream odoo {
server 127.0.0.1:8069;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name your_domain.com;
# Redirect non-HTTPS traffic to HTTPS
if ($scheme != "https") {
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
# Proxy requests to odoo
location / {
proxy_pass http://odoo;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $server_port;
}
}
Note: Replace your_domain.com with your domain name.
Once you have added the configuration, save the file and restart Nginx by running the following command:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Odoo on EndeavourOS. You can now access the Odoo web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost or your domain name (if configured).
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
