Odoo is an open-source ERP system that allows you to manage your business processes, inventory, sales, and accounting. In this tutorial, we will guide you step by step on how to install Odoo on Fedora Server Latest.
Before proceeding with this tutorial, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, you need to update the system software and install the latest updates using the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
Odoo requires PostgreSQL as a database backend. You can install PostgreSQL using the following command:
sudo dnf install postgresql-server -y
Once the installation is complete, initialize the database cluster and start the PostgreSQL service:
sudo postgresql-setup --initdb
sudo systemctl start postgresql.service
sudo systemctl enable postgresql.service
Create a new PostgreSQL user with the name odoo and set a password:
sudo su - postgres
createuser --createdb --username postgres --no-createrole --no-superuser --pwprompt odoo
exit
Odoo is not available in the official Fedora repositories, so we need to download and install it manually.
Start by installing the required dependencies:
sudo dnf install wget git gcc python3-devel libxslt-devel bzip2-devel openldap-devel libjpeg libpng libwebp libtiff libwmf libyaml python3-pip python3-pillow python3-lxml python3-wheel python3-setuptools nodejs -y
Next, download the latest version of Odoo from the official website using the following command:
sudo wget -O - https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb http://nightly.odoo.com/14.0/nightly/rpm/ ./" | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/odoo.repo
sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf install odoo -y
By default, Odoo listens on port 8069, so you need to allow traffic to that port through firewalld:
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8069/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Next, edit the configuration file /etc/odoo/odoo.conf and modify the following settings:
db_user = odoo
db_password = YOUR_PASSWORD
http_port = 8069
Replace YOUR_PASSWORD with the password you set during Step 3.
Start the Odoo service and enable it to start automatically on system boot:
sudo systemctl start odoo.service
sudo systemctl enable odoo.service
You can now access Odoo by opening your web browser and entering the following URL:
http://YOUR_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS:8069/
You will be presented with the Odoo login page.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Odoo on Fedora Server Latest. With Odoo installed, you can easily manage your business processes and improve your productivity.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
