Odoo Build

This is the Mint System Odoo development environment.

This projects provides a highly opinionated way to develop Odoo modules. It features:

• Odoo Source: Checkout the Odoo Community and Enterprise Edition and start editing the source code.
• Docker Compose: Spin up a Odoo, Postgres and pgAdmin Docker container and experiment locally.
• Native: Start an Odoo server directly from the source.
• Import and Export Database: Use Odoo scripts to copy and restore a customer database to the local environment. Investigate issues and deploy the database at ease.
• Community Modules: The most common community modules are checked out when setting up the project.
• Customizing Snippets: Create snippets and push them to an Odoo database.
• Odoo Scripts: Develope scripts to patch Odoo code.
• Odoo Revisions: Snapshot the Odoo source at a specific date. See revisions for details.
• Odoo Image: Build and publish a custom Odoo Docker image. See README for details.
• Kubernetes: Deploy Odoo and Postgres to a local Kubernetes cluster.
• Develop Modules: Scaffold a new module, develop new Odoo features locally and much more.
• Credentials: Setup credentials to log into Odoo.
• Import Data: Import Odoo records from CSV.

Requirements

The Odoo development environment has the following requirements:

• Docker
• Install Python 3.11+ with pyenv
• Install PostgreSQL
• bash/zsh alias task='./task' with optional bash/zsh completion.

You can also use Nix to setup the development requirements.

Install kind or minikube and kubectl to deploy Odoo to Kubernetes.

Load modules from thirdparty folder

Clone thirdparty repos into the thirdparty folder.

To load modules from a thirdparty folder, set this env var in your .env file:

ODOO_ADDONS_PATH=thirdparty/odoo-apps-partner-contact,../odoo-cd/untracked-odoo-apps

The paths will be appended to the Odoo config.

Initialize without demo data

In your .env file define this Odoo parameter env var:

ODOO_PARAM="--without-demo=all"

Set Odoo database name

By default the database name is the current branch name.

To define the name, set this env var in your .env file:

ODOO_DATABASE=odoo

Disable browser open

To disable the browser open when starting the Odoo server edit the .env file:

BROWSER_OPEN=false

Docker

Run Odoo with Docker container.

Start and initialize Odoo with Docker

Set the Odoo addons path in your .env file:

ODOO_ADDONS_PATH=/mnt/addons/,/mnt/oca/,/mnt/enterprise,/mnt/themes/

Run Docker Compose.

task start

Initialize database with the Odoo script.

Use docker-odoo-init help to show all options.

docker-odoo-init -d odoo -i web

Open browser to http://localhost:8069 and login with admin:admin.

Install custom module

docker-odoo-install -m show_db_name

Common

Instructions that are true for Docker and native usage.

Change log level

ODOO_REVISION=16.0.2024.0405
DOCKER_REGISTRY=mint-system/

Checkout the Odoo revision.

task checkout-revision

Build the Odoo image.

task build

Publish the Odoo image.

task publish

Setup mail catcher

Start mail server.

task start mail

Setup mail server config for Odoo.

task setup-mail

Kubernetes

Run a local Kubernets cluster with kind or minikube.

task start-kind

Or start Kubernetes with minikube.

task start-minikube

Deploy Odoo to Kubernetes

Ensure you have kubectl installed and can access the cluster.

The following command applies the Odoo and Postgres manifests and initializes the Odoo database.

task k8s-apply

Troubleshooting

Remove tracked submodule folders

Problem

The checkout command fails tue to unregistered submdoules.

Solution

Remove the submodule with git rm, f.e. git rm oca/dms.

inotify instance limit reached

Problem

While starting the native server this error is thrown:

OSError: [Errno 24] inotify instance limit reached

Solution

Increase inotify watch limit.

sudo vi /etc/sysctl.conf

fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288
fs.inotify.max_user_instances=256

sudo sysctl -p

ImportError libldap

Problem

Instance with auth_ldap does not start.

ImportError: libldap_r-2.4.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Solution

Reinstall with pip flags.

pip install python-ldap --force-reinstall --no-binary python-ldap

psycopg2 symbol not found

Problem

init-db fails with psycopg2 errors on macOS / Darwin.

Solution

source task source
pip install psycopg2-binary --force

Distribution not found

Problem

After switching the Odoo version with task checkout the task command fail with this error:

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'odoo==XX.0' distribution was not found and is required by the application

Problem

After install the Pyhton dependencies and running Odoo the following error is thrown:

ImportError: lxml.html.clean module is now a separate project lxml_html_clean.
