Creating a systemd service

[root@webmail system]# cat /etc/systemd/system/odoo10.service

[Unit] 

Description=Odoo 

After=postgresql.service 

 

[Service] 

Type=simple 

User=odoo 

Group=odoo 

ExecStart=/opt/odoo/odoo-10.0/odoo-bin --addons=/opt/odoo/odoo-10.0/addons/,/opt/odoo/odoo-10.0/reponew,/opt/odoo/odoo-10.0/gst/ -c /etc/odoo/odoo.conf 

 

[Install] 

WantedBy=multi-user.target 

Step 1: 

Update apt source-lists:

1	sudo apt-get update

Step 2: 

Create the Odoo user that will own and run the application

1	sudo adduser --system --home=/opt/odoo --group odoo

Step 3: 

Install and configure the database server, PostgreSQL

1	sudo apt-get install -y postgresql

Once the PostgreSQL is installed, next we setup a new PostgreSQL user for our application. This user will be used for making all the database interaction form the Odoo.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

sudo service postgresql start   sudo su - postgres   createuser --createdb --username postgres --no-createrole --no-superuser --pwprompt odoo Enter password for new role: ***** Enter it again:*****

Finally exit from the postgres user account:

1

exit

Step 4:(Optional)

Your Odoo server may encounter some issue(s), so Im also mentioning few issues & their way around to fix them:

FIX 1: You need to upgrade ”wkhtmltopdf” to 0.12.1  You can also check this LINK

1 2 3 4 5 6

sudo wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.1/wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb   sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb   sudo cp /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf /usr/bin sudo cp /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltoimage /usr/bin

FIX 2: Check if your PostgreSQL have proper encoding(UTF-8) or not, used in Odoo Application, if not you can do like this:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

sudo su - postgres   psql   update pg_database set encoding = pg_char_to_encoding('UTF8');   \q exit

FIX 3: Set The Locale To UTF-8 For Python 3, if you are getting UnicodeEncodeError /UnicodeDecodeError, you can fix it,as: You can also check this LINK

Directly execute these commands:

1 2 3

locale-gen en_US.UTF-8   export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US.en LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

FIX 4: In postgreSQL, allow TCP connection, if you are getting error like:

1	psycopg2.OperationalError: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user

To fix it,in /etc/postgresql/9.5/main/pg_hba.conf change peer to md5:

1 2	# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only local     all     all     <del>peer</del> md5

then

1	sudo service postgresql restart

Step 5: 

Install the necessary Python libraries & other needed libraries needed for the application:

Odoo 11 will use python 3.5(which is pre-installed on our Ubuntu), previously it uses python 2.7, so in order to install all dependent libraries easily well install pip3 in our server, as:


1	sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip

Once pip3 is installed on your server, we can proceed with installing other dependent libraries using pip3 as:

1

pip3 install Babel decorator docutils ebaysdk feedparser gevent greenlet html2text Jinja2 lxml Mako MarkupSafe mock num2words ofxparse passlib Pillow psutil psycogreen psycopg2 pydot pyparsing PyPDF2 pyserial python-dateutil python-openid pytz pyusb PyYAML qrcode reportlab requests six suds-jurko vatnumber vobject Werkzeug XlsxWriter xlwt xlrd Pypdf2

Next is to install Odoo Web Dependencies:

1 2 3 4

sudo apt-get install -y npm sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node sudo npm install -g less less-plugin-clean-css sudo apt-get install -y node-less


Once all the packages are installed we are ready to proceed with installing Odoo server.

Step 6:

Installing ODOO version 11 Community Edition hosted on GITHUB.

Make sure you have GIT installed on your system and if not then install with the simple command:

1	sudo apt-get install -y git

Switch to the Odoo user:

1	sudo su - odoo -s /bin/bash

Clone the latest branch of Odoo, in our case it is 11.0 from Github:

1	git clone https://www.github.com/odoo/odoo --depth 1 --branch 11.0 --single-branch

(This might take a little while depending on the speed of your Internet connection.)

Finally exit from the odoo user account:

1

exit

Step 7:

Next step is to create a configuration file for Odoo. But before doing so wll first create the directory for storing logs of Odoo server and assigning proper ownership to the directory:

1 2 3

sudo mkdir /var/log/odoo   sudo chown odoo:root /var/log/odoo

Next is to create the configuration file for odoo server. Odoo application will use these configuration to run so fill in the configuration as per your requirements.

1	sudo nano /etc/odoo-server.conf

A sample configuration file will look like this:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

[options] ; This is the password that allows database operations: ; admin_passwd = admin db_host = False db_port = False db_user = odoo db_password = False logfile = /var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log addons_path = /opt/odoo/addons,/opt/odoo/odoo/addons

[root@webmail odoo]# cat /etc/odoo/odoo.conf 

[options]

; This is the password that allows database operations:

; admin_passwd = admin

db_host = False

db_port = False

db_user = odoo

db_password = admin

addons_path = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/odoo/addons

(* You need to use the same password you used back in step 3.)

Once the configuration file is created we will set the ownership rights

1 2	sudo chown odoo: /etc/odoo-server.conf sudo chmod 640 /etc/odoo-server.conf

Step 8:

Installing the boot script

For the final step we need to install a script which will be used to start-up & shut-down the Odoo server automatically, with the correct user. Here is a Link, you can use this script for the same purpose, as:

1	sudo nano /etc/init.d/odoo-server

Paste the same contents of this script to this file. Once it is in the right place you will need to make it executable and owned by root:

1 2 3

sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/odoo-server   sudo chown root: /etc/init.d/odoo-server

1

Step 9:

Testing the server

To start the Odoo server type:

1	sudo /etc/init.d/odoo-server start

You should now be able to view the log-file as:

1	tailf /var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log

If there are any problems in this step you need to go back and check, feel free to comment on this blog ill try my best to help you :)

[OPTIONAL] Also, in order to debug, you can start the server manually just to check if it actually runs well or not, as:

sudo su - odoo -s /bin/bash

/opt/odoo/odoo-bin

If the log file looks OK, you can check Odoo server running on your browser with url:

1	http://localhost:8069

BOOT SCRIPT USAGE:

1	/etc/init.d/odoo-server {start|stop|restart/reload|status|force-restart|force-stop}
