Odoo - distributed business apps
-
Open source ERP and CRM
-
Instead of Odoo, I suggest Flectra:

@samir has started packaging this - https://git.cloudron.io/altsyst/odoo-ce-app
-
Great! Somebody is taking action. Fantastic.
But please note @girish @samir - The current work focuses on packaging an old version of Odoo!
For some reason it is being packaged for Odoo version 10.
In that case release a package for all the latest 4 major versions 10, 11, 12 and 13
Latest version (2020) is version 13.

Odoo would be great.
Just adding that there's a de-branded version at Yunohost called LibreERP for interest:

YMMMV though.

Anything we can do to help this? I do feel it would be a very attractive USP for Cloudron as I've not seen a better way to get Odoo CE setup and replicated. I think you'll find is as valuable as Nextcloud for being the best of the bunch in Accounting, CRM & ERP.
-
IIRC, the main challenge with Odoo was it is more like a framework on which you install apps. This makes it inherently difficult to maintain and package
-
@dcher definitely
-
Having used both. ERPNext is a great idea and everything it says it is - but Odoo is fundamentally different in many ways.
They both have value, it's not an either/or choice and I wouldn't dismiss Odoo because ERPNext claims to be equivalent, it's not.
Plugins, GAP Accounting and Pivot Tables are all unique to Odoo.
It's like comparing Ghost to Wordpress. Similar but also very different.

@samir Any progress update on this?
Do you need help?
Did you see my issue mentioned above?
What will it take to roll this out with a newer version?
Would it work to replace the shell script in your Cloudron package with one that points towards Odoo v14?
Here is the script: https://github.com/Yenthe666/InstallScript/blob/14.0/odoo_install.sh@girish Would you know the answer?

@makemrproper We are not working on it, no. Maybe @samir is
-
@mdreira I've not used Odoo much myself, but the one time I did have a little poke around I found eg their web builder to be very basic with a pretty terrible UX to be honest.
Of course Odoo has loads of other plugins/ features too, but I still think that WordPress + WooCommerce is still prabably the best/ easiest open source option for eCommerce (hence that's why I think over a 1/3 of all eCommerce sites are powered by WooCommerce)
-
@jdaviescoates Odoo is not primarily a website builder for ecommerce to run a webshop. It is a fully fledged ERP with loads of functionality to operate a business. It would be a major value add if Cloudron team would package it and get it onto the Cloudron appstore. It would definitely attract paying Cloudron customers.
