Odoo - distributed business apps

[nj]

@luckow I've pushed a fix for LDAP Login. I had to map cn to displayName, and use a proper LDAP filter. I was able to immediately log in after installing Odoo.

However, there are two issues:

1. You have to log in with email and password. When I tried to have it login with both username and email, Odoo was creating two different users - one with the email and another one with the username.

2. Odoo throws a Server Error on the first login for a user from LDAP. From the second time, the error is not raised for the same user. Simply reload the page to "resend" the email/password, or log in again.
I spent some time debugging, but couldn't fix it. Looks like a bug in the record cache system of Odoo. If anyone is interested, I have opened an issue.

@girish I'd say it is ready to be released as an unstable app. I tried restarting, reinstalling, updating, etc, and everything is working fine. I'm still unsure whether to keep the IMAP settings or remove it, because recvmail is mostly deprecated.

As other members said, there will be missing out on a lot of community addons but sooner or later they will be updated to support the latest Odoo version.

recvmail got un-deprecated and is back in the last release. But I wouldn't worry about that part yet since it's not critical to get the app published. I already have your outline app on my TODO list, so I will get to this after that. Thanks!

@nj If this is made available as a beta app in Cloudron, I will test it and give feedback.

Thank you incredibly for helping make this very powerful Free Software available to a much wider number of users. I think that including Odoo Community Edition on Cloudron will showcase the functionality that Cloudron can deliver. Well done!

If you have managed to make Odoo 15 work, I think both Flectra and LibreERP could be deployed in the same way. LibreERP is based on a much earlier version of Odoo, v11, I think.

This is great news.

@girish Odoo hosts events all round the world:
https://www.odoo.com/event

The flagship event, where the next version of Odoo is introduced, is called Odoo Experience, and is usually around November.

If we have Odoo running well on Cloudron before then, I think Cloudron could greatly boost the number of users by making a presentation at Odoo Experience. Last year, it was an online event, usually it is in-person and in Belgium.

@nj just a quick note about your latest improvements: ldap still does not work for me

[nj]

@luckow did you try logging in for the second time? As I have mentioned, first-time login still fails. Also if you could raise an issue on Github with the contents of “/run/logs/odoo.log” as soon as you log in, I can look into it.

[luckow]

@nj Everything back to zero. Those who can read have an advantage. .... ! As you wrote: You have to use the mail address (instead of the username). And you have to reload the whole form.
Now it works as described (for me)

@nj Amazing work !!!

[luckow]

@luckow look at https://odoo-community.org/shop?version=19 9 days later! The Odoo-community was busy

[LoudLemur]

@luckow How much additional memory is Odoo using?

[luckow]

@LoudLemur this is package default:
Memory Limit : 2.5 GB

No idea if this is right or wrong. In my (few) test, the app is responsible.

Hey,

I'm cross-posting a message sent in the sponsoring odoo topic.
For those interested in Odoo V10 CE, I've just updated my last script here :
https://git.cloudron.io/altsyst/odoo10-ce-app

I'm not maintaining it anymore, but it's working well for two years now (working with the ldap cloudron server).

Enjoy

[scooke]

@samir Is the install process the same as the other recently shared Odoo?

[LoudLemur]

@samir Thank you very much for this. I know you are no longer maintaining this, but is it possible before you leave the project, if it does not take too much time, to incorporate the new script suggested here:

https://git.cloudron.io/altsyst/odoo-ce-app/-/issues/1

[mdreira]

@girish Would it be possible to pick up the slack and add Odoo or Flectra in the near future to Cloudron? This would be amazing.

[samir]

@scooke the install process is the cloudron custom app process, described in the doc

[samir]

@LoudLemur The current script is based on the Yenthe666 script, I will publish an odoo12-ce-app very soon. It's pretty easy to adapt the script for odoo13 if you want it, though I've heard (to confirm) that the odoo based on even version are usually more stable than the odd one... I tend to pass the odd version, waiting for the even one.

In my opinion, it makes sense to have separate repo for each odoo version. It's not obvious to update a odoo version, since it requires a special script to update the database (and other stuff...)

[samir]

I've just published the cloudron custom app odoo 12 CE here :
https://git.cloudron.io/altsyst/odoo12-ce-app/

For using the cloudron ldap :

1. Create first the user in odoo with an empty password
2. open the ldap parameters in odoo (as admin, config>settings)
3. enter into an odoo terminal and get the cloudron ldap parameters
4. fill in the ldap cloudron parameters (ldap server address, binddn, port, password)
5. For LDAP base : ou=users,dc=cloudron
6. restart odoo app (or cloudron, I don't remember)
