Odoo - distributed business apps
-
@doodlemania2 which script? Odoo 10 or odoo 12? Could you fill an issue on git directly to keep track of the issue? Thanks!
-
@girish Is this ready to be included as an experimental status Cloudron application yet?
@LoudLemur I don't think so - at least not yet. Unable to get it to install cleanly on my CR server, but I think it's close.
-
@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.
-
What is the latest on installing Odoo? Is it ready as a Cloudron Beta application yet?
@LoudLemur nope.
but it's been working as a custom app on one of my instances for a few weeks. to get an idea of how odoo works and what you need to learn to implement an erp system in your company, it's top. as a reliable critical app for your company (without knowledge about content migration), you should wait until odoo is an official cloudron app. -

I have packaged Odoo successfully.
Please check out http://github.com/njsubedi/cloudron-odooI had to patch the default Database connection function to prevent Odoo from connecting to the database named “postgres” from different places.
Otherwise, everything is working as expected. Simply clone the repo, and then from inside the repo, run
cloudoron build cloudron install -l <subdomain.yourcloudron.tld>Please post any error logs or problems here so I can continue to improve it.
Update: somehow LDAP login is failing; need to look into it.
@nj thanks for your packaging efforts! I just tried to run odoo and it wouldn't start, it was always looping the

I totally recommend using Cloudron in a business to structure and improve processes. Unless your company has the budget to run Salesforce, or Service Now to do the same.

@makemrproper There is a large and active development community for Odoo. I think it would be quite excited to hear about a Beta of Odoo on Cloudron and they could contribute quite a lot. Hopefully, the other great applications available on Cloudron would catch their notice too, and people would join us.

@nebulon
I hope we are still making progress on supporting Odoo Community Edition on Cloudron.I think Cloudron users are aware of how powerful a tool Cloudron is. Odoo is a bit like Cloudron, in that it offers one click deployment of modules.
Unlike Cloudron, all the modules on Odoo are built to be interoperable. They push data to each other as needed, populating fields and helping you with auto-fill and reducing laboriousness of many manual tasks.
If you are familiar with Nextcloud (which is of course on Cloudron) then you will be right at home with Odoo.

@LoudLemur I too hope to see odoo in Cloudron soon. A lot of things would be simplified for us.

@LoudLemur looks like no one is working on this
It seems @nj and @samir managed to package it, but I have no idea how to test a custom app

https://www.odoo.com/odoo-16-release-notes@LoudLemur Odoo is not an easy app to selfhost. And to add to that, it's non-trivial to make keep this app updated and help people migrate across versions (like they expect Cloudron apps to) with our current pricing model and target group. Odoo itself is a framework to run apps and each app has it's own updates. It's all very complex.
Not to say we won't package this, but it's not a priority.

https://www.odoo.com/odoo-16-release-notes@LoudLemur do you possibly have a business case here?
I mean that if you have Odoo working, it would allow you to do X, which will give you an opportunity do Y, so it will generate you Z amount of money and hence you are ready to pay W for that?

@girish said in Odoo - distributed business apps:
Odoo is not an easy app to selfhost.
And I kinda wonder if it is suitable for a VPS running Cloudron which is running probably quite a few other apps.
Maybe totally fine if you have a beefy VPS.
But I wonder how many do have spare resources to that extent.Any ERP package tends to have its own ecosystem, and my guess would be best installed on a standalone VPS.
Doesn't a key business resource deserve its own home?
That's how I would tackle it anyway. If I ever have to something ERP-like.
Hope not. Wasted too many years on them. -

I think Odoo becomes complex when it is customized, which usually happens through use of Odoo Studio, a proprietary component which is not available in the Community Edition.
I see Odoo as being quite like NextCloud, which Cloudron already supports. Odoo refers to its various components as modules. Odoo modules are more like extensions that can be added, rather than additional applications. Some Cloudron applications like NodeBB have a Calendar extension, for example.
All the official Odoo modules work out of the box with the unmodified Odoo. Once a year, there is a big, new, Odoo release. That release is designed so that upgrades from the earlier version ought to work smoothly, with just a click.
Many experienced users of Odoo say the secret to a happy life with it is to stick to unmodified versions. I think that sort of support, an annual update, might be something Cloudron could achieve without too much difficulty, once the initial packaging was completed.
