Odoo - distributed business apps
-
@girish I don't think it'd be much different to Wordpress in that respect, it's just plugins and themes.

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.

Edit: Release notes:

@makemrproper Now the latest stable version is Odoo 15. It was released a few days ago.

@gustavomarcante said in Odoo - distributed business apps:
Instead of Odoo, I suggest Flectra:

I've been a longtime user of Odoo community edition, it's the best ERP out there. But setup is always a pain. Having this available on Cloudron would make it worth a business subscription. This one gets my vote!

@loudlemur I wasn't aware of it until today, it seems they are a very close fork of Odoo... too close for Odoo's comfort in some cases! Here is the #3 on Google search for "flectra": https://www.odoo.com/page/flectra-vs-odoo-flectrahq-enterprise
At any rate, if Cloudron supports either one it should be possible to support both, as they are so similar.

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 Quick feedback after I invested 60 minutes in Odoo as a Cloudron app:
Instead of an error message, a big
The installation runs smoothly and without any problems. Yes, you are right: LDAP does not work.
Also the typical problems with uploading images or modules, do not exist in your package. Top.
