docker-odoo-project

A base image for our Odoo projects.

This image alone does nothing because it doesn't contain any Odoo's code. The code should be added in a Docker inheriting from this image.

A project has to respect a structure, look at the example.

See also the Changelog.

Build

The images should be build with make:

$ make VERSION=10.0  # generate image camptocamp/odoo-project:10.0-latest
$ make VERSION=9.0  # generate image camptocamp/odoo-project:9.0-latest

Configuration

The host for the database is db.

A volume /data/odoo is declared, which is expected to contain Odoo's filestore (this path is set in openerp.cfg).

Ports 8069 and 8072 are exposed by default.

Environment variables

MIGRATE

MIGRATE can be True or False and determines whether migration tool marabunta will be launched. By default migration will be launched.

MARABUNTA_MODE

In Marabunta versions, you can declare additional execution modes, such as demo or full in order to choose which operations and addons are executed for a migration.

A typical use case would be:

• Install the set of addons in the base mode (the base mode is always executed)
• Load an excerpt of the data in the demo mode, used for test instances
• Load the complete dataset in the full mode, used for the integration and production servers

On the test server, you would set MARABUNTA_MODE=demo and on the production one MARABUNTA_MODE=full.

MARABUNTA_ALLOW_SERIE

By default, Marabunta does not allow to execute more than one version upgrade at a time. This is because it is dangerous to execute a migration script (say 9.1.0) if the version of the code is not the same (say 9.2.0).

For a production server, it works, because usually you only want to upgrade to the last version N from N-1. But for development or a test server, you might want to take the risk of running all the migration scripts consecutively, this is what MARABUNTA_ALLOW_SERIE=True is for.

MARABUNTA_FORCE_VERSION

When you are developing / testing migrations with Marabunta, you can force the upgrade of a specific version with MARABUNTA_FORCE_VERSION=<version>.

DEMO

DEMO can be True or False and determines whether Odoo will load its Demo data. It has effect only at the creation of the database.

LOCAL_USER_ID

By default, the user ID inside of the container will be 9001. There is little concern with this ID until we setup a host volume: the same user ID will be used to write the files on the host's filesystem. 9001 will probably be inexistent on the host system but at least it will not collide with an actual user.

Instead, you can set the ID of the host's system in LOCAL_USER_ID, which will then be shared by the container. All the files created in host volumes will then share the same user.

Odoo Configuration Options

The main configuration options of Odoo can be configured through environment variables. The name of the environment variables are the same of the options but uppercased (eg. workers becomes WORKERS).

Look in 9.0/etc/openerp.cfg.tmpl to see the full list.

While most of the variables can be set in the docker-compose file so we can have different values for different environments, the ADDONS_PATH must be set in the Dockerfile of your project with a line such as:

ENV ADDONS_PATH=/opt/odoo/local-src,/opt/odoo/external-src/server-tools,/opt/odoo/src/addons

By setting this value in the Dockerfile, it will be integrated into the build and thus will be consistent across each environment.

By the way, you can add other ENV variables in your project's Dockerfile if you want to customize the default values of some variables for a project.
