🛠️Getting set up

Step 1: Setting up the project files

Make a project with under a directory called nextway

Clone the repository https://github.com/next-way/nextway-erp-api for the FastAPI app

git clone https://github.com/next-way/nextway-erp-api.git

Go back up to nextway and make a directory nextway-erp-web this will contain our Odoo app.

While at nextway-erp-web create a directory addons and this will contain Nextway's custom addons.

Change directory into addons and clone the repository https://github.com/next-way/order_dispatch

git clone https://github.com/next-way/order_dispatch

At the end, we get following directory structure

nextway
├── nextway-erp-api
└── nextway-erp-web
   └── addons
       └── order_dispatch
Step 2: Configuration

Here, we are going to focus on nextway-erp-web to get Odoo ready.

Nextway ERP WEB

Odoo system configuration

Create the file config/odoo.conf

The following is how the config may look like.

config/odoo.conf
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Filter listed database REGEXP 
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
db_name = nextwaydb
db_host = host.docker.internal
db_port = 5435
db_user = odoo
db_password = secretdbpass

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Specify the addons_path folders ordered by priority
# addons_path=/first/path/,/second/path/
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
addons_path = /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/odoo/addons,/var/lib/odoo/.local/share/Odoo/addons/16.0,/mnt/extra-addons

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Comma-separated list of server-wide modules, default=web
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
server_wide_modules = web,sale_management,stock,fleet,contacts,hr,delivery,order_dispatch

This sets up the database Odoo will use, the addons_path and the modules that will be installed and enabled by default.

📌 More on Odoo system configuration here: https://www.odoo.com/documentation/16.0/administration/install/deploy.html

Database configuration

The postgres image will be used for PostgreSQL. We will only be needing one file for now.

Create a odoo_pg_pass file and add the database password. This will be used as a postgresql_password secret in our compose file later.

Dockerfile

Now we are going to create the Dockerfile.

Dockerfile
FROM odoo:16
ARG extra_addons_path=addons
USER root
RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
    python3-pip
COPY $extra_addons_path /mnt/extra-addons
USER odoo
COPY --chown=odoo:odoo config/odoo.conf /etc/odoo/odoo.conf

Docker compose

For simplicity, here is how a compose file would look like.

docker-compose.yml
version: '3.1'
services:
  web:
    image: localhost:6000/nextway-odoo-web:latest
    platform: linux/amd64
    depends_on:
      - db
    ports:
      - "8069:8069"
    volumes:
      - odoo-web-data:/var/lib/odoo
      - ./config:/etc/odoo
      - ./addons:/mnt/extra-addons
    environment:
      - PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/postgresql_password
    secrets:
      - postgresql_password
  db:
    image: postgres:13
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_DB=postgres
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/postgresql_password
      - POSTGRES_USER=odoo
      - PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata
    volumes:
      - odoo-db-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata
    secrets:
      - postgresql_password
    ports:
      - "5435:5432"
  api:
    image: localhost:6000/nextway-odoo-api:latest
    platform: linux/amd64
    environment:
      - DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/amd64
      - PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/postgresql_password
    depends_on:
      - db
      - web
    ports:
      - "8082:8082"
    volumes:
      - ../nextway-erp-api/.env.shared:/usr/local/api/.env.shared
      - ./config:/etc/odoo
    secrets:
      - postgresql_password
volumes:
  odoo-web-data:
  odoo-db-data:

secrets:
  postgresql_password:
    file: odoo_pg_pass

Now our nextway-erp-web directory looks like the following.

nextway/nextway-erp-web
├── Dockerfile
├── odoo_pg_pass
├── addons
│   └── order_dispatch
└── docker-compose.yml

We are getting close! Now for the API.

Nextway ERP API

There are a few environment variables available for setup. For simplicity, a file called .env.sample is created for you. Copy the file into a .env.shared file and update the variables.

Step 3: Up and running system

Run docker compose up.

$ docker compose up
