To set up an automatic upgrade for an Odoo 16 instance running in a Docker container, you need to
ensure that your container setup allows for smooth updating of the application. Here’s a step-by-step
guide to achieve this:
1. Setup your Docker environment: Make sure you have a Dockerfile for your Odoo instance. If
you don’t have one, create a basic one like this:
Dockerfile
Copy code
FROM odoo:16.0
# Install any custom dependencies here if needed
# RUN pip install some-custom-package
# Copy your custom modules and configurations
COPY ./addons /mnt/extra-addons
COPY ./odoo.conf /etc/odoo/odoo.conf
# Set the permissions
RUN chown -R odoo: /mnt/extra-addons
2. Create a docker-compose.yml file: This file will help you manage and run your Odoo
container along with dependencies like PostgreSQL.
yaml
Copy code
version: '3'
services:
web:
image: odoo:16.0
depends_on:
- db
ports:
- "8069:8069"
volumes:
- ./addons:/mnt/extra-addons
- ./config:/etc/odoo
environment:
- HOST=db
- USER=odoo
- PASSWORD=odoo
db:
image: postgres:13
environment:
- POSTGRES_DB=postgres
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=odoo
- POSTGRES_USER=odoo
volumes:
- ./data/db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
3. Automate Odoo module upgrades: To automate the upgrade of your Odoo modules, you can
create a script that runs the necessary commands. Create a file upgrade.sh with the
following content:
bash
Copy code
#!/bin/bash
echo "Starting Odoo auto-upgrade..."
docker-compose exec web odoo -u all -d your_database_name --stop-after-init
echo "Upgrade completed."
Make sure to give execute permissions to the script:
bash
Copy code
chmod +x upgrade.sh
4. Setup a cron job for automation: Depending on your host operating system, you can use cron
jobs to schedule this script to run at regular intervals. For example, to run the upgrade script
every night at midnight:
bash
Copy code
crontab -e
Add the following line:
bash
Copy code
0 0 * * * /path/to/your/upgrade.sh >> /path/to/your/logs/upgrade.log 2>&1
5. Deploy and run your Docker containers: Start your Docker containers using docker-
compose.
bash
Copy code
docker-compose up -d
6. Monitor and maintain: Check the logs regularly to ensure that the upgrade process is running
smoothly. Adjust the script and cron job as necessary to fit your specific needs.
By following these steps, you will set up an automated process to upgrade your Odoo 16 modules
within a Docker container environment. This ensures that your Odoo instance remains up-to-date with
the latest module changes.
