Odoo Docker Setup with Custom and Enterprise Addons

Overview

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up an Odoo instance with Docker, including custom and enterprise addons.

Project Structure

Create your project folder on your Windows PC with the following structure:

project-root/
│
├── docker-compose.yml # Docker Compose configuration file
├── odoo.conf # Custom Odoo configuration file
│
├── addons/ # Directory for custom Odoo addons
├── enterprise-addons/ # Directory for Odoo Enterprise addons

Steps to Setup

Step 1: Create Project Folder

1. Create a folder named project-root on your Windows PC.
2. Inside project-root, create the following subdirectories and files:
   • docker-compose.yml
   • odoo.conf
   • addons/ (for custom addons)
   • enterprise-addons/ (for enterprise addons)

Step 2: Open Command Prompt or PowerShell

1. Press Win + R, type cmd or powershell, and press Enter.
2. Navigate to the project-root directory:

   cd C:\project-root

Step 3: Clone Odoo Enterprise Git Repository

1. Ensure you have Git installed and configured on your Windows machine.
2. Clone the Odoo Enterprise repository into the enterprise-addons directory:

   git clone git@github.com:odoo/enterprise.git enterprise-addons

Tip

Place your custom addons in the addons/ directory inside the project-root/.

Step 4: Create docker-compose.yml

Create a docker-compose.yml file inside the project-root/ directory with the following content:

version: '3.8'

services:
  db:
    image: postgres:15
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: odoo
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: odoo
      POSTGRES_DB: postgres
    volumes:
      - odoo-db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    networks:
      - odoo-network

  odoo:
    image: odoo
    ports:
      - "8069:8069"
    volumes:
      - C:/project-root/addons:/mnt/extra-addons  # Custom addons
      - C:/project-root/enterprise-addons:/mnt/enterprise-addons  # Enterprise addons
      - C:/project-root/odoo.conf:/etc/odoo/odoo.conf  # Custom config file
    depends_on:
      - db
    networks:
      - odoo-network

networks:
  odoo-network:

volumes:
  odoo-db:

Step 5: Create/Update Configuration File (odoo.conf)

Ensure your odoo.conf file includes the necessary configurations for addons:

[options]
; This is the Odoo configuration file

# Database connection
db_host = db
db_port = 5432
db_user = odoo
db_password = odoo

# Addons paths
addons_path = /mnt/extra-addons,/mnt/enterprise-addons,/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/odoo/addons

# Log file
logfile = /var/log/odoo/odoo.log

# Other settings
admin_passwd = admin

Step 6: Start Docker Compose

Run the following command in the directory where your docker-compose.yml file is located:

docker-compose up -d

Step 7: Verify the Setup

7.1. Check Running Containers

docker-compose up -d

7.2. Access Odoo Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8069.

7.3. Check Logs for Errors

docker logs <odoo_container_id>

Replace <odoo_container_id> with the ID of your Odoo container, which you can find using the docker ps command.

Required Software

To set up and run Odoo with Docker and custom addons on your Windows PC, you need the following software:

1. Docker Desktop

2. Git

3. Text Editor or IDE
