Chapter 16. Server Deployment

In this chapter, we will learn about the following tasks:

  • Installing Odoo for production use
  • Adapting the configuration file for production
  • Setting up Odoo as a system service
  • Configuring a reverse proxy and SSL
  • Using buildout for repeatable builds

Introduction

We have seen in Chapter 1, Installing the Odoo Development Environment, in the recipe Easy installation from source, and in Chapter 2, Managing Odoo Server Instances, in the recipe Standardizing your instance directory layout, how to set up a development environment. The requirements for a production environment are slightly different. This chapter covers the specificities of the deployment of Odoo.
