Odoo Boot Script

step is creating a boot script odoo-server to gain control over Odoo behavior and use it at server startup and shutdown

Odoo Server Configuration
Copy the included configuration file to a more convenient location changing it’s name to 
copy the inculded configuration file to a more conven
odoo-server.conf

sudo cp /opt/odoo/debian/openerp-server.conf /etc/odoo-server.conf

Next we need to modify the configuration file. The finished  file should look similar to this depending on your deploying needs:

[options] admin_passwd = admin db_host = False db_port = False db_user = odoo db_password = <PostgreSQL_user_password> addons_path = /opt/odoo/addons logfile = /var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log xmlrpc_port = 8069

Next step is creating a boot script odoo-server to gain control over Odoo behavior and use it at server startup and shutdown.

Odoo Files Ownership and Permissions
Change the odoo-server file permissions and ownership so only root can write to it, while odoo user will only be able to read and execute it.

sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/odoo-server

sudo chown root: /etc/init.d/odoo-server

Since odoo user will run the application, change its ownership accordingly.

sudo chown -R odoo: /opt/odoo/

We should set odoo user as the owner of log directory as well.

sudo chown odoo:root /var/log/odoo

Finally, we should protect the server configuration file changing its ownership and permissions so no other non-root user can access it.

sudo chown odoo: /etc/odoo-server.conf

sudo chmod 640 /etc/odoo-server.conf

Testing the Server

It’s time to check that everything is working as expected, lets start the Odoo server.

sudo /etc/init.d/odoo-server start

Let’s take a look at log file to verify no errors occurred.

cat /var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log

Now we can check if the server stops properly too.

sudo /etc/init.d/odoo-server stop

Enter the same command again.

cat /var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log

Running Boot Script at Server Startup and Shutdown

If the Odoo server log doesn’t indicate any problem we can continue and make the Boot script start and stop with the server.

sudo update-rc.d odoo-server defaults

It’s a good idea to restart our server to see if everything is working.

sudo shutdown -r now

Once restarted verify one more time the log file.

cat /var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log

Testing Odoo Frontend

Open a new browser window and enter in the address bar:

http://<your_domain_or_IP_address>:port number

default port is 8069 for odoo

Odoo Auto Install Script

Odoo Install Script
This script is based on the install script from Shivam dudhat but goes a bit further. This script will also give you the ability to define an xmlrpc_port in the .conf file that is generated under /etc/ This script can be safely used in a multi-odoo code base server because the default Odoo port is changed BEFORE the Odoo is started.

Step 1: Make the script file:
            odoo_install.sh

	################################################################################
	# Script for installing Odoo V9 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (could be used for other version too)
	# Author: Shivam Dudhat
	#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	# This script will install Odoo on your Ubuntu 14.04 server. It can install multiple Odoo instances
	# in one Ubuntu because of the different xmlrpc_ports
	#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	# Make a new file:
	# sudo nano odoo-install.sh
	# Place this content in it and then make the file executable:
	# sudo chmod +x odoo-install.sh
	# Execute the script to install Odoo:
	# ./odoo-install

	#Set to true if you want to install it, false if you don't need it or have it already installed.
	INSTALL_WKHTMLTOPDF="True"
	#Set the default Odoo port (you still have to use -c /etc/odoo-server.conf for example to use this.)
	OE_PORT="8069"
	#Choose the Odoo version which you want to install. For example: 9.0, 8.0, 7.0 or saas-6. When using 'trunk' the master version will be installed.
