Odoo 19 (Docker) installation script

🧩 Prerequisites

Make sure you have:

• GNU/Linux (any recent distribution)

• Docker installed and running. You can check by running:

  sudo docker --version

• Git installed You can check by running:

  sudo git --version

---

🚀 Run the Script

Follow these steps to clone the repository and run the script:

1. Download the project from GitHub

git clone https://github.com/caprosoft/docker-odoo19 

2. Enter the project folder

cd docker-odoo19

3. Make the script executable

sudo chmod +x odoo19.sh

4. Run the script

sudo ./odoo19.sh

After running, Odoo will be available at http://localhost:8069

---

🐳 Script Reference (odoo19.sh)

The script runs two Docker containers: one for the PostgreSQL database and one for Odoo.

#!/bin/sh

sudo docker run -d -v odoo-db:/var/lib/postgresql/data \
  -e POSTGRES_USER=odoo \
  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=odoo \
  -e POSTGRES_DB=postgres \
  --name db postgres:15

sudo docker run -d -v odoo-data:/var/lib/odoo \
  -p 8069:8069 \
  --name odoo \
  --link db:db \
  -t odoo

---

💾 About Docker Volumes

• odoo-db stores the PostgreSQL data, keeping it persistent even if the container is removed.
• odoo-data stores the Odoo application data, ensuring that your configurations and files are preserved.

---

♻️ Restart Containers

If the containers already exist (e.g. after a system reboot or a manual stop), do not run the script again — just restart them.

⚠️ Important: Always start db first, before odoo. If Odoo starts before the database is ready, it will fail to connect and throw an error.

# Restart containers (always db first!)
sudo docker start db odoo

To stop them again:

sudo docker stop odoo db

---

🧹 Stop, Remove, and Re-run Containers

If you need to stop or remove the containers and volumes, use:

# Stop containers
sudo docker stop odoo db

# Remove containers
sudo docker rm odoo db

# (Optional) Remove volumes
sudo docker volume rm odoo-data odoo-db

To recreate and re-run everything after cleanup, simply execute again:

sudo ./odoo19.sh

This will rebuild the containers and restart your Odoo environment from scratch.

---

🔧 Auto-start with systemd

To have the containers start automatically at boot, you can create a systemd service.

✅ Requirement: The containers must already exist (i.e. the script odoo19.sh must have been run at least once).

1. Create the service file

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/odoo19.service

2. Paste the following content

[Unit]
Description=Odoo 19 Docker Containers
Requires=docker.service
After=docker.service
 
[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
 
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'docker start db && sleep 5 && docker start odoo'
ExecStop=/bin/sh -c 'docker stop odoo && docker stop db'
 
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

💡 The sleep 5 gives PostgreSQL a few seconds to initialize before Odoo tries to connect.

3. Reload systemd and enable the service

# Reload systemd to pick up the new unit file
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
 
# Enable the service to start at boot
sudo systemctl enable odoo19.service

4. Start / Stop / Check the service manually

# Start
sudo systemctl start odoo19.service
 
# Stop
sudo systemctl stop odoo19.service
 
# Check status
sudo systemctl status odoo19.service

5. View logs

sudo journalctl -u odoo19.service
