Odoo is a set of popular web based open source business applications created to solve all business needs and demands. This guide has been written to help Linux users install Odoo on Debian 11 / Debian 10 Linux. Odoo comprises of a range of business applications such CRM, Website Builder, eCommerce, Warehouse Management, Project Management, Billing & Accounting, Point of Sale, Human Resources, Marketing, Manufacturing, Purchase Management just to mention a few.
Install Odoo ERP on Debian 10 / Debian 11
All the Odoo packages that we’ll need are available on Debian and Odoo repository to be added. We won’t be doing any manual building of packages. Now dive into the installation of Odoo on Debian 11/10 Linux.
Step 1: Update system
Start by updating your Debian Linux.
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y upgradeA reboot is necessary whenever an upgrade is performed.
sudo rebootStep 2: Install PostgreSQL Database
Odoo uses PostgreSQL database as primary storage for its data. The PostgreSQL database server has to be installed manually on our Debian system.
Step 3: Install wkhtmltopdf
Odoo requires wkhtmltopdf for reports generation and printing. The version of wkhtmltopdf available in the upstream Debian repositories does not support headers and footers so it is not used as a direct dependency.
Install wkhtmltopdf & wkhtmltoimage on Ubuntu / Debian
Step 4: Install Odoo 15 on Debian 10 / Debian 11
Before installing Odoo 15 on Debian 10 / Debian 11, we need to add Odoo apt repository to our local system.
Import GPG repository key:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gnupg2
wget https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key
cat odoo.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/odoo.gpg >/dev/null
Add Odoo repository to your system:
echo "deb http://nightly.odoo.com/15.0/nightly/deb/ ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.listOnce the repository is added, update your Apt cache.
sudo apt updateSee command output sample below:
...

After the installation of Odoo 15 on Debian 11 / 10, the service is started automatically.
$ systemctl status odoo

Oct 19 20:57:11 deb10 systemd[1]: Started Odoo Open Source ERP and CRM.Set the service to start on every system reboot.
sudo systemctl enable --now odooThe Odoo service should bind to TCP port 8069 once started.
$ ss -tunelp | grep 8069

http://[ServerIP_Hostname]:8069Step 5: Configure Nginx Proxy (Without SSL) – Not recommended
Install Nginx onto your system:
sudo apt -y install nginx vimCreate a new configuration file for odoo.
sudo vim /etc/nginx/conf.d/odoo.confModify this configuration snippet to fit your setup.
# Odoo Upstreams
upstream odooserver {
server 127.0.0.1:8069;
}
server {
listen 80;

error_log /var/log/nginx/odoo_error.log;

# Gzip

gzip on;
}My service domain in this example is erp.geeksforgeeks.org, replace it with your correct domain to be used with Odoo. A valid DNS record is required for external access as well.
Check your configuration syntax:
$ sudo nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successfulIf the settings are deemed ok, restart nginx service.
sudo systemctl restart nginxStep 6: Configure Nginx Proxy (With SSL Certificate) – Recommended
It is always recommended to use SSL encryption for production
deployments. Let’s Encrypt is a free SSL offering that you can use in
your Setup.
Get Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates for your domain.
#Debian 11
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
#Debian 10
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install certbot python-certbot-nginx
### Generate SSL
sudo systemctl stop nginx
export DOMAIN="erp.geeksforgeeks.org"
export EMAIL="[email protected]"
sudo /usr/bin/certbot certonly --standalone -d ${DOMAIN} --preferred-challenges http --agree-tos -n -m ${EMAIL} --keep-until-expiringIf the execution went through, paths to the certificate and chain files will be printed out.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/erp.geeksforgeeks.org/fullchain.pem
Your key file has been saved at:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/erp.geeksforgeeks.org/privkey.pem
Your cert will expire on 2020-01-17. To obtain a new or tweaked
version of this certificate in the future, simply run certbot-auto
again. To non-interactively renew *all* of your certificates, run
"certbot-auto renew"
- Your account credentials have been saved in your Certbot
configuration directory at /etc/letsencrypt. You should make a
secure backup of this folder now. This configuration directory will
also contain certificates and private keys obtained by Certbot so
making regular backups of this folder is ideal.
- If you like Certbot, please consider supporting our work by:
Donating to ISRG / Let's Encrypt: https://letsencrypt.org/donate
Donating to EFF: https://eff.org/donate-leCreate cron to renew certificate.
$ sudo crontab -e
