Create development environment using docker

Tested on fedora 31

1) install Docker

Checkout the installation guide from docker. TODO: make it work with podman.

Be sure to start the docker daemon using systemctl start docker (enable if you want it to persist on reboot). Depending on the distribution, you might need to either use sudo or create a docker group. The following instructions assume that you can use docker without being root, add sudo if necessary.

2) Build the images (odoo - postgresql)

~ 15 minutes

docker-compose build

3) Load data in postgresql

Copy the sql.gz dump into the initial-data-load folder. Prefix it with 02, so that it is loaded after user creation and before the crons are stopped.

docker-compose up db

This could take a while (~20 minutes) depending on the data dump you are using. In order to reset your database, remove the container. (It will have to rebuild the database the next time you start it).

docker-compose rm db

4) Run the project

If you are not using a pre-created db run

docker-compose run odoo python3 odoo-bin -d beescoop -i base -c odoo.conf

All the modules need to be updated in order to be recognised. To do that run

docker-compose run -p 8096:8096 odoo python odoo.py -c odoo.conf -d beescoop -u all

Once the update has been done, you can simply run the whole project by running

docker-compose up

I like to start the database in the background to only have the logs of the application.

docker-compose up -d db
docker-compose up odoo

5) Login

To login you may either use your account or the admin account whose password should have been reset to admin.
