If you've followed my previous article on Odoo Setup, you would have an odoo setup running in your machine. Today i'll show you how to setup odoo to run as a service.

The following are the assumptions.

odoo sources are at the path /opt/code/odoo.

Local user odoo is part of the group odoo and owner and group of odoo sources folder is set to odoo.

Now follow the below steps to make odoo run as a service.

Move odoo binary into /usr/bin/odoo.

sudo cp /opt/code/odoo/odoo-bin /usr/bin/odoo

Create directory for saving odoo configuration

sudo mkdir /etc/odoo && sudo chown -R odoo:odoo /etc/odoo

Create directory for odoo logs.

sudo mkdir /var/log/odoo && sudo chown -R odoo:odoo /var/log/odoo

Create odoo configuration file.

odoo --save --config odoo.conf --stop-after-init mv odoo.conf /etc/odoo/odoo.conf

If you need to update any configuration, please do the necessary changes in /etc/odoo/odoo.conf file. Refer odoo reference for more information.

Create odoo service.

sudo cp /opt/code/odoo/debian/init /etc/init.d/odoo sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/odoo sudo update-rc.d -f odoo start 20 2 3 4 5 .

Start odoo server.

sudo service odoo start
