Odoo

Ansible role to install Odoo from a Git or Mercurial repository, and configure it.

This role supports two types of installation:

• standard: install the Odoo dependencies from APT repositories and the Odoo project from a Git/Hg repository. Odoo is configured with Ansible options (odoo_config_* ones).

• buildout: build the Odoo project from a Git/Hg repository containing a Buildout configuration file based on the anybox.recipe.odoo recipe. Odoo and its dependencies are then installed and executed inside a Python virtual environment. The configuration part is also managed by Buildout (odoo_config_* options are not used excepting the odoo_config_db_* ones for PostgreSQL related tasks).

Minimum Ansible Version: 2.4

Supported versions and systems

System / Odoo	8.0	9.0	10.0	11.0
Debian 8	yes	yes	yes	-
Debian 9	yes	yes	yes	yes
Ubuntu 14.04	yes	yes	yes	-

Example (Playbook)

odoo_install_type: standard (default)

Standard installation (assuming that PostgreSQL is installed and running on the same host):

- name: Odoo
  hosts: odoo_server
  become: yes
  roles:
    - role: odoo
      odoo_version: 11.0
      odoo_config_admin_passwd: SuPerPassWorD

With the standard installation type you configure Odoo with the available odoo_config_* options.

Standard installation but with PostgreSQL installed on a remote host (and available from your Ansible inventory):

- name: Odoo
  hosts: odoo_server
  become: yes
  roles:
    - role: odoo
      odoo_version: 11.0
      odoo_config_admin_passwd: SuPerPassWorD
      odoo_config_db_host: pg_server
      odoo_config_db_user: odoo
      odoo_config_db_passwd: PaSsWoRd

Standard installation from a personnal Git repository such as your repository looks like this:

REPO/
├── server              # could be a sub-repository of https://github.com/odoo/odoo
├── addons_oca_web      # another sub-repository (https://github.com/OCA/web here)
├── addons_oca_connector    # yet another sub-repository (https://github.com/OCA/connector)
└── addons              # custom modules

Here we set some options required by the connector framework:

- name: Odoo
  hosts: odoo_server
  become: yes
  roles:
    - role: odoo
      odoo_version: 11.0
      odoo_repo_type: git
      odoo_repo_url: https://SERVER/REPO
      odoo_repo_rev: master
      odoo_repo_dest: "/home/{{ odoo_user }}/odoo"
      odoo_init_env:
        ODOO_CONNECTOR_CHANNELS: root:2
      odoo_config_admin_passwd: SuPerPassWorD
      odoo_config_addons_path:
        - "/home/{{ odoo_user }}/odoo/server/openerp/addons"
        - "/home/{{ odoo_user }}/odoo/server/addons"
        - "/home/{{ odoo_user }}/odoo/addons_oca_web"
        - "/home/{{ odoo_user }}/odoo/addons_oca_connector"
        - "/home/{{ odoo_user }}/odoo/addons"
      odoo_config_server_wide_modules: web,web_kanban,connector
      odoo_config_workers: 8

odoo_install_type: buildout

With a Buildout installation type, Odoo is installed and configured directly by Buildout:

- name: Odoo
  hosts: odoo_server
  become: yes
  roles:
    - role: odoo
      odoo_install_type: buildout
      odoo_version: 11.0
      odoo_repo_type: git
      odoo_repo_url: https://github.com/osiell/odoo-buildout-example.git
      odoo_repo_rev: "{{ odoo_version }}"
      odoo_repo_dest: "/home/{{ odoo_user }}/odoo"

The same but with PostgreSQL installed on a remote host (and available from your Ansible inventory):

- name: Odoo
  hosts: odoo_server
  become: yes
  roles:
    - role: odoo
      odoo_install_type: buildout
      odoo_version: 11.0
      odoo_repo_type: git
      odoo_repo_url: https://github.com/osiell/odoo-buildout-example.git
      odoo_repo_rev: "{{ odoo_version }}"
      odoo_repo_dest: "/home/{{ odoo_user }}/odoo"
      odoo_config_db_host: pg_server
      odoo_config_db_user: odoo
      odoo_config_db_passwd: PaSsWoRd

By default Ansible is looking for a bootstrap.py script and a buildout.cfg file at the root of the cloned repository to call Buildout, but you can change that to point to your own files. Assuming your repository looks like this:

REPO/
├── addons              # custom modules
├── bin
│   └── bootstrap.py
├── builtout.cfg
├── builtout.dev.cfg
├── builtout.prod.cfg
└── builtout.test.cfg

We just set the relevant options to tell Ansible the files to use with the odoo_buildout_* options:

- name: Odoo
  hosts: odoo_server
  become: yes
  roles:
    - role: odoo
      odoo_install_type: buildout
      odoo_version: 11.0
      odoo_repo_type: git
      odoo_repo_url: https://SERVER/REPO
      odoo_repo_rev: master
      odoo_repo_dest: "/home/{{ odoo_user }}/odoo"
      odoo_buildout_bootstrap_path: "/home/{{ odoo_user }}/odoo/bin/bootstrap.py"
      odoo_buildout_config_path: "/home/{{ odoo_user }}/odoo/buildout.prod.cfg"
