Installation Odoo13 on CentOS8 with IPV6 and Let's Encrypt

Hauseigenes Apt-Repo: https://apt.iteas.at

In this tutorial, we will learn how to install and configure Odoo 13 with Nginx as a reverse proxy on CentOS 8 server with IPV4 and IPV6.

Requirements

Getting Started

First, update the system and install EPEL repository with the following command:

dnf update
dnf install epel-release

Next, you will need to install some tools and dependencies needed to build the Odoo on your system. You can install all of them with the following command:

dnf install python36 python36-devel git gcc wget nodejs libxslt-devel bzip2-devel openldap-devel libjpeg-devel freetype-devel

Once all the packages are installed, you can proceed to the next step.

Create Odoo User

Next, you will need to create a new system user with name odoo and home directory /opt/odoo using the following command:

useradd -m -U -r -d /opt/odoo -s /bin/bash odoo

Install and Configure PostgreSQL

Odoo uses PostgreSQL to store their data. So you will need to install PostgreSQL on your server. You can install it with the following command:

dnf install postgresql postgresql-server postgresql-contrib

Once installed, initialize the database with the following command:

/usr/bin/postgresql-setup initdb

You should get the following output:

* Initializing database in '/var/lib/pgsql/data'
* Initialized, logs are in /var/lib/pgsql/initdb_postgresql.log

Next, start the PostgreSQL service and enable it to start after system reboot with the following command:

systemctl start postgresql && systemctl enable postgresql && systemctl status postgresql

Next, you will need to create a new PostgreSQL user with the same name as system user as shown below:

su - postgres -c "createuser -s odoo"

Install Wkhtmltopdf

Next, you will need to install wkhtmltopdf tool in your system so that Odoo can print PDF reports. You can install it with the following command:

wget https://downloads.wkhtmltopdf.org/0.12/0.12.5/wkhtmltox-0.12.5-1.centos7.x86_64.rpm
dnf localinstall wkhtmltox-0.12.5-1.centos7.x86_64.rpm
dnf install compat-openssl10 libpng15

Install and Configure Odoo 13

First, switch to the Odoo user with the following command:

su - odoo

Next, download the latest version of the Odoo 13 from the Git repository using the git command:

git clone https://www.github.com/odoo/odoo --depth 1 --branch 13.0 /opt/odoo/odoo13

Next, create a new virtual environment for Odoo 13 instance with the following command:

cd /opt/odoo && python3 -m venv odoo13-venv

Next, activate the virtual environment with the following command:

source odoo13-venv/bin/activate

You should get the following output:

(odoo13-venv) [odoo@centos8 ~]$

Next, install all the required Python modules for Odoo 13 with the following command:

pip3 install -r odoo13/requirements.txt

Once all the required modules are installed, deactivate the virtual environment and exit from the Odoo user with the following command:

deactivate
exit

Next, create a new directory to store the Odoo custom modules and Odoo logs:

mkdir /opt/odoo/odoo13-custom-addons && mkdir /var/log/odoo13 && touch /var/log/odoo13/odoo.log

Next, change the ownership of both directory to the odoo user with the following command:

chown -R odoo:odoo /opt/odoo/odoo13-custom-addons && chown -R odoo:odoo /var/log/odoo13/

Next, create a new configuration file for Odoo 13 using the following command:

nano /etc/odoo.conf

Add the following lines:

[options]
admin_passwd = admin@123
db_host = False
db_port = False
db_user = odoo
db_password = False
xmlrpc_port = 8069
http_interface = ::
logfile = /var/log/odoo13/odoo.log
logrotate = True
addons_path = /opt/odoo/odoo13/addons,/opt/odoo/odoo13-custom-addons

Create a Systemd Service file for Odoo 13

Next, you will need to create a new systemd unit file for Odoo 13 to manage the Odoo service. You can create it with the following command:

nano /etc/systemd/system/odoo13.service

Add the following lines:

[Unit]
Description=Odoo13
#Requires=postgresql-10.6.service
#After=network.target postgresql-10.6.service
[Service]
Type=simple
SyslogIdentifier=odoo13
PermissionsStartOnly=true
User=odoo
Group=odoo
ExecStart=/opt/odoo/odoo13-venv/bin/python3 /opt/odoo/odoo13/odoo-bin -c /etc/odoo.conf
StandardOutput=journal+console
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Save and close the file. Then, reload the systemd daemon, start Odoo, enable it at autostart and see the status with the following command:

systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl start odoo13 && systemctl enable odoo13 && systemctl status odoo13

You should get the following output:

● odoo13.service - Odoo13
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/odoo13.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Fri 2020-01-31 23:47:50 CET; 1 day 12h ago
 Main PID: 952 (python3)
    Tasks: 6 (limit: 24843)
   Memory: 378.0M
   CGroup: /system.slice/odoo13.service
           └─952 /opt/odoo/odoo13-venv/bin/python3 /opt/odoo/odoo13/odoo-bin -c /etc/odoo.conf

By default, Odoo listens on port 8069. You can check it with the following command:

netstat -plntu | grep 8069

You should see the following output:

tcp6       0      0 :::8069                 :::*                    LISTEN      12787/python3

Configure Nginx as a Reverse Proxy with Let's Encrypt for Odoo 13

Next, you will need to install and configure the Nginx as a reverse proxy for Odoo 13 instance. First, install the Nginx web server with the following command:

dnf install nginx mod_ssl

Once installed, create a new virtual host configuration file with the following command:

nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/odoo13.conf
upstream odoo {
 server [::1]:8069;
}

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name foo.example.com;
    include /etc/nginx/snippets/letsencrypt.conf;
    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/odoo13.access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/odoo13.error.log;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
    server_name foo.example.com;

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/foo.example.com/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/foo.example.com/privkey.pem;
    ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/foo.example.com/chain.pem;
    include /etc/nginx/snippets/ssl.conf;
    include /etc/nginx/snippets/letsencrypt.conf;

            location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;


        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_pass http://odoo;
    }

location ~* /web/static/ {
        proxy_cache_valid 200 90m;
        proxy_buffering on;
        expires 864000;
        proxy_pass http://odoo;
    }

    gzip_types text/css text/less text/plain text/xml application/xml application/json application/javascript;
    gzip on;
}

For the initial setup you must comment out allo SSL entries in this file. After that edit the file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, and replace the file with this:

user nginx;
worker_processes auto;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
pid /run/nginx.pid;

include /usr/share/nginx/modules/*.conf;

events {
    worker_connections 1024;
}

http {
    log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
                      '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
                      '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log  main;

    sendfile            on;
    tcp_nopush          on;
    tcp_nodelay         on;
    keepalive_timeout   65;
    types_hash_max_size 2048;

    include             /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    default_type        application/octet-stream;

    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;

    server {
        listen       80 default_server;
        listen       [::]:80 default_server;
        server_name  _;
        root         /var/lib/letsencrypt;
        #return 301 https://$host$request_uri;

        include /etc/nginx/default.d/*.conf;

        error_page 404 /404.html;
        error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
    }
}

Save and close the file when you are finished. Then, start the Nginx service and enable it to start after system reboot with the following command:

systemctl start nginx && systemctl enable nginx && systemctl status nginx

You should see the following output:

Configure Firewall

If you are behind a real firewall, it is a good idea to disable the firewall completly.

systemctl stop firewalld && systemctl disable firewalld && systemctl mask --now firewalld && firewall-cmd --state

By default, SELinux is enabled in CentOS 8. So you will need to allow HTTP through SELinux. You can allow it with the following command:

setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on

Install and configure Let's Encrypt

cd /root
wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto
mv certbot-auto /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto
chown root /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto
chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto
/usr/local/bin/certbot-auto certonly --agree-tos --email foo@example.com --webroot -w /var/lib/letsencrypt/ -d foo.example.com

After setup is finished, comment in all SSL entries again, and restart Nginx. systemctl restart nginx Now it is easy to create some cronjob weekly to renew the certificate from Let's Encrypt automaticly.

crontab -e
@weekly root test -x /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto -a \! -d /run/systemd/system && perl -e 'sleep int(rand(3600))' && /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto -q renew --renew-hook "systemctl reload nginx"

If you would like to test it you can do it with this simple command:

certbot-auto renew --dry-run

Access Odoo 13 Web Interface

Now, Odoo 13 is installed and configured. It's time to access the Odoo 13 web interface. Open your web browser and type the URL http://example.com. You will be redirected to the following page:

Now, provide your Master Password, Database name, Email, Password, Country and click on the Create database button. You will be redirected to the Odoo 13 Administration page:

In the above tutorial, you learned how to install and configure Odoo 13 on CentOS 8 server. You also learned how to configure Nginx as a reverse proxy for Odoo 13. You can now customize your Odoo 13 instance as per your business needs.

Update your Odoo over GIT

su - odoo

Next, download the latest version of the Odoo 13 from the Git repository using the git command:

cd /opt/odoo/odoo13
git pull

Next, create a new virtual environment for Odoo 13 instance with the following command:

cd /opt/odoo
python3 -m venv odoo13-venv

Next, activate the virtual environment with the following command:

source odoo13-venv/bin/activate

You should get the following output:

(odoo13-venv) [odoo@centos8 ~]$

Next, update all the required Python modules for Odoo 13 with the following command:

pip3 install -r odoo13/requirements.txt

Once all the required modules are updated, deactivate the virtual environment and exit from the Odoo user with the following command:

deactivate
exit

And last, restart Odoo.
