Hit CTRL + X followed by Y and Enter to save the file and exit.

Here are the configuration details.

• version: Compose file version which is compatible with the Docker Engine. You can check compatibility here.
• services: here we have 4 services named odoo, postgres, nginx and certbot.
• image: We use latest Odoo 15, Postgres 14, Nginx and Certbot images available in Docker hub.
• volumes:
  • nginx/conf: here we will place the Nginx configuration file to be synced with the default Nginx conf.d folder inside the container.
  • etc/odoo: here we will place the Odoo 15 database configuration.
  • cedtbot/conf: this is where we will receive the SSL certificate and this will be synced with the folder we wish to inside the container.
  • ports: configure the container to listen upon the listed ports.
  • command: the command used to receive the SSL certificate.

Step 3: Create Odoo Configuration

Now you can use custom Odoo configuration inside the directory as mentioned in the yml file in the Oddo service.

mkdir -p etc/odoo

Create a new file named odoo.conf

nano etc/odoo/odoo.conf

Replace the highlighted values corresponding to your PostgreSQL values.

[options]
; This is the password that allows database operations:
; admin_passwd = admin
db_host = postgres
db_user = odoo
db_password = odoo

Here we will use the hostname same as the PostgreSQL service name.

Step 4: Configure Nginx

Now you can create he default configuration file inside the directory as mentioned in the yml file in the Nginx service.

mkdir -p nginx/conf

Create a new file named default.conf

nano nginx/conf/default.conf

Paste the following configuration and replace the appropriate values with your domain name.

server {
    listen [::]:80;
    listen 80;

    location ~ /.well-known/acme-challenge {
        allow all;
        root /var/www/html;
    }

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_pass http://odoo:8069;
    }

    location ~* /web/static/ {
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_pass http://odoo:8069;
    }
}

Step 5: Deploy Odoo with Docker

Now you can make the deployment using the following command.

Start the containers using the following command, you will receive the SSL certificates once the containers are started.

docker-compose up -d

Once all containers are started you will see additional directories for SSL will be created alongside your docker-compose.yml file.

The directory certbot holds all the files related to your SSL certificates.

To view the containers you can execute the following command.

docker-compose ps

Step 6: Configure SSL for Odoo in Docker

As you have received the Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate you can configure HTTPS and setup redirection to HTTPS.

Edit the default.conf and make the following changes.

sudo nano nginx/conf/default.conf

server {
    listen [::]:80;
    listen 80;

    server_name domain.com;

    return 301 https://www.domain.com$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
    listen 443 ssl http2;

    server_name domain.com;

    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/live/domain.com/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/live/domain.com/privkey.pem;

    return 301 https://www.domain.com$request_uri;
}
server {
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
    listen 443 ssl http2;

    server_name domain.com;

    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/live/domain.com/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/live/domain.com/privkey.pem;

    location ~ /.well-known/acme-challenge {
        allow all;
        root /var/www/html;
    }

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_pass http://odoo:8069;
    }

    location ~* /web/static/ {
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_pass http://odoo:8069;
    }
}

Now restart the Nginx service to load the new configurations.

docker-compose restart nginx

Step 7: Setup Odoo

Now you can visit your domain name on your web browser. You will see the page similar to the one below. Here you can create the database and admin user for your Odoo.

Fill in all appropriate values and click create database. Now Odoo will be ready to use.
