odoo-docker-deployment

authentic

Production-ready Docker and docker-compose setup for Odoo with PostgreSQL, persistent volumes, environment-based configuration, and Nginx reverse proxy.

When to use

• Spinning up a local Odoo development environment with Docker.
• Deploying Odoo to a VPS or cloud server (AWS, DigitalOcean, etc.).
• Troubleshooting Odoo container startup failures or database connection errors.
• Adding a reverse proxy with SSL to an existing Odoo Docker setup.

When not to use

• This skill covers **self-hosted Docker deployments** — Odoo.sh (cloud-managed hosting) has a completely different deployment model.
• **Horizontal scaling** (multiple Odoo containers behind a load balancer) requires shared filestore (NFS or S3-compatible storage) not covered here.
• Does not include an Nginx configuration template — consult the [official Odoo Nginx docs](https://www.odoo.com/documentation/17.0/administration/install/deploy.html) for the full reverse proxy config.
• The `addons_path` inside the Docker image may change with new base image versions — always verify after upgrading the Odoo image.
