## TL;DR

```console
docker run --name odoo bitnami/odoo:latest
```

**Warning**: This quick setup is only intended for development environments. You are encouraged to change the insecure default credentials and check out the available configuration options in the [Environment Variables](#environment-variables) section for a more secure d
eployment.

## Why use Bitnami Secure Images?

Those are hardened, minimal CVE images built and maintained by Bitnami. Bitnami Secure Images are based on the cloud-optimized, security-hardened enterprise [OS Photon Linux](https://vmware.github.io/photon/). Why choose BSI images?

- Hardened secure images of popular open source software with Near-Zero Vulnerabilities
- Vulnerability Triage & Prioritization with VEX Statements, KEV and EPSS Scores
- Compliance focus with FIPS, STIG, and air-gap options, including secure bill of materials (SBOM)
- Software supply chain provenance attestation through in-toto
- First class support for the internet’s favorite Helm charts

Each image comes with valuable security metadata. You can view the metadata in [our public catalog here](https://app-catalog.vmware.com/bitnami/apps). Note: Some data is only available with [commercial subscriptions to BSI](https://bitnami.com/).

## How to deploy Odoo in Kubernetes?

Deploying Bitnami applications as Helm Charts is the easiest way to get started with our applications on Kubernetes. Read more about the installation in the
[Bitnami Odoo Chart GitHub repository](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/master/bitnami/odoo).

## Supported tags and respective `Dockerfile` links

Learn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags [in our documentation page](https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-tanzu/application-catalog/tanzu-application-catalog/services/tac-doc/apps-tutorials-understand-rolling-tags-containers-index.html).

## Get this image

The recommended way to get the Bitnami Odoo Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the [Docker Hub Registry](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/odoo).

```console
docker pull bitnami/odoo:latest
```

To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the [list of available versions](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/odoo/tags/) in the Docker Hub Registry.

```console
docker pull bitnami/odoo:[TAG]
```

If you wish, you can also build the image yourself by cloning the repository, changing to the directory containing the Dockerfile and executing the `docker build` command. Remember to replace the `APP`, `VERSION` and `OPERATING-SYSTEM` path placeholders in the example command below with the correct values.

```console
git clone https://github.com/bitnami/containers.git
cd bitnami/APP/VERSION/OPERATING-SYSTEM
docker build -t bitnami/APP:latest .
```

## How to use this image

Odoo requires access to a PostgreSQL database to store information. We'll use the [Bitnami Docker Image for PostgreSQL](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/postgresql) for the database requirements.

### Run the application using Docker Compose

Please be aware this file has not undergone internal testing. Consequently, we advise its use exclusively for development or testing purposes. For production-ready deployments, we highly recommend utilizing its associated [Bitnami Helm chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/odoo).

## Persisting your application

If you remove the container all your data will be lost, and the next time you run the image the database will be reinitialized. To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed.

For persistence you should mount a directory at the `/bitnami/odoo` path. If the mounted directory is empty, it will be initialized on the first run. Additionally you should [mount a volume for persistence of the PostgreSQL data](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/postgresql#persisting-your-database).

The above examples define the Docker volumes named `postgresql_data` and `odoo_data`. The Odoo application state will persist as long as volumes are not removed.

To avoid inadvertent removal of volumes, you can [mount host directories as data volumes](https://docs.docker.com/engine/tutorials/dockervolumes/). Alternatively you can make use of volume plugins to host the volume data.

> **NOTE** As this is a non-root container, the mounted files and directories must have the proper permissions for the UID `1001`.

## Configuration

The following section describes the supported environment variables

### Environment variables

The following tables list the main variables you can set.

When you start the Odoo image, you can adjust the configuration of the instance by passing one or more environment variables either on the docker-compose file or on the `docker run` command line.

### Examples

#### SMTP configuration

The `ODOO_SMTP_*` environment variables allows you configure the SMTP settings in the application. Please take a look at the environment variables information above.

#### Connect Odoo container to an existing database

The Bitnami Odoo container supports connecting the Odoo application to an external database. In case the database already contains data from a previous Odoo installation, you need to set the variable `ODOO_SKIP_BOOTSTRAP` to `yes`. Otherwise, the container would execute the installation wizard and could modify the existing data in the database. Note that, when setting `ODOO_SKIP_BOOTSTRAP` to `yes`, values for environment variables such as `ODOO_EMAIL` or `ODOO_PASSWORD` will be ignored.

### FIPS configuration in Bitnami Secure Images

The Bitnami Odoo Docker image from the [Bitnami Secure Images](https://go-vmware.broadcom.com/contact-us) catalog includes extra features and settings to configure the container with FIPS capabilities. You can configure the next environment variables:

- `OPENSSL_FIPS`: whether OpenSSL runs in FIPS mode or not. `yes` (default), `no`.

## Logging

The Bitnami Odoo Docker image sends the container logs to `stdout`. To view the logs:

```console
docker logs odoo
```

Or using Docker Compose:

```console
docker-compose logs odoo
```

You can configure the containers [logging driver](https://docs.docker.com/engine/admin/logging/overview/) using the `--log-driver` option if you wish to consume the container logs differently. In the default configuration docker uses the `json-file` driver.

## Maintenance

### Backing up your container

To backup your data, configuration and logs, follow these simple steps:

#### Step 1: Stop the currently running container

```console
docker stop odoo
```

Or using Docker Compose:

```console
docker-compose stop odoo
```

#### Step 2: Run the backup command

We need to mount two volumes in a container we will use to create the backup: a directory on your host to store the backup in, and the volumes from the container we just stopped so we can access the data.

```console
docker run --rm -v /path/to/odoo-backups:/backups --volumes-from odoo busybox \
  cp -a /bitnami/odoo /backups/latest
```

### Restoring a backup

Restoring a backup is as simple as mounting the backup as volumes in the containers.

For the PostgreSQL database container:

```diff
 $ docker run -d --name postgresql \
   ...
-  --volume /path/to/postgresql-persistence:/bitnami/postgresql \
+  --volume /path/to/postgresql-backups/latest:/bitnami/postgresql \
   bitnami/postgresql:latest
```

For the Odoo container:

```diff
 $ docker run -d --name odoo \
   ...
-  --volume /path/to/odoo-persistence:/bitnami/odoo \
+  --volume /path/to/odoo-backups/latest:/bitnami/odoo \
   bitnami/odoo:latest
```

## Notable Changes

### 12.0.20210615-debian-10-r20, 13.0.20210610-debian-10-r24 and 14.0.20210610-debian-10-r22

- The size of the container image has been decreased.
- The configuration logic is now based on Bash scripts in the *rootfs/* folder.
- It is now possible to use an already populated Odoo database from another installation. In order to do this, use the environment variable `ODOO_SKIP_BOOTSTRAP`, which forces the container not to run the initial Odoo setup wizard.
- Removed port 8071 from list of exposed ports. This port was used by the Odoo XMLRPCS service, but was removed in Odoo 10.
- Added port 8072 to the list of exposed ports. This port is used by the [Odoo Longpolling service](https://www.odoo.com/documentation/14.0/administration/deployment/deploy.html#livechat).
- The `WITHOUT_DEMO` environment variable was deprecated in favor of the boolean `ODOO_LOAD_DEMO_DATA` environment variable.
