The environment variables are explained in detail further down.

Lifecycle

The Mint System Odoo image has this container lifecycle in mind:

  • Initialize: Clone addons and initialize the database.
  • Start: The container starts and updates the execution environment.
  • Execution: Actions performed while the container is running.
  • Analyze: Analyse the current state of the container.

Initialize

Before starting the container you can initalize the database with selected scripts.

Run the download-odoo-enterprise script to download the Odoo Enterprise modules:

docker compose run --rm odoo download-odoo-enterprise

Run the git-clone-addons script to clone module repos:

docker compose run --rm odoo git-clone-addons

Run the init-db script to initalize the Odoo database:

docker compose run --rm odoo init-db

The scripts are configured with environment variables.

Start

Once you start the container the entrypoint.sh script will:

  • Run the set-addons-path script to assemble the addons path.
  • Run the auto-envsubst script to template the odoo.conf file.
  • Run the python-install script to install the Python packages.
  • Wait for the database to be ready.
  • Run the odoo-update script to update modules.
  • Start the Odoo server.

Execution

Once the container is running, install modules with:

docker compose run --rm odoo init-module partner_firstname

Or update modules with this command:

docker compose run --rm odoo update-modules

This will start a detached Odoo process and updates modules that have a different checksum.

Analyze

With the Manifestoo cli you can query the module manifest files.

List all modules:

docker exec odoo manifestoo --select-found list

Environment Variables

The container can be configured with environment variables. This section shows all the variables in detail:

ADDON_GIT_REPO=git@github.com:OCA/server-tools.git#16.0,git@github.com:Mint-System/Odoo-Apps-Server-Tools.gi#16.0
ADDON_GIT_REPO=https://github.com/OCA/server-tools.git#16.0,https://github.com/Mint-System/Odoo-Apps-Server-Tools.gi#16.0

If you use a git url make sure a valid SSH private/public key is defined.

Addons Path

The entrypoint script searches for module folders in the addons path and creates a new addons path.

  • ODOO_ADDONS_PATH Comma seperated list of container paths pointing to addon folders.
