We’ll show you, How to Install Odoo 10 on Ubuntu 16.04 with Nginx as a Reverse Proxy. Odoo is one of the most popular and most powerful Open Source ERP business software based on the Python programming language. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Odoo 10 on an Ubuntu 16.04 VPS and show you how to configure Nginx as a reverse proxy for your Odoo 10 so you can access your Odoo application via a domain without typing Odoo\u2019s port in the URL.<\/p>\n
The installation of Odoo 10 on an Ubuntu 16.04 VPS should take no longer than 20 minutes if you follow the very easy steps described below.<\/p>\n
First of all login to your Ubuntu 16.04 VPS via SSH as user root<\/p>\n
ssh root@IP_address<\/pre>\n2. Start a screen session<\/h2>\n
At the very beginning, it is best to start a screen session by executing the following command:<\/p>\n
screen -U -S odoo<\/pre>\n3.\u00a0Update the OS packages<\/h2>\n
Update the OS packages on your virtual server using the following commands:<\/p>\n
apt-get update && apt-get -y upgrade<\/pre>\nMake sure to always keep your server up to date.<\/p>\n
4. Download Install Script<\/h2>\n
In this tutorial, we are going to use the script from Yenthe Van Ginneken to install Odoo. You can download the script by running the following command:<\/p>\n
wget https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/Yenthe666\/InstallScript\/10.0\/odoo_install.sh<\/pre>\nOr, you can create a file and copy the following code to the new file (for example, \u2018odoo_install.sh\u2019).<\/p>\n
nano odoo_install.sh<\/pre>\n#!\/bin\/bash\r\n################################################################################\r\n# Script for installing Odoo V10 on Ubuntu 16.04, 15.04, 14.04 (could be used for other version too)\r\n# Author: Yenthe Van Ginneken\r\n#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n# This script will install Odoo on your Ubuntu 14.04 server.

Make the File Executable<\/h2>\n
After you create the file, in order to run the script we need to make the file executable with the following command:<\/p>\n
chmod +x odoo_install.sh<\/pre>\n6. Run the Script<\/h2>\n
Now we can run the script and wait until Odoo 10 is fully installed.<\/p>\n
.\/odoo_install.sh<\/pre>\n7. Configure Odoo<\/h2>\n
Edit the Odoo configuration file and set the master admin password:<\/p>\n
nano \/etc\/odoo-server.conf<\/pre>\nadmin_passwd = UseStrongPassw0rd<\/pre>\nDon\u2019t forget to replace \u2018UseStrongPassw0rd\u2019 with an actual strong password.<\/p>\n
8. Restart Odoo<\/h2>\n
Restart Odoo for the changes to take effect:<\/p>\n
\/etc\/init.d\/odoo-server restart<\/pre>\nTo access your Odoo, open your browser and navigate to http:\/\/your-server-IP:8069. Initially, you would be asked to create a new database.<\/p>\n
Once the database is created, you will get redirected to the admin panel from where you can log in as the admin user.<\/p>\n
After successfully logging in you can start using your Odoo 10 and configure it to your needs, install additional modules etc.<\/p>\n
9. Setting up a Reverse Proxy<\/h2>\n
In order to access your Odoo application only by using your domain name, without the port number in the URL, we need to set up Nginx<\/a> as a reverse proxy.<\/p>\n
Before installing the Nginx web server, make sure that there is no other web server like Apache installed on the VPS. If Apache web server is running, stop it:<\/p>\n
systemctl stop apache2<\/pre>\nand remove it from your VPS:<\/p>\n
apt-get purge apache2*\r\napt autoremove<\/pre>\nNow, run the following command to install Nginx:<\/p>\n
apt-get install nginx<\/pre>\nOnce it is installed, start the web server and enable it to start on boot:<\/p>\n
systemctl start nginx\r\nsystemctl enable nginx<\/pre>\nYou can check if Nginx is successfully started using the following command:<\/p>\n
systemctl status nginx<\/pre>\nThe output of the command above should be similar to this:<\/p>\n
\u25cf nginx.service - A high performance web server and a reverse proxy server\r\n Loaded: loaded (\/lib\/systemd\/system\/nginx.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)\r\n Active: active (running)\r\n Main PID: 4062 (nginx)\r\n CGroup: \/system.slice\/nginx.service\r\n \u251c\u25004062 nginx: master process \/usr\/sbin\/nginx -g daemon on; master_process on\r\n \u251c\u25004063 nginx: worker process\r\n \u2514\u25004064 nginx: worker process<\/pre>\nYou can also verify if Nginx is running, by accessing
http:\/\/YOUR_IP<\/code> in your favorite web browser.<\/p>\nCreate a new Nginx server block with the following content:<\/p>\n
nano \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/my-odoo-site.com<\/pre>\nupstream odoo {\r\n server 127.0.0.1:8069;\r\n}\r\n\r\nserver {\r\n listen 80 default;\r\n server_name my-odoo-site.com;\r\n\r\n access_log \/var\/log\/nginx\/odoo.access.log;\r\n error_log \/var\/log\/nginx\/odoo.error.log;\r\n\r\n proxy_buffers 16 64k;\r\n proxy_buffer_size 128k;\r\n\r\n location \/ {\r\n proxy_pass http:\/\/odoo;\r\n proxy_next_upstream error timeout invalid_header http_500 http_502 http_503 http_504;\r\n proxy_redirect off;\r\n\r\n proxy_set_header Host $host;\r\n proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;\r\n proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;\r\n proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;\r\n }\r\n\r\n location ~* \/web\/static\/ {\r\n proxy_cache_valid 200 60m;\r\n proxy_buffering on;\r\n expires 864000;\r\n proxy_pass http:\/\/odoo;\r\n }\r\n}<\/pre>\nActivate the server block by creating a symbolic link :<\/p>\n
ln -s \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/my-odoo-site.com \/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/my-odoo-site.com<\/pre>\nDelete the default configuration:<\/p>\n
rm -f \/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/default<\/pre>\nTest the Nginx configuration and restart nginx:<\/p>\n
nginx -t\r\nservice nginx restart<\/pre>\nThat\u2019s it. If you followed all of the instructions properly you can now access your Odoo 10 using your domain name.<\/p>\n
\nOf course you don\u2019t have to install Odoo 10 on Ubuntu 16.04 with Nginx as a reverse proxy, if you use one of our managed cloud hosting<\/a> services, in which case you can simply ask our expert Linux admins to to install Odoo 10 on Ubuntu 16.04 with Nginx as a reverse proxy, for you. They are available 24\u00d77 and will take care of your request immediately.<\/p>\n
