To start the Odoo on system boot, type
sudo systemctl enable --now odoo
Odoo service is started on 8069 port. You can verify by the below command.
ss -tunelp | grep 8069
Step 5: Configure Nginx Proxy for Odoo 14
Make sure you’ve installed nginx on your system. If not installed, run the given command to install it.
sudo apt -y install nginx
Here we’ll see two different methods to configure Nginx.
- Configure Nginx HTTP Proxy For Odoo
- Configure Nginx Using Let’s Encrypt SSL Certificate for Odoo
Step 6: Configure Nginx HTTP Proxy For Odoo
Run the below command to create a new config file for Odoo.
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/odoo.conf
Modify the below data to fit your setup.
# Odoo Upstreams
upstream odooserver {
server 127.0.0.1:8069;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name erp.osradar.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx/odoo_access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/odoo_error.log;
# Proxy settings
proxy_read_timeout 720s;
proxy_connect_timeout 720s;
proxy_send_timeout 720s;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
# Request for root domain
location / {
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://odooserver;
}
# Cache static files
location ~* /web/static/ {
proxy_cache_valid 200 90m;
proxy_buffering on;
expires 864000;
proxy_pass http://odooserver;
}
# Gzip
gzip_types text/css text/less text/plain text/xml application/xml application/json application/javascript;
gzip on;
}
Note: Replace erp.osradar.com with your own service domain.
And verify the config syntax.
sabi@Ubuntu20:~$ sudo nginx -t nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
If everything ok, simply restart nginx services.
sudo systemctl restart nginx
You’ll face no error on restart if all settings are ok.
Step 7: Configure Nginx Using Let’s Encrypt SSL Certificate for Odoo
As for security reasons, it is recommended to use SSL certificate for production deployments. Let’s Encrypt provides free SSL that can be used in order to enhance security.
To obtain Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate for your domain, type
wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto chmod +x certbot-auto sudo mv certbot-auto /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto sudo systemctl stop nginx export DOMAIN="erp.osradar.com" export EMAIL="[email protected]" sudo /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto certonly --standalone -d ${DOMAIN} --preferred-challenges http --agree-tos -n -m ${EMAIL} --keep-until-expiring
You’ll see the similar output.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at: /etc/letsencrypt/live/erp.osradar.com/fullchain.pem Your key file has been saved at: /etc/letsencrypt/live/erp.osradar.com/privkey.pem Your cert will expire on 2020-01-17. To obtain a new or tweaked version of this certificate in the future, simply run certbot-auto again. To non-interactively renew all of your certificates, run "certbot-auto renew" Your account credentials have been saved in your Certbot configuration directory at /etc/letsencrypt. You should make a secure backup of this folder now. This configuration directory will also contain certificates and private keys obtained by Certbot so making regular backups of this folder is ideal. If you like Certbot, please consider supporting our work by: Donating to ISRG / Let's Encrypt: https://letsencrypt.org/donate Donating to EFF: https://eff.org/donate-le
Now, add a cron job to renew certificate.
15 3 * * * /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto renew --pre-hook "systemctl stop nginx" --post-hook "systemctl start nginx"
Then create Nginx configuration file.
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/odoo.conf
Modify the given data to fit your setup.

}
# Gzip Compression
gzip_types text/css text/less text/plain text/xml application/xml application/json application/javascript;
gzip on;
}
Note: Make sure to replace erp.osradar.com with your own domain.
Then, restart Nginx
sudo systemctl restart nginx
