docker-odoo-project

A base image for our Odoo projects.

This image alone does nothing because it doesn't contain any Odoo's code. The code should be added in a Dockerfile inheriting from this image.

A project using this image has to respect a defined structure, look at the example.

See also the Changelog.

Image Flavors

There are 4 flavors of the image:

• normal: odoo-project:${odoo_version}-${tag_version}
• normal-onbuild: odoo-project:${odoo_version}-${tag_version}-onbuild
• batteries-included: odoo-project:${odoo_version}-${tag_version}-batteries
• batteries-included-onbuild: odoo-project:${odoo_version}-${tag_version}-batteries-onbuild

Note: in production, we strongly recommend to never use the "latest" tag. Instead use a specific version in order to be able to rebuild identical images.

Normal or Batteries-included?

The batteries-included image is exactly the same image, with a list of additional pre-installed python packages. The packages have been chosen because of their prevalent usage in OCA addons.

The list of package (with their version) is defined in the extra_requirements.txt file.

• 9.0/extra_requirements.txt
• 10.0/extra_requirements.txt
• 11.0/extra_requirements.txt

you can also see the Dockerfile that generate this image here: common/Dockerfile-batteries

With or without onbuild?

The onbuild flavors add default ONBUILD instructions in the Dockerfile in order to simplify the generation of custom image.

For more information on the ONBUILD command please read Docker documentation

The dockerfile for this flavor is here: common/Dockerfile-onbuild

For comparison, two example of Dockerfile are shown in the project example here:

• without onbuild: example/odoo/Dockerfile
• with onbuild: example/odoo/Dockerfile-onbuild

Note: the Dockerfile of the onbuild flavor is shorter but

• you can not create intermediary custom image based on it (as ONBUILD instruction need to be played).
• the official docker images have deprecated their -onbuild images: docker-library/official-images#2076

Build

The images should be build with make:

Normal flavors:

# generate image camptocamp/odoo-project:11.0-latest and camptocamp/odoo-project:11.0-latest-onbuild
$ make VERSION=11.0
# generate image camptocamp/odoo-project:10.0-latest and camptocamp/odoo-project:10.0-latest-onbuild
$ make VERSION=10.0
# generate image camptocamp/odoo-project:9.0-latest and camptocamp/odoo-project:9.0-latest-onbuild
$ make VERSION=9.0

Batteries-included flavors:

# generate image camptocamp/odoo-project:11.0-batteries-latest and camptocamp/odoo-project:11.0-latest-batteries-onbuild
$ make VERSION=11.0 BATTERIES=True
# generate image camptocamp/odoo-project:10.0-batteries-latest and camptocamp/odoo-project:10.0-latest-batteries-onbuild
$ make VERSION=10.0 BATTERIES=True
# generate image camptocamp/odoo-project:9.0-batteries-latest and camptocamp/odoo-project:9.0-latest-batteries-onbuild
$ make VERSION=9.0 BATTERIES=True

Configuration

The host for the database is in $DB_HOST (db by default).

A volume /data/odoo is declared, which is expected to contain Odoo's filestore (this path is set in openerp.cfg).

Ports 8069 and 8072 are exposed by default.

Environment variables

ODOO_BASE_URL

The ir.config_parameter web.base.url will be automatically set to this domain when the container starts. web.base.url.freeze will be set to True. Default url is http://localhost:8069. If ODOO_BASE_URL is set to an empty value, the configuration parameters will be left unchanged.

MIGRATE

MIGRATE can be True or False and determines whether migration tool marabunta will be launched. By default migration will be launched.

MARABUNTA_MODE

In Marabunta versions, you can declare additional execution modes, such as demo or full in order to choose which operations and addons are executed for a migration.

A typical use case would be:

• Install the set of addons in the base mode (the base mode is always executed)
• Load an excerpt of the data in the demo mode, used for test instances
• Load the complete dataset in the full mode, used for the integration and production servers

On the test server, you would set MARABUNTA_MODE=demo and on the production one MARABUNTA_MODE=full.

MARABUNTA_ALLOW_SERIE

By default, Marabunta does not allow to execute more than one version upgrade at a time. This is because it is dangerous to execute a migration script (say 9.1.0) if the version of the code is not the same (say 9.2.0).

For a production server, it works, because usually you only want to upgrade to the last version N from N-1. But for development or a test server, you might want to take the risk of running all the migration scripts consecutively, this is what MARABUNTA_ALLOW_SERIE=True is for.

MARABUNTA_FORCE_VERSION

When you are developing / testing migrations with Marabunta, you can force the upgrade of a specific version with MARABUNTA_FORCE_VERSION=<version>.

ODOO_DATA_PATH

Specifies path of data folder where to put base setup data for your project. In anthem songs this allows you to pass relative paths instead of recovering the full path via module resource paths. More precisely, if you set this var you can skip this in your songs:

  from pkg_resources import Requirement, resource_stream

  req = Requirement.parse('my-odoo')


  def load_csv(ctx, path, model, delimiter=',',
               header=None, header_exclude=None):
      content = resource_stream(req, path)
      load_csv(ctx, content, ...)

and use anthem loader straight::

  from anthem.lyrics.loaders import load_csv

  load_csv('relative/path/to/file', ...)

NOTE: anthem > 0.11.0 is required.

DEMO

DEMO can be True or False and determines whether Odoo will load its Demo data. It has effect only at the creation of the database.

LOCAL_USER_ID

By default, the user ID inside of the container will be 9001. There is little concern with this ID until we setup a host volume: the same user ID will be used to write the files on the host's filesystem. 9001 will probably be inexistent on the host system but at least it will not collide with an actual user.

Instead, you can set the ID of the host's system in LOCAL_USER_ID, which will then be shared by the container. All the files created in host volumes will then share the same user.

CREATE_DB_CACHE

Used in bin/runtests and bin/runmigration.

If set to "true", will create a dump in .cachedb of an intermediate state of the tests or migration. By default not set, thus unactivated.

LOAD_DB_CACHE

Used in bin/runtests and bin/runmigration.

If set to "false", will skip trying to reload a cached dump from .cachedb.

SUBS_MD5

This value is used in bin/runtests to determine the name of the intermediate state to load or create.

Value to tag a database dump of bin/runtests, for instance it can be based on submodules in .travis.yml of your git repositories in odoo/src and in odoo/external-src:

export SUBS_MD5=$(git submodule status | md5sum | cut -d ' ' -f1)

You want this value to be unique and identify your dependencies, thus if a dependency change you need to generate a new one.

MIG_LOAD_VERSION_CEIL

Used in bin/runmigration to specify from which dump we want to play the migration. In case you have a dump per version, you can play the migration against the version of your choice. If the version specified does not exists, it will search for a lower occurence.

It will load a dump lower than "odoo_sample_$MIG_LOAD_VERSION_CEIL.dmp" This is useful if you bumped odoo/VERSION as it won't match existing dumps.

For instance you have made a dump 10.1.0, you are now on the version 10.2.0, if you pass your current version it will search for a dump lower than 10.2.0 and restore the 10.1.0. Then play the remaining steps on top of it.

Odoo Configuration Options

The main configuration options of Odoo can be configured through environment variables. The name of the environment variables are the same of the options but uppercased (eg. workers becomes WORKERS).

Look in 11.0/templates/odoo.cfg.tmpl to see the full list.

While most of the variables can be set in the docker-compose file so we can have different values for different environments, the ADDONS_PATH must be set in the Dockerfile of your project with a line such as:

ENV ADDONS_PATH=/odoo/local-src,/odoo/external-src/server-tools,/odoo/src/addons

By setting this value in the Dockerfile, it will be integrated into the build and thus will be consistent across each environment.

By the way, you can add other ENV variables in your project's Dockerfile if you want to customize the default values of some variables for a project.

Running tests

runtests

Inside the container, a script runtests is used for running the tests on Travis.

Unless LOAD_DB_CACHE is set to falseit will search for a dump of dependencies and restore it. Otherwise, will create a new database, find theodoo/external-srcandodoo/srcdependencies of the local addons and ifCREATE_DB_CACHE` is activated creates a dump of that state.

Then it will install local addons, run their tests and show the code coverage.

docker-compose run --rm [-e CREATE_DB_CACHE=true] [-e LOAD_DB_CACHE=false] [-e SUBS_MD5=<hash>] odoo runtests

This is not the day-to-day tool for running the tests as a developer.

pytests

pytest is included and can be invoked when starting a container. It needs an existing database to run the tests:

docker-compose run --rm -e DB_NAME=testdb odoo testdb-gen -i my_addon
docker-compose run --rm -e DB_NAME=testdb odoo pytest -s odoo/local-src/my_addon/tests/test_feature.py::TestFeature::test_it_passes

When you make changes in the addon, you need to update it in Odoo before running the tests again. You can use:

docker-compose run --rm -e DB_NAME=testdb odoo testdb-update -u my_addon

When you are done, you can drop the database with:

docker-compose run --rm odoo dropdb testdb

Pytest uses a plugin (https://github.com/camptocamp/pytest-odoo) that corrects the Odoo namespaces (openerp.addons/odoo.addons) when running the tests.

runmigration

Inside the container, a script runmigration is used to run the migration steps on Travis.

Then when launched, it will search for database dump of the content of odoo/VERSION file. Or if you provided MIG_LOAD_VERSION_CEIL which will allow you to search for an other version. If no dump is available (or LOAD_DB_CACHE is set to false), migration will start from scratch.

The migration steps are then run.

If migration succeed a dump is created if CREATE_DB_CACHE is set to true.

docker-compose run --rm [-e CREATE_DB_CACHE=true] [-e LOAD_DB_CACHE=false] [-e MIG_LOAD_VERSION_CEIL=x.y.z] odoo runmigration

This tools really speed up the process of testing migration steps as you can be executing only a single step instead of redoing all.

cached dumps (runtests / runmigration)

To use database dumps you will need a volume on /.cachedb to have persistant dumps.

On travis you will also want to activate the cache, if your volume definition is - "$HOME/.cachedb:/.cachedb" add this in .travis.yml:

cache:
  directories:
    - $HOME/.cachedb

Start entrypoint

Any script in any language placed in /start-entrypoint.d will be executed just between the migration and the start of Odoo. Similarly, scripts placed in /before-migrate-entrypoint.d will be executed just before the migration.

The order of execution of the files is determined by the run-parts 's rules. You can add your own scripts in those directories. They must be named something like 010_abc (^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$) and must have no extension (or it would not be picked up by run-parts).

Important: The database is guaranteed to exist when the scripts are run, so you must take that in account when writing them. Usually you'll want to use such check:

  if [ "$( psql -tAc "SELECT 1 FROM pg_database WHERE datname='$DB_NAME'" )" != '1' ]
  then
      echo "Database does not exist, ignoring script"
      exit 0
  fi

The scripts are run only if the command is odoo/odoo.py.
