Automated Odoo Installation Script – Project Overview

One of my recent projects aims at automating the full installation of Odoo — from cloning the repository to launching the application — with zero manual repetitive steps.
The goal: streamline deployment, reduce errors, and standardize the process.

🎯 Context & Purpose

Odoo is a powerful ERP/CRM platform used in many environments.
A “from scratch” setup can be tedious: system dependencies, Python, PostgreSQL, env-vars, configurations.
In a self-hosted or sovereign hosting context, it’s essential that the installation is reproducible, documented and scripted.

This project provides a turnkey installation script, so any Odoo instance can be deployed in a few commands — reliably, reproducibly and version-controlled.

🧩 What the script does

When you run the installation script, it:

clones the Odoo repo + required modules/dependencies
installs system + Python + PostgreSQL dependencies
initializes the database (PostgreSQL, extensions if needed)
configures environment variables, permissions, users
launches the Odoo server ready to use

In other words: everything an admin normally does manually, automated.

✅ Why it matters

Time saving — full setup in minutes rather than multiple steps.
Fewer errors — standardized script avoids misconfiguration or version mismatches.
Reproducible & traceable — everything versioned in Git for full transparency.
Portable & self-hostable — ideal for sovereign / private / internal instances.
Easier maintenance — updates, re-deployments or rollbacks become straightforward.

🔗 Source code

The script is publicly available in the Git repository — clone it, follow the instructions, and the installation runs end-to-end automatically.

📌 What to expect

This is not a Docker-based container deployment — it uses a classic server/VM install, prioritizing control.
The approach favors autonomy and simplicity — well-suited for private or self-hosted scenarios rather than managed cloud services.
The script covers core setup; custom modules, backups, HA or scaling may require additional configuration.

🧑‍💻 Who might use this script

Developers, integrators or teams wanting to self-host Odoo without hassle.
SMEs or organizations refusing managed cloud dependency.
Architects / DevOps enthusiasts seeking traceable, code-first infrastructure.
Anyone looking for a minimal “infra as code” setup for an ERP/CRM.

🔚 Conclusion

This project illustrates my approach:
automating heavy manual processes into repeatable, versioned and transparent scripts.

If you’re interested in testing or contributing — the repo is public.
Clone it. Run it. Improve it.
