How to create odoo as a service

For the odoo installation steps please follow steps in my previous post.

Assume i have saved my code in following path
/home/pranav/my_code/odoo

1)Create “odoo-server.conf” file and copy and paste below content.

[options] ; This is the password that allows database operations: admin_passwd = password db_host = localhost db_port = 5432 db_user = pranav db_password = postgres db_name = <db_name> dbfilter = <db_name> addons_path = /home/pranav/my_code/odoo/odoo/addons,/home/pranav/my_code/odoo/addons,/home/pranav/my_code/custom_module logfile = /var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log xmlrpc = True xmlrpc_port=8088

2)Paste the file in "/etc" folder and change its permission and access mode


chown <user_name>: -R /home/pranav/my_code/odoo
chown <user_name>: /etc/odoo-server.conf
chmod 640 /etc/odoo-server.conf

3)Create file "odoo-server" inside "/etc/init.d" folder with below content

#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: odoo-server
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog
# Should-Start: $network
# Should-Stop: $network
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Business Applications
# Description: ODOO Business Applications.
### END INIT INFO
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin
DAEMON=/home/pranav/my_code/odoo/odoo-bin (It may change according to your downloaded bundle)
NAME=odoo-server
DESC=odoo-server


# Specify the user name (Default: openerp).
USER=<user_name>


# Specify an alternate config file (Default: /etc/odoo-server.conf).
CONFIGFILE="/etc/odoo-server.conf"


# pidfile
PIDFILE=/var/run/$NAME.pid


# Additional options that are passed to the Daemon.
DAEMON_OPTS="-c $CONFIGFILE"
[ -x $DAEMON ] || exit 0
[ -f $CONFIGFILE ] || exit 0
checkpid() {
[ -f $PIDFILE ] || return 1
pid=`cat $PIDFILE`
[ -d /proc/$pid ] && return 0
return 1
}


case "${1}" in
start)
echo -n "Starting ${DESC}: "
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile ${PIDFILE} \
--chuid ${USER} --background --make-pidfile \
--exec ${DAEMON} -- ${DAEMON_OPTS}
echo "${NAME}."
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping ${DESC}: "
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile ${PIDFILE} \
--oknodo
echo "${NAME}."
;;


restart|force-reload)
echo -n "Restarting ${DESC}: "
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile ${PIDFILE} \
--oknodo
sleep 1
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile ${PIDFILE} \
--chuid ${USER} --background --make-pidfile \
--exec ${DAEMON} -- ${DAEMON_OPTS}
echo "${NAME}."
;;
*)
N=/etc/init.d/${NAME}
echo "Usage: ${NAME} {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
exit 1
;;


esac
exit 0


4)Change above file permission and access mode

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/odoo-server
chown <user_name>: /etc/init.d/odoo-server


5)Create log file inside "/var/log/odoo" folder

chowm <user_name>:/var/log/odoo
touch /var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log
chmod 777 /var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log

6)Start the service

/etc/init.d/odoo-service start

To view log data
tail -f /var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log

7)Add as service

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable odoo-server.service
sudo systemctl start odoo-server.service
