Project Description

A specialized ERP consultancy assisting businesses with Odoo deployments needed a terminal-based guide for quicker and error-free Odoo server setup. Their focus was on reducing onboarding time for developers. They required a user-friendly, interactive tool that could automate steps and ensure environment consistency. The SetUp Guide Gienie was developed as a smart terminal assistant tailored to their internal workflow.

Scope Of Work

The project aimed to reduce manual errors and time delays during Odoo server setup across teams. With the help of Oodles, the client needed an interactive CLI tool to guide users through pre-checks, installations, and configurations. Key work areas included server automation, Odoo environment setup, and user-interaction flows. The solution had to ensure repeatability, scalability, and ease of use for technical teams.

Our Solution

The solution was a terminal-based assistant—SetUp Guide Gienie—built to automate and simplify Odoo server installations via CLI. It offers a guided setup experience, significantly improving the onboarding time and reducing the need for deep Linux expertise.

Key Features Implemented:

  • Pre-check Automation: Automatically verifies dependencies, OS version, ports, and user privileges.
  • Interactive Setup Prompts: Guides users through Python environment creation, PostgreSQL configuration, and system updates.
  • Odoo Installation Flow: Handles cloning, branch selection, and log management for different Odoo versions.
  • Dynamic Configuration Generation: Automates the creation of config files based on user responses, supporting multiple environments.
  • Reusable Command Templates: Offers modular commands for future use in staging or production setups.
