Area Of Work: Odoo Implementation
Project Description

Shipify, a dynamic logistics and shipping management company, is known for delivering fast and reliable services to global businesses. To streamline their backend operations, they approached Oodles Platform seeking a detailed, secure, and scalable setup guide for deploying Odoo Community v17. The project focused on ensuring smooth server setup, database configuration, and development environment readiness through a terminal-based process.

Scope Of Work

The client focused on establishing a secure, efficient server setup for Odoo v17 deployment. The areas of work included server login and updates, SSH security enhancement, installation of packages and libraries, PostgreSQL database setup, system user creation, source code management, Python package installation, configuration file creation, database initialization, and IDE setup support.

Our Solution

To meet Shipify’s operational requirements, Oodles Platform designed a comprehensive Step-by-Step Setup Guide to establish a strong Odoo deployment environment. 

The key implementations included:

  • Server Security and Updates: Logged into the server via SSH, performed system updates, and secured access points using Fail2ban to protect against potential SSH attacks.
  • Package and Library Installation: Installed all essential Python and Node.js packages, enabling a robust backend and frontend ecosystem for Odoo operations.
  • Database Server Configuration: Set up PostgreSQL as the database server, created a dedicated database user with superuser rights, and ensured secure data handling practices.
  • System User and Code Management: Created a restricted system user for Odoo services and cloned the Odoo Community v17 source code into the designated server directory from GitHub.
