In this chapter, you will learn how to prepare your Odoo server for use in a production environment.

There are many possible strategies and tools that can be used to deploy and manage an Odoo production server. We will guide you through one way of doing it.

This is the server set up checklist that we will follow:

  • Install dependencies and a dedicated user to run the server
  • Install Odoo from the source
  • Set up the Odoo configuration file
  • Set up multiprocessing workers
  • Set up the Odoo system service
  • Set up a reverse proxy with SSL support

Let's get started.
