This is a guide on setting up Odoo 14 on FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE.

Prepare the Environment¶

• Make sure the system is up to date:
  

  pkg update && pkg upgrade
  

• Add the Odoo user
  

  pw add user -n odoo -m -s /bin/sh -c "Odoo" 
  

• Install the dependencies using pkgng:
  

  pkg install py37-pip py37-Jinja2 py37-libxml2 py37-xlwt py37-pytz py37-psycopg2 py37-pydot py37-lxml py37-yaml py37-mako py37-dateutil py37-reportlab py37-werkzeug py37-vobject py37-vatnumber py37-unittest2 py37-simplejson py37-requests py37-qrcode py37-pyusb py37-python-openid py37-ldap py37-pdf py37-pyparsing py37-psycogreen py37-psycopg2 py37-psutil py37-pillow py37-passlib py37-mock py37-gevent py37-feedparser py37-decorator py37-docutils git wkhtmltopdf node npm openldap-sasl-client
  

Install PostgreSQL 9.6¶

• Install PostgreSQL:
  

  pkg install postgresql96-{server,client}
  

• Enable PostgreSQL at boot:
  

  sysrc 'postgresql_enable=YES'
  

• Initialize the database:
  

  service postgresql initdb
  

• Start PostgreSQL:
  

  service postgresql start
  

• Edit the postgres config file:
  

  vi /var/db/postgres/data96/postgresql.conf
  

  • And modify the following:
    

    listen_addresses = '*'
    

• Edit the pg_hba config file:
  

  vi /usr/local/etc/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
  

  • And modify the following:
    

    # IPv4 connections:
    host    all         all         192.168.10.0/24       md5
    

• Restart postgresql:
  

  service postgresql restart
  

Create a new user and database¶

• Switch to the pgsql user and enter into the psql prompt:
  

  su postgres
  psql -d template1
  

  • Create the odoouser user and odoodb database:
    

    CREATE USER odoouser WITH PASSWORD 'SuperSecretPassword' CREATEDB;
    
    CREATE DATABASE odoodb OWNER odoouser ENCODING 'UTF8';
    
    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE "odoodb" to odoouser;
    

• Exit from the postgres user
  

  \q
  exit
  

• Test the connection on a remote host:
  

  psql -h pg.example.com -U odoouser -W odoodb
  

Install Odoo 14¶

• Switch to the Odoo user folder:
  

  cd /usr/local/www
  

• Clone the latest Odoo 14 code from GitHub:
  

  git clone https://github.com/odoo/odoo --depth 1 --branch 14.0 --single-branch
  chown -R odoo:odoo odoo
  

• Install any missing dependencies:
  

  su - odoo
  cd /usr/local/www/odoo
  env CPPFLAGS="-I /usr/local/include -I /usr/local/include/sasl" pip install -r requirements.txt
  exit
  

• Create a folder for custom addons:
  

  mkdir -p /usr/local/www/odoo/custom/addons
  chown -R odoo:odoo /usr/local/www/odoo/custom
  

• Create the odoo log folder:
  

  touch /var/log/odoo.log
  chmod 644 /var/log/odoo.log
  chown -R odoo:wheel /var/log/odoo.log
  

• Create the odoo pid folder:
  

  mkdir /var/run/odoo 
  chown odoo /var/run/odoo
  

• Create the Odoo config:
  

  vi /usr/local/etc/odoo.conf
  

  • And Modify the following parameters:
    

    [options]
    ; This is the password that allows database operations:
    ; admin_passwd = admin
    db_host = localhost
    db_port = 5432
    database = odoodb
    db_user = odoouser
    db_password = SuperSecretPassword
    addons_path = /usr/local/www/odoo/addons,/usr/local/www/odoo/custom/addons
    logfile = /var/log/odoo.log
    log_level = error 
    

• Make the odoo config owner the odoo user:
  

  chown odoo /usr/local/etc/odoo.conf
  

NOTE: I had to change the /usr/bin/env python3 to /usr/bin/env python3.7 in odoo-bin for it to work correctly.

• Initialize the database:
  

  su - odoo
  cd /usr/local/www/odoo
  ./odoo-bin -i base -d odoodb --stop-after-init --db_host=localhost -r odoouser -w SuperSecretPassword
  

• Now test run the Odoo server:
  

  ./odoo-bin --config=/usr/local/etc/odoo.conf
  

• Open a web browser and go to http://odoo.example.com:8069 and go to manage databases.
• Set a new master password, the default master password is admin
• Go back to http://odoo.example.com:8069 and log in, the default username is admin and password is admin

Odoo Init Script¶

• Create a new rc script for odoo:
  

  vi /usr/local/etc/rc.d/odoo
  

  • And add the following:
    

    #!/bin/sh
    #
    # PROVIDE: odoo
    # REQUIRE: postgresql LOGIN
    #
    # Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf to enable odoo server
    #
    #
    # odoo_enable (bool): Set to "NO" by default,
    #                         Set it to "YES" to enable odoo server
    #
    # odoo_config (str):  The path to the odoo server configuration file
    #                         (defaults to /usr/local/etc/odoo.conf)
    
    . /etc/rc.subr
    
    name=odoo
    command=/usr/local/www/odoo/openerp-server
    rcvar=odoo_enable
    
    load_rc_config $name
    
    odoo_enable="${odoo_enable-"NO"}" 
    odoo_config="${odoo_config-"/usr/local/etc/odoo.conf"}" 
    odoo_user="${odoo_user-"odoo"}" 
    odoo_pidfile="${odoo_pidfile:-"/var/run/odoo/odoo.pid"}" 
    odoo_flags="${odoo:-"--config=${odoo_config} --pidfile=${odoo_pidfile} "}" 
    
    # /etc/rc.subr use $pidfile (not ${name}_pidfile)
    pidfile="${odoo_pidfile}" 
    
    required_files="${odoo_config}" 
    
    start_cmd="su - ${odoo_user} -c '${command} ${odoo_flags}' &" 
    stop_cmd="${name}_stop" 
    status_cmd="${name}_status" 
    getval_cmd="${name}_getval" 
    
    odoo_stop()
    {
        odoo_pid=$(pgrep -f "openerp-server")
    
        echo "Stopping ${name}." 
        kill -s TERM "$(cat "${odoo_pidfile}")" 
    
        echo "Stopping ${name}." 
        kill -s TERM "${openerpd_pid}" 
    }
    
    odoo_status()
    {
        # Try its best to find the service's status
        if [ -f "${odoo_pidfile}" ]
        then
            odoo_pid="$(cat "${odoo_pidfile}")" 
        fi
    
        if [ -z "${odoo_pid}" ]
        then
        odoo_pid=$(pgrep -f "openerp-server")
        [ -n "${odoo_pid}" ] && echo "${odoo_pid}" > "${odoo_pidfile}" 
        fi
    
        if [ -n "${odoo_pid}" ]
        then
            echo "${name} running with pid: $odoo_pid" 
        else
            echo "${name} not running? (pid not found)" 
        fi
    }
    
    command_args=" >/dev/null 2>&1 &" 
    
    load_rc_config $name
    run_rc_command "$1" 
    

• Make the script executable:
  

  chmod +x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/odoo
  

• Start and enable odoo at boot:
  

  echo 'odoo_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
  service odoo start
