Install Odoo as a Container for Testing - mechwarrior82/eve-online-odoo-integration GitHub Wiki

Sure! Here are detailed instructions for setting up Odoo on Windows using Docker:

Step 1: Install Docker Desktop

Download Docker Desktop: Go to the Docker website and download Docker Desktop for Windows.
Install Docker Desktop: Follow the installation instructions provided by Docker. This will include installing Docker Engine, Docker CLI, and Docker Compose.

Step 2: Pull the Odoo Docker Image

Open Command Prompt: Press Win + R, type cmd, and press Enter.
Pull the Odoo Image: Run the following command to pull the latest Odoo image from Docker Hub:
```
docker pull odoo:latest
```

Step 3: Create a Docker Compose File

Create a Directory: Create a directory for your Odoo project, for example, C:\odoo\odoo_project.

Create a docker-compose.yml File: Inside this directory, create a file named docker-compose.yml and add the following content:

version: '3'
services:
  db:
    image: postgres:15
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_USER=odoo
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=odoo
      - POSTGRES_DB=postgres
    volumes:
      - odoo-db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
  odoo:
    image: odoo:latest
    depends_on:
      - db
    ports:
      - "8069:8069"
    volumes:
      - odoo-data:/var/lib/odoo
    environment:
      - HOST=db
      - USER=odoo
      - PASSWORD=odoo
      - DB_NAME=postgres
volumes:
  odoo-db:
  odoo-data:

Create Volumes: Ensure the volumes odoo-db and odoo-data are created. You can do this by running:
```
docker volume create odoo-db
docker volume create odoo-data
```

Step 4: Start the Docker Containers

Navigate to the Project Directory: Open Command Prompt and navigate to your project directory:
```
cd C:\odoo\odoo_project
```
Start the Containers: Run the following command to start the Odoo and PostgreSQL containers:
```
docker-compose up -d
```
Verify the Containers: Check the status of the containers to ensure they are running:
```
docker ps
```

Step 5: Access Odoo

Open Browser: Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8069.
Set Up Odoo: Follow the on-screen instructions to set up Odoo, including creating a new database, setting up the company, and logging in.

Step 6: Install Custom Addons

Navigate to Apps: In the Odoo interface, go to the Apps menu.
Update Apps List: Click on the "Update Apps List" button to refresh the list of available modules.
Install Addons: Search for and install your custom Odoo module (odoo_eve_integration).
