An Odoo Ansible Provisioning Role

This an Ansible role for provisioning Odoo. It supports:

• Odoo 12
• Odoo 11
• Odoo 10

I has not been tested yet with Odoo 13.

Requirements

A PostgreSQL(9.5+).

By now this role only supports peer authentication for PostgreSQL database access.

So you need to create a database in PostgreSQL, one user with access to that database, and one system user with same username.

For instance, you can create an odoo user in PostgreSQL with access to the created database, and an user named odoo in your system.

Coma separated list of ISO language codes with optional country code (source). There are translations for many languages.

odoo_role_loaded_languages: ca_ES,es_ES # Also available: eu_ES,gl_ES,pt_PT

Community Roles

Deploy

To use community roles, you need to deploy this modules in the server. This role manage the modules deployment with pip.

You can define a requirements.txt file to manage the modules and ensure the version installed:

# requirements.txt
odoo11-addon-contract==11.0.2.1.0
odoo11-addon-contract-sale-invoicing==11.0.1.0.0
odoo11-addon-contract-variable-qty-timesheet==11.0.1.0.0
odoo11-addon-contract-variable-quantity==11.0.1.2.1

The default the requirements.txt file path is "{{ inventory_dir }}/../files/requirements.txt".

Install

Once the modules are in the server, you need to install them in the database.

Define a odoo_role_odoo_community_modules var with the list of the modules names you want to install.

# invenotry/group_vars/all.yml
odoo_role_odoo_community_modules: 'contract,contract_sale_invoicing'
