Hosting Odoo on a Linux Server
Odoo is typically hosted in the cloud on a Linux server. Several providers offer a wide range of pricing options. The choice of the server depends on your specific needs and the number of users who will be working on Odoo simultaneously.
Odoo can also be hosted by Odoo itself on Odoo Sh (for Odoo Sh backup are comprised).
Or, you can host Odoo on your own server or even on a Raspberry Pi.
It's essential to have at least one backup server for daily database backups. In case something goes wrong, you would lose at most one day of data.
My role is to guide you in choosing the best IT infrastructure for your enterprise.
Installing Odoo
Once the server is set up, Odoo and all its dependencies need to be installed.
Odoo comes in two versions:
Odoo releases a new version every year. Currently, the latest version is V17.
Customization on demand
Odoo is designed to allow customization. You can create your own apps to add new features.
The goal of Odoo is to meet a wide range of requirements. Because of this, customization may be necessary for specific sectors.
In such cases, we can develop custom features to fine-tune Odoo to fit your enterprise and processes. Custom development incurs costs and requires maintenance to stay up-to-date with new Odoo versions.
Upgrading Odoo
Upgrading the database
Odoo provides a script for any customer with enterprise licenses, making database migration free.
Upgrading the code
If you don't have any customizations, upgrading the Odoo code from one version to another is relatively smooth. However, it does require some technical knowledge.
If you do have customizations, the code needs to be migrated to be compatible with the new version. The cost of this migration depends on the complexity of your custom code, and an audit is necessary to estimate this cost accurately.
Testing
When upgrading your Odoo system to a newer version, thorough testing is mandatory. Do not underestimate the time required for this process.

The Odoo App store
The Odoo App Store allows users to share development costs. If you need specific development for your system, please contact me.
If your needs are shared by other enterprises, I can develop a new app that fulfills your requirements at an affordable price by listing it on the Odoo App Store.
