I am trying to install custom modules from OCA GitHub to my initial setup which is installed via Docker container.

I am quite lost on how to perform to install the modules in my environment. I have done my initial odoo setup up and running via https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-odoo-on-ubuntu-20-04-with-docker.

The system is up and running without issue but I am not able to install custom modules from third parties like OCA.

My docker-compose.yml file:

version: '3'
services:
  odoo:
    image: odoo:15.0
    env_file: .env
    depends_on:
      - postgres
    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:8069:8069"
    volumes:
      - data:/var/lib/odoo
      - ./addons:/mnt/extra-addons

  postgres:
    image: postgres:13
    env_file: .env
    volumes:
      - db:/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata

volumes:
  data:
  db:

File Directory right now:

./addons  ----> I am placing the module files inside this folder.
./docker-compose.yml

then I run the docker-compose up -d then I go to odoo and update list but cannot see the modules.

Thank you.

You need to add /mnt/extra-addons to the addons_path parameter in Odoo configuration file (odoo.conf).

For example:

addons_path = /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/odoo/addons,/mnt/extra_addons

You have to enable developer mode and then go to Apps and press Update App List to update the list of apps.

  • I have created /config folder under the same folder with docker-compose.yml. Then created the odoo.conf file with `[options]`
    `addons_path = /mnt/extra-addons`
    `data_dir = /var/lib/odoo`
    .... I also added `- ./config:/etc/odoo` to docker-compose.yml but I cannot see the addons that I have put inside addons folder inside the app     – jakarina Jun 18 '22 at 15:55
  • You configuration now looks good, make sure the custom module folder is not nested, also when you open apps click on update app list to update the list of apps. – Waleed Mohsen Jun 18 '22 at 16:21
  • the folder structure is like in the link https://imgur.com/a/lJ9v0WI. and the module under addons folder is like https://imgur.com/a/5aILT3s – jakarina Jun 18 '22 at 17:24
  • looks like at least some of your add-ons are nested. I think you can flatten them. – Paxmees Jun 18 '22 at 18:57
  • @Paxmees thanks for your comment but I dont think that the nested folders are the issue here. please check the folder structure screenshot from my setup. https://imgur.com/a/uZViTu1 – jakarina Jun 18 '22 at 19:52
  • @jakarina Did you update the app lists? – Waleed Mohsen Jun 19 '22 at 11:49
  • @WaleedMohsen yes. I have checked the file system inside the container, and it looks the mnt/extra-addons file is empty. – jakarina Jun 19 '22 at 13:42
  • @WaleedMohsen Somehow `docker-compose` is not working properly and not copying local addon files into addons location of the container. – jakarina Jun 19 '22 at 13:49
  • What about conf file is it showing, I think you have a permission issue with your ```./addons``` folder so docker couldn't read from the folder. – Waleed Mohsen Jun 19 '22 at 14:48
