cannot manage self installed odoo about odoo-helper-scripts HOT 1 OPEN

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this issue.

This project is not designed to manage self-installed odoo installations, because there are a lot of way to install Odoo:

• install Odoo as deb package
• install from sources
• install from source into custom virtualenv
• etc

Also, the custom Odoo may be installed in some specific folder from normal user, or there could be a set of odoo installation on same machine, or there could be system-wide installation with dedicated user with restricted access rights, etc

Additionally, there could be different ways to start Odoo:

• run as normal python script manually
• automatically run Odoo via init script (or via systemd) as daemon

Thus, there is no way to easily handle all these installation cases.

If you still want to manage custom-installed Odoo via odoo-helper-scripts, it is possible, but it will require to manually create odoo-helper config file for such project, and place it in project folder (if you have multiple projects on same machine) or add all configuration params to /etc/odoo-helper.conf file.

odoo-helper expects that Odoo is running inside virtualenv. If odoo is installed system-wide without virtualenv, odoo-helper may work too, but this case is not tested.

• code responsible for config handling
• some documentation on config
• crnd-deploy - script that install production-ready Odoo managed by odoo-helper
