Odoo, previously OpenERP, is a collection of open-source business applications built in Python and distributed under the LGPL license. This set of apps smoothly integrates all business needs, from website/ecommerce to production, inventory, and accounting. It’s the first time a software editor has achieved such a high level of functional coverage. Odoo is the most widely used business software worldwide. Odoo is utilized by 2 million people globally, ranging from tiny businesses, one user (1) to major corporations of three hundred thousand users (300,000).
In our today’s guide, we demonstrate how to run Odoo 15 in Docker Containers.

How To Run Odoo 15 in Docker Containers
The following steps will guide us on how to run Odoo 15 in Docker Containers.
Step 1: Install Docker CE on your System
Use the guides below to install Docker CE in your machine.
Access the articles on shared link above to install Docker CE. For this demo, we are using Ubuntu 20.04. Let’s install Docker CE in this System. Run the following command to install Docker CE:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu focal stable"
sudo apt install docker-ceStart and enable docker service:
sudo systemctl enable --now dockerAdd your user to the docker group in order to execute docker commands without sudo:
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp dockerStep 2: Install Odoo 15 Docker Image
Now we only need to run one command once Docker is installed on your machine to install Odoo 15 Container.
$ docker pull odoo:15

Status: Downloaded newer image for odoo:15
docker.io/library/odoo:15Step 3: Install PostgreSQL Database Docker Image
We must build up a database for Odoo to preserve its data on Docker after installing Odoo 15. PostgreSQL 13 will be set up by running the following command:
$ docker pull postgres:13
13: Pulling from library/postgres
e5ae68f74026: Already exists

Status: Downloaded newer image for postgres:13
docker.io/library/postgres:13Now, Create Database Container for Odoo 15 as shown below:
docker run -d -e POSTGRES_USER=odoouser -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=odoopass -e POSTGRES_DB=postgres --name db postgres:13We can make a special folder to hold the database data. This means that even if the container is removed, our Odoo data will be preserved for future use.
docker run -d -v odoo-db:/var/lib/postgresql/data -e POSTGRES_USER=odoouser -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=odoopass -e POSTGRES_DB=postgres --name db postgres:13Now check if the PostgreSQL database is running:
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
ecad6f65661f postgres:13 "docker-entrypoint.s…" 9 seconds ago Up 8 seconds 5432/tcp dbStep 4: Start and Run Odoo 15 Container
We’ll create and run a container for Odoo 15 using the supplied image.
docker run -p 8069:8069 --name odoo --link db:db -t odoo:15Preserving Odoo data using named Volumes
The Odoo filestore is generated inside the container when the Odoo container is formed as stated before. The filestore is lost if the container is removed. Using a Docker named volume is the best approach to avoid this.
docker run -v odoo-data:/var/lib/odoo -d -p 8069:8069 --name odoo --link db:db -t odoo:15The volume named odoo-data created with the preceding command will persist even if the container is deleted and can be re-used with same command.
Check the status of Odoo 15:
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
8cf02c452bc9 odoo:15 "/entrypoint.sh odoo" 6 seconds ago Up 5 seconds 0.0.0.0:8069->8069/tcp, 8071-8072/tcp odoo
ecad6f65661f postgres:13 "docker-entrypoint.s…" 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes 5432/tcp dbStep 5: Access Odoo 15 Web Interface
Open your browser and go to the server’s IP address as well as port 8069 as shown below.
Example: http://192.168.33.10:8069
For successful Access of Odoo 15 Web interface, You will get the following page. Create a database by entering the relevant information.
After successful login, you will get the following Odoo 15 Application.
You can install any Application you want to use by clicking install
This concludes this complete explanation on how to run Odoo 15 in Docker Containers. We’ve shown how simple it is to use Docker to run Odoo 15. I hope you found it simpler to perform Odoo 15 run in Docker Containers.
