Hosts are available through sftp (sftp is using ssh). The authentication is the SSH one through a private key on the github side (managed in github secrets) and accessible through secrets.sftp_private_key in the yaml workflow definition.

All content of the workdir is sent to the hosts (ideally mirrored and only difference should be sent), but this is not yet the case for lftp limitation over using sftp and setting dates correctly. rclone should be able to handle this better but is not yet used. A simple git push could be studied also.

To trigger the restart of odoo on the host, we set up a inotify watcher through incron.

To add odoo services to a compose read host, add this section to your compose.yml:

odoo:
  charm: odoo-tecnativa
  docker-compose:
    command:
      - "--dev=xml,qweb,werkzeug"
      - "--log-level=debug"
      - "--limit-time-cpu=500"
      - "--limit-time-real=500"
      - "--limit-memory-soft=25273917440"
      - "--limit-memory-hard=25273917440"
      - "--addons-path=/opt/odoo/auto/lokavaluto,/opt/odoo/auto/addons"
    volumes:
      - /srv/datastore/data/odoo/opt/odoo/auto/lokavaluto:/opt/odoo/auto/lokavaluto:rw
    image: docker.0k.io/mirror/odoo:rc_12.0-MYC-INIT-3.7
  options:
    workers: 4
    modules:
    - lcc_lokavaluto_app_connection
    - lcc_comchain_base
    - lcc_cyclos_base
  relations:
    web-proxy:
      frontend:
        domain: odoo.mydomain.org

Notice:

• the --addons path correlates with the volumes section.
• the modules section list the current modules

To add sftp services to a compose ready host, add this section to your compose.yml:

sftp:
  docker-compose:
    ports:
      - "10322:22"
    volumes:
      - /srv/datastore/data/odoo/opt/odoo/auto/lokavaluto:/home/monujo/lokavaluto-addons:rw
  options:
    users:
      monujo:
        groups:
          - monujo-rw:3000
        password: yLzTieeTwJmMlFZG
        keys:
          - "ssh-rsa AAAAB3N...PUBLICKEYGOESHERE... odoo@example.org"

The volumes section allows to publish and give access to the place where odoo reads the module's code.

The public key is the public key part corresponding to the private key that needs to be sent by the client (in github secrets).

Note that group monujo-rw is important. You should give the right of all files that are to be modified the group 3000 from the host:

chown 1000:3000 /srv/datastore/data/odoo/opt/odoo/auto/lokavaluto -R

Incron is the tool used for the github deployement to signal the end of the upload of the new files. It should trigger a restart of the odoo docker.

Directory that allows triggering the event must be created and permissions should be set so sftp user can write in it:

mkdir -p /srv/datastore/data/sftp/home/monujo/lokavaluto-addons.updated
cd /srv/datastore/data/sftp/home/monujo/lokavaluto-addons.updated
chown 1000:3000 -R .

To install incron:

apt-get install incron
echo "root" > /etc/incron.allow

To edit:

EDITOR=vim incrontab -e

Line to create in current installation

/srv/datastore/data/sftp/home/monujo/lokavaluto-addons.updated  IN_CREATE,IN_MODIFY             docker restart myc_odoo_1

It is expected that the client will delete and add a file in folder: lokavaluto-addons.updated to trigger the reload.
