To manage a multi-tenant Odoo Community setup with white-label support, consider the following architecture:
Separate Databases per Tenant: Each tenant should have its own database for data isolation.
Shared Base Code & Core Modules: Maintain a common codebase for core functionality and base modules, ensuring consistency across tenants.
Custom Modules per Tenant: Use a modular approach, storing custom modules in tenant-specific directories or repositories, and referencing them in the main codebase.
White-label Branding: Store branding configurations (logo, theme, etc.) in the res.company model to allow UI-based customization per tenant, without code changes.
Git Structure:
Monorepo: Store shared core code and tenant-specific modules in a single repository with organized directories.
Example structure:
odoo-setup/
├── core/
├── tenant_1_modules/
└── tenant_2_modules/
CI/CD & Docker Deployment:
CI/CD: Automate deployments using tools like GitLab CI or Jenkins, ensuring proper testing and versioning.
Docker: Use Docker to containerize Odoo with shared base code and tenant-specific modules. Docker Compose or Kubernetes can orchestrate multiple tenant environments.
Scalability & Maintenance:
Database Management: Use Odoo’s --db-filter for tenant-specific databases.
Monitoring: Implement monitoring tools like Prometheus and centralized logging for system health and troubleshooting.
