Upon first run we need to configure the app - and this is done manually.
It takes us to `https://example.com:8069/web/database/manager` and asks for this:
- Database Name
- Email
- Password
- Phone number
- Language
- Country
- Demo data
I noticed that in `odoo.conf` we can set some variables:
- `admin_passwd` -> corresponds to "Password"
- `db_name` -> corresponds to "Database Name"
But what about the other fields? And what about configuring SMTP, etc.?
We need to automate this - so how can we pre-configure everything before first run.?
Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
- CRM
- e-Commerce
- Accounting
- Inventory
- PoS
- Project
- MRP

Hi, John
You can do this by using the command line with this command.
Command:
curl 'your-url/web/database/create' --data 'master_pwd=your-master-pwd&name=your-database-name&login=your-login&password=your-password&phone=your-phone&lang=your-lang-code&country_code=your-country-code&demo=0or1' --compressed
Example:
curl 'odoo.com/web/database/create' --data 'master_pwd=123456&name=new_database&login=admin&password=admin&phone=457858&lang=en_US&country_code=us&demo=1' --compressed
By this command a database will be created named 'new_database' with user 'admin', password 'admin', language 'English US', country 'US' and demo data.
If you want to do this by using code then you need to override the config file. By this, you can set the required fields in the config file and automate this process.

Yes I realize that - which is why I asked if there is another way. Maybe there is another config file somewhere, or I can update a table, something like that.
Hello
I think you can create standard database and install the modules and do the configuration then restore or duplicated it instead of create database from scratch.
True... if there is no automated way to spin up a new ready instance, then creating a "baseline" image may be the only way.
Hello
I automated odoo database creation.
My solution is in my github: GitRahim/odoo-auto-create-database
Thanks for the replies so far.
To someone from the odoo team: is there a way to automate first run?
If the settings are not stored in plain text files, can we set some database fields to be able to spin up a ready instance?
When odoo is part of a ansible/docker environment, automation is important. There is surely a way.

Very good idea... Thank you!
If you add that as a separate answer then I can mark as resolved :)
