Hi,

If you cannot find the odoo.conf file on your server, which means you use a Docker setup. you can try the following way to add custom addons.

create a folder for the custom_addons and mount the folder as a volume in the odoo container by adding the following line ​to docker-compose.yml file under volumes section:

volumes:
- ./config:/etc/odoo
- ./extra-addons:/mnt/extra-addons   

Then create the odoo container (or update it). In your computer go to "extra-addons" folder inside your docker folder and put there the custom odoo modules. 

​Restart the container -> docker start db_name

​Now in the Apps -> click update apps list and now you can see the custom apps

You can check this blog and forum for further help regarding odoo docker setup

Thanks

hello 

In your config you should make sure that you have a "odoo.conf" file into you "config" folder and that odoo.conf could have this configuration

[options]
addons_path = /mnt/extra-addons
data_dir = /var/lib/odoo

Hi,

Did you add the addons path in the odoo.conf file? If the odoo.conf is not properly configured, it won't detect the modules located in your extra-addons path.

Open the odoo.conf file located in your ./config volume (i.e., /etc/odoo in your container). If the odoo.conf does not exist, create it. Make sure you add the following line to the odoo.conf file under [options]:

[options]
addons_path = /mnt/extra-addons

Restart the container and update the app list. Now the modules in the extra-addons folder should appear in the app list. For more information about setting up Odoo with Docker check out my blog post. I hope this helps.

I have tried to follow your steps but it is not working yet. I also looked at the youtube video, blog and forum but I dont get it.  My Docker compose now looks like this:

version: '3'
services:
odoo:
image: odoo:16.0
env_file: .env
depends_on:
- postgres
ports:
- "127.0.0.1:8069:8069"
volumes:
- data:/var/lib/odoo
- ./config:/etc/odoo
- ./extra-addons:/mnt/extra-addons
postgres:
image: postgres:13
env_file: .env
volumes:
- db:/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata

volumes:
data:
db

I restarted the container and updated the app list.
