Hello Community,

I've installed the Community Edition v18 on a VPS via the nightly repo as described here:
https://www.odoo.com/documentation/18.0/administration/on_premise/packages.html#repository

Then I started to go through https://www.odoo.com/documentation/18.0/administration/on_premise/deploy.html

On this page the configuration file is mentioned and hyperlinked: https://www.odoo.com/documentation/18.0/developer/reference/cli.html#reference-cmdline-config-file 

According to this dev reference page the config file is $HOME/.odoorc

But instead (I'm quite certain) the file is /etc/odoo/odoo.conf

(1) Is /etc/odoo/odoo.conf the configuration file I need to edit?

(2) If yes, is the difference between reality and the documentation because the .../developer/reference/... pages apply to Source Install and I made a Package Install?


The default content of /etc/odoo/odoo.conf is this:

[options]
db_host = False
db_port = False
db_user = odoo
db_password = False
default_productivity_apps = True
admin_passwd = <hash>

But on the https://www.odoo.com/documentation/18.0/administration/on_premise/deploy.html page the examples are different than what we have after installation:

db_host = False  // instead of IP address or URL
db_port = False  // instead of 5432
db_password = False  // instead of something

(3) Are these normal? Should I leave them like they are?

I've put workers = 6 at the end.

After installation and browsing http://domain.name:8069 I've created the admin email/password, a master password, given the database name and logged in. Looks good.


I had trouble finding out where to direct my web browser. Only in the nginx proxy setup example did I notice the port 8069.

(4) Where do new admins come accross the port information normally? Is there a documentation page I've skipped?

Try to change port as 8070

Why would I change the port? After installation and browsing http://<ip>:8069 I've created the admin email/password, a master password, given the database name and logged in no problem.
