Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
Can someone please tell me the very right way to calculate these values for odoo self-hosted server setup with multiprocessing ->
Number of worker
limit_memory_hard
limit_memory_soft
max_cron_threads
Here is my server specifications ->
RAM -> 16 GB
CPU -> 8 core
LAST UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2024
if you ever bought groceries from a large supermarket with multiple checkout cashiers using registers then you have been in a situation supported by workers.
Each checkout is staffed by a worker and each worker has a line of Customers to help.
How many cashiers needed depends on
It could be that a worker could manage:
For planning purposes, you should start with 1 worker per:
The resources Odoo uses can vary a great deal depending on:
Given this, you only really know how many workers you need when you are live, so should be monitoring your performance prior to go live, during testing, and after go live in case you need to rollback to a point where performance was not an issue.
In addition to using logging (and looking at log files) we provide RESOURCE MONITORING features with Odoo.sh:
With this in mind:
1 worker is about 6 concurrent users.
ie: ALL clicking a button at the "exact same time".
Up to 99% of the time users read, type or scroll and that does not count as 'using' Odoo since no server resources are consumed. Only when a User or Visitor clicks a button, runs a report, imports data, etc. are server resources consumed.
Considerations:
The great thing about Odoo.sh is that extra workers are not hard to add.
This same strategy applies for ON PREMISE installations of Odoo.
RAM -> 16 GB
CPU -> 8 core
(CPU cores * 2 + 1) = 17
limit-memory-soft = 640MB*17 = 10880 MB = 10880 * 1024*1024
limit-memory-hard 768MB*17 = 13056 MB = 13056*1024*1024
workers = 17 limit_memory_hard = 13690208256 limit_memory_soft = 11408506880 limit_request = 8192 limit_time_cpu = 60 limit_time_real = 120 max_cron_threads = 2
Hi,
sorry but as Ryan Tran said, this calculation is not correct regarding to Odoo V14-15.
1.)
With an 8 Core CPU you can theoretically use max. 17 worker (if you have enough memory installed). But you need also CPU power for other processes like OS and Postgres. And by the way the parameter "max_cron_threads" is using/starting 2 worker processes, too. You can see this in the Odoo log after the odoo service starts. So you can add in the "workers" parameter only 15 from your theoretical max. available 17 workers (or less - depends on the max. available memory and installed programs). I'm not sure but I believe that the longpolling process needs also 1 worker (Odoo Documentation: "In multiprocessing, a dedicated LiveChat worker is automatically started and listening on the longpolling port but the client will not connect to it.").
2.)
The values 640MB and 768MB for the memory limits are default values from Odoo V10 and not state of the art in the year 2021. The default values from Odoo V14-15 are 2048 MB and 2560 MB per Worker.
3.)
According to the Odoo documentation are the memory limit values specified per worker and are no total values as you have added. An better formula will be -> Available Memory for Odoo = (Max. Memory in byte - needed Memory for OS and other Apps like Postgres) / max. workers
Original text from the Odoo V15 manual (odoo-bin --help):
--limit-memory-soft=LIMIT_MEMORY_SOFT
Maximum allowed virtual memory per worker (in bytes), when reached the worker be reset after the current request (default 2048MiB).
--limit-memory-hard=LIMIT_MEMORY_HARD
Maximum allowed virtual memory per worker (in bytes), when reached, any memory allocation will fail (default 2560MiB).
4.)
In your calculation is specified round about 13,7 GB RAM per worker for the hard memory limit. You configured 19 workes, so you need theoretically 260 GB Memory when all workers produce an heavy load. But with this settings already if 1-2 workers produce an high load you will receive an out of momory error in your operation system and your linux will freeze (e.g. when a user create an pdf report with 200-500 pages).
Hi Nicky,
Is the calculation of memory indeed per worker or is it as per documentation of Odoo itself, per server:
https://www.odoo.com/documentation/16.0/administration/install/deploy.html#id5
Configuration sample
Server with 4 CPU, 8 Thread
60 concurrent users
60 users / 6 = 10 <- theoretical number of worker needed
(4 * 2) + 1 = 9 <- theoretical maximal number of worker
We’ll use 8 workers + 1 for cron. We’ll also use a monitoring system to measure cpu load, and check if it’s between 7 and 7.5 .
RAM = 9 * ((0.8*150) + (0.2*1024)) ~= 3Go RAM for Odoo
in /etc/odoo.conf:
[options]
limit_memory_hard = 1677721600
limit_memory_soft = 629145600
limit_request = 8192
limit_time_cpu = 600
limit_time_real = 1200
max_cron_threads = 1
workers = 8
After digging into this some more it looks like Nicky's explanation is correct. The source code for the file config.py (line 325 and on) confirms that settings like limit_memory_hard are PER worker.
https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/fa58938b3e2477f0db22cc31d4f5e6b5024f478b/odoo/tools/config.py
Further, it seems that the calculations given assume that Odoo is the only service running on the system. This may or may not be the case of course and in that case, available resources should be reduced accordingly.
odoo worker and memory calculations based on various theories and practicals (Use at your own risk) :
1 worker can handle around 6 concurrent users.
So, for example, if we have 60 concurrent users daily, we should use around 10 workers.
So,
limit-memory-soft = 2000 MB X 10 worker = 20000 MB (This should not exceed more than actual RAM) * 1024 * 1024 = 20971520000
limit-memory-hard = 2500 MB X 10 worker = 25000 MB (This should not exceed more than actual RAM) * 1024 * 1024 = 26214400000
2000 MB and 2500 MB are standard values for odoo V13, odoo V14 and odoo V15.
In case, your calculation exceeds actual RAM on the server, then either increase RAM on the server or lower the number of workers.
Here are the guidelines provided by Odoo:
https://www.odoo.com/documentation/13.0/setup/deploy.html#builtin-server
The answer which is marked as the solution could be considered incorrect. The total worker has included the cron workers, so (workers = 17 - max_cron_threads). On the documentation page, the RAM is computed from the number of workers. The param limit_memory_hard and limit_memory_soft are the limits for EACH WORKER, with limit_memory_hard ~ limit_memory_soft * 2.5 (regarding the documentation).
the calculation is correct.
