Install in production

Install in production

These steps deploy ForgeFlow Cloud ERP Standard on a server, behind a Traefik reverse proxy with HTTPS.

1. Download

Clone the repository on the server as described in Download.

2. Start the reverse proxy

Review the Traefik settings in config/traefik/, then start the proxy (once per server):

docker compose -f inverseproxy.yaml up -d

3. Set your domain

copier update --trust

When asked for the production domains, enter your domain (for example erp.example.com). This regenerates prod.yaml with the routing for your domain.

4. Set the secrets

Create the folder .docker/ with three files:

# .docker/odoo.env
ADMIN_PASSWORD=choose-a-strong-master-password

# .docker/db-access.env
PGPASSWORD=choose-a-strong-db-password

# .docker/db-creation.env
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=the-same-db-password

The .docker/ folder is ignored by Git. Keep these files private.

5. Build and start

docker compose -f prod.yaml up -d --build

The image is built on your server, downloading Odoo Community and the OCA modules during the build.

6. Install the Standard modules

docker compose -f prod.yaml run --rm odoo addons init

Then open https://your-domain and log in.

Backups

The project includes a backup service (duplicity.yaml) and the scripts scripts/backup.sh and scripts/restore.sh. Set up regular backups before you go live.
