Bitnami Secure Image for Odoo

What is Odoo?

Odoo is an open source ERP and CRM platform, formerly known as OpenERP, that can connect a wide variety of business operations such as sales, supply chain, finance, and project management.

Overview of Odoo Trademarks: This software listing is packaged by Bitnami. The respective trademarks mentioned in the offering are owned by the respective companies, and use of them does not imply any affiliation or endorsement.

TL;DR

docker run --name odoo bitnami/odoo:latest

Warning: This quick setup is only intended for development environments. You are encouraged to change the insecure default credentials and check out the available configuration options in the Environment Variables section for a more secure d eployment.

⚠️ Important Notice: Upcoming changes to the Bitnami Catalog

Beginning August 28th, 2025, Bitnami will evolve its public catalog to offer a curated set of hardened, security-focused images under the new Bitnami Secure Images initiative. As part of this transition:

  • Granting community users access for the first time to security-optimized versions of popular container images.
  • Bitnami will begin deprecating support for non-hardened, Debian-based software images in its free tier and will gradually remove non-latest tags from the public catalog. As a result, community users will have access to a reduced number of hardened images. These images are published only under the “latest” tag and are intended for development purposes
  • Starting August 28th, over two weeks, all existing container images, including older or versioned tags (e.g., 2.50.0, 10.6), will be migrated from the public catalog (docker.io/bitnami) to the “Bitnami Legacy” repository (docker.io/bitnamilegacy), where they will no longer receive updates.
  • For production workloads and long-term support, users are encouraged to adopt Bitnami Secure Images, which include hardened containers, smaller attack surfaces, CVE transparency (via VEX/KEV), SBOMs, and enterprise support.

These changes aim to improve the security posture of all Bitnami users by promoting best practices for software supply chain integrity and up-to-date deployments. For more details, visit the Bitnami Secure Images announcement.

Why use Bitnami Secure Images?

  • Bitnami Secure Images and Helm charts are built to make open source more secure and enterprise ready.
  • Triage security vulnerabilities faster, with transparency into CVE risks using industry standard Vulnerability Exploitability Exchange (VEX), KEV, and EPSS scores.
  • Our hardened images use a minimal OS (Photon Linux), which reduces the attack surface while maintaining extensibility through the use of an industry standard package format.
  • Stay more secure and compliant with continuously built images updated within hours of upstream patches.
  • Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
  • Hardened images come with attestation signatures (Notation), SBOMs, virus scan reports and other metadata produced in an SLSA-3 compliant software factory.

Only a subset of BSI applications are available for free. Looking to access the entire catalog of applications as well as enterprise support? Try the commercial edition of Bitnami Secure Images today.

How to deploy Odoo in Kubernetes?

Deploying Bitnami applications as Helm Charts is the easiest way to get started with our applications on Kubernetes. Read more about the installation in the Bitnami Odoo Chart GitHub repository.

Learn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags in our documentation page.

You can see the equivalence between the different tags by taking a look at the tags-info.yaml file present in the branch folder, i.e bitnami/ASSET/BRANCH/DISTRO/tags-info.yaml.

Subscribe to project updates by watching the bitnami/containers GitHub repo.

Get this image

The recommended way to get the Bitnami Odoo Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub Registry.

docker pull bitnami/odoo:latest

To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the list of available versions in the Docker Hub Registry.

docker pull bitnami/odoo:[TAG]

If you wish, you can also build the image yourself by cloning the repository, changing to the directory containing the Dockerfile and executing the docker build command. Remember to replace the APP, VERSION and OPERATING-SYSTEM path placeholders in the example command below with the correct values.

git clone https://github.com/bitnami/containers.git
cd bitnami/APP/VERSION/OPERATING-SYSTEM
docker build -t bitnami/APP:latest .

How to use this image

Odoo requires access to a PostgreSQL database to store information. We'll use the Bitnami Docker Image for PostgreSQL for the database requirements.

Using the Docker Command Line

Step 1: Create a network

docker network create odoo-network

Step 2: Create a volume for PostgreSQL persistence and create a PostgreSQL container

$ docker volume create --name postgresql_data
docker run -d --name postgresql \
  --env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  --env POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD=bitnami \
  --network odoo-network \
  --volume postgresql_data:/bitnami/postgresql \
  bitnami/postgresql:latest

Step 3: Create volumes for Odoo persistence and launch the container

$ docker volume create --name odoo_data
docker run -d --name odoo \
  -p 80:8069 \
  --env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  --env ODOO_DATABASE_ADMIN_PASSWORD=bitnami \
  --network odoo-network \
  --volume odoo_data:/bitnami/odoo \
  bitnami/odoo:latest

Access your application at http://your-ip/

Run the application using Docker Compose

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/containers/main/bitnami/odoo/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up -d

Please be aware this file has not undergone internal testing. Consequently, we advise its use exclusively for development or testing purposes. For production-ready deployments, we highly recommend utilizing its associated Bitnami Helm chart.

If you detect any issue in the docker-compose.yaml file, feel free to report it or contribute with a fix by following our Contributing Guidelines.

Persisting your application

If you remove the container all your data will be lost, and the next time you run the image the database will be reinitialized. To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed.

For persistence you should mount a directory at the /bitnami/odoo path. If the mounted directory is empty, it will be initialized on the first run. Additionally you should mount a volume for persistence of the PostgreSQL data.

The above examples define the Docker volumes named postgresql_data and odoo_data. The Odoo application state will persist as long as volumes are not removed.

To avoid inadvertent removal of volumes, you can mount host directories as data volumes. Alternatively you can make use of volume plugins to host the volume data.

Mount host directories as data volumes with Docker Compose

This requires a minor change to the docker-compose.yml file present in this repository:

   postgresql:
     ...
     volumes:
-      - postgresql_data:/bitnami/postgresql
+      - /path/to/postgresql-persistence:/bitnami/postgresql
   ...
   odoo:
     ...
     volumes:
-      - odoo_data:/bitnami/odoo
+      - /path/to/odoo-persistence:/bitnami/odoo
   ...
-volumes:
-  postgresql_data:
-    driver: local
-  odoo_data:
-    driver: local

NOTE: As this is a non-root container, the mounted files and directories must have the proper permissions for the UID 1001.

Mount host directories as data volumes using the Docker command line

Step 1: Create a network (if it does not exist)

docker network create odoo-network

Step 2. Create a PostgreSQL container with host volume

docker run -d --name postgresql \
  --env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  --env POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD=bitnami \
  --network odoo-network \
  --volume /path/to/postgresql-persistence:/bitnami/postgresql \
  bitnami/postgresql:latest

Step 3. Create the Odoo container with host volumes

docker run -d --name odoo \
  -p 80:8069 \
  --env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  --env ODOO_DATABASE_ADMIN_PASSWORD=bitnami \
  --network odoo-network \
  --volume /path/to/odoo-persistence:/bitnami/odoo \
  bitnami/odoo:latest

When you start the Odoo image, you can adjust the configuration of the instance by passing one or more environment variables either on the docker-compose file or on the docker run command line. If you want to add a new environment variable:

  • For docker-compose add the variable name and value under the application section in the docker-compose.yml file present in this repository:

    odoo:
      ...
      environment:
        - ODOO_PASSWORD=my_password
      ...
    
  • For manual execution add a --env option with each variable and value:

    $ docker run -d --name odoo -p 80:8069 \
      --env ODOO_PASSWORD=my_password \
      --network odoo-tier \
      --volume /path/to/odoo-persistence:/bitnami \
      bitnami/odoo:latest
    

Examples

SMTP configuration using a Gmail account

This would be an example of SMTP configuration using a Gmail account:

  • Modify the docker-compose.yml file present in this repository:

      odoo:
        ...
        environment:
          - ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes
          - ODOO_SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
          - ODOO_SMTP_PORT_NUMBER=587
          - ODOO_SMTP_USER=your_email@gmail.com
          - ODOO_SMTP_PASSWORD=your_password
      ...
    
  • For manual execution:

    $ docker run -d --name odoo -p 80:8069 \
      --env ODOO_SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com \
      --env ODOO_SMTP_PORT_NUMBER=587 \
      --env ODOO_SMTP_USER=your_email@gmail.com \
      --env ODOO_SMTP_PASSWORD=your_password \
      --network odoo-tier \
      --volume /path/to/odoo-persistence:/bitnami \
      bitnami/odoo:latest
    

Connect Odoo container to an existing database

The Bitnami Odoo container supports connecting the Odoo application to an external database. This would be an example of using an external database for Odoo.

  • Modify the docker-compose.yml file present in this repository:

       odoo:
         ...
         environment:
    -      - ODOO_DATABASE_HOST=mariadb
    +      - ODOO_DATABASE_HOST=mariadb_host
           - ODOO_DATABASE_PORT_NUMBER=3306
    -      - ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes
    +      - ODOO_DATABASE_ADMIN_PASSWORD=odoo_password
         ...
    
  • For manual execution:

    $ docker run -d --name odoo\
      -p 80:8069 \
      --network odoo-network \
      --env ODOO_DATABASE_HOST=mariadb_host \
      --env ODOO_DATABASE_PORT_NUMBER=3306 \
      --env ODOO_DATABASE_ADMIN_PASSWORD=odoo_password \
      --volume odoo_data:/bitnami/odoo \
      bitnami/odoo:latest
    

In case the database already contains data from a previous Odoo installation, you need to set the variable ODOO_SKIP_BOOTSTRAP to yes. Otherwise, the container would execute the installation wizard and could modify the existing data in the database. Note that, when setting ODOO_SKIP_BOOTSTRAP to yes, values for environment variables such as ODOO_EMAIL or ODOO_PASSWORD will be ignored.

FIPS configuration in Bitnami Secure Images

The Bitnami Odoo Docker image from the Bitnami Secure Images catalog includes extra features and settings to configure the container with FIPS capabilities. You can configure the next environment variables:

  • OPENSSL_FIPS: whether OpenSSL runs in FIPS mode or not. yes (default), no.

Logging

The Bitnami Odoo Docker image sends the container logs to stdout. To view the logs:

docker logs odoo

Or using Docker Compose:

docker-compose logs odoo

You can configure the containers logging driver using the --log-driver option if you wish to consume the container logs differently. In the default configuration docker uses the json-file driver.

Maintenance

Backing up your container

To backup your data, configuration and logs, follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Stop the currently running container

docker stop odoo

Or using Docker Compose:

docker-compose stop odoo

Step 2: Run the backup command

We need to mount two volumes in a container we will use to create the backup: a directory on your host to store the backup in, and the volumes from the container we just stopped so we can access the data.

docker run --rm -v /path/to/odoo-backups:/backups --volumes-from odoo busybox \
  cp -a /bitnami/odoo /backups/latest

Restoring a backup

Restoring a backup is as simple as mounting the backup as volumes in the containers.

For the PostgreSQL database container:

 $ docker run -d --name postgresql \
   ...
-  --volume /path/to/postgresql-persistence:/bitnami/postgresql \
+  --volume /path/to/postgresql-backups/latest:/bitnami/postgresql \
   bitnami/postgresql:latest

For the Odoo container:

 $ docker run -d --name odoo \
   ...
-  --volume /path/to/odoo-persistence:/bitnami/odoo \
+  --volume /path/to/odoo-backups/latest:/bitnami/odoo \
   bitnami/odoo:latest

Upgrade this image

Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of PostgreSQL and Odoo, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container. We will cover here the upgrade of the Odoo container. For the PostgreSQL upgrade see: https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/odoo#user-content-upgrade-this-image

The bitnami/odoo:latest tag always points to the most recent release. To get the most recent release you can simple repull the latest tag from the Docker Hub with docker pull bitnami/odoo:latest. However it is recommended to use tagged versions.

Step 1: Get the updated image

docker pull bitnami/odoo:latest

Step 2: Stop the running container

Stop the currently running container using the command

docker-compose stop odoo

Step 3: Take a snapshot of the application state

Follow the steps in Backing up your container to take a snapshot of the current application state.

Step 4: Remove the currently running container

Remove the currently running container by executing the following command:

docker-compose rm -v odoo

Step 5: Run the new image

Update the image tag in docker-compose.yml and re-create your container with the new image:

docker-compose up -d

Notable Changes

12.0.20210615-debian-10-r20, 13.0.20210610-debian-10-r24 and 14.0.20210610-debian-10-r22

  • The size of the container image has been decreased.
  • The configuration logic is now based on Bash scripts in the rootfs/ folder.
  • It is now possible to use an already populated Odoo database from another installation. In order to do this, use the environment variable ODOO_SKIP_BOOTSTRAP, which forces the container not to run the initial Odoo setup wizard.
  • Removed port 8071 from list of exposed ports. This port was used by the Odoo XMLRPCS service, but was removed in Odoo 10.
  • Added port 8072 to the list of exposed ports. This port is used by the Odoo Longpolling service.
  • The WITHOUT_DEMO environment variable was deprecated in favor of the boolean ODOO_LOAD_DEMO_DATA environment variable.
