odoo-addon-odoo-instance 18.0.1.0.0rc3

Manage Odoo instances with relevant information

This Odoo module provides a comprehensive solution for managing project instances, their deployment schedules, and associated components such as processes, modules, troubleshooting documentation, project roles, server information, and commercial data. All instances, processes, and modules are classified by the Odoo version.

Features

• Create and manage project instances, classified by Odoo version, and organize them by stages.

• Schedule and manage deployment events for project instances, including the start time, duration, and description, with automatic calculation of the next available deployment window and a wizard to create calendar events.

• Manage processes, associate them with project instances, and track related modules, all classified by Odoo version.

• Manage odoo modules, including their name, Odoo and own version, and associate them with processes.

• Get installed modules and their versions from a requirements file.

• Import real runtime payloads from URL or pasted JSON and process them asynchronously.

• Track synchronization runs with status, timestamps, errors, and payload/summary snapshots.

• Compare expected Git databases vs real server databases and surface drift warnings.

• Analyze module/package inconsistencies (DB vs package, DB vs PyPI, missing package/module, pyenv vs requirements).

• Bootstrap new instances from selected processes using the dedicated bootstrap wizard.

• Auto-apply deduplicated process modules and keep highest detected module versions on the instance.

• Generate and download deployment artifacts (requirements.txt and modules.yaml) from instance modules.

• Troubleshooting tab for storing helpful documentation, such as postmortems, specific configurations, and more.

• Assign users to different project roles within each project instance.

• Display server information for each project instance.

• Manage commercial data related to project instances.

Usage

• For Real Payload Sync to work, install and run the server-side payload generator on each managed server:

  https://git.coopdevs.org/coopdevs/sysadmin/monitoring/odoo-instance-api

  This service produces the JSON payload consumed by this module.

• To allow a user to access this module, we must activate the permission. To do that, go to Settings - Users and Companies - Users, and select your user. Activate the checkbox “Odoo Instance User” and save changes.

Publishing Release Candidates to PyPI

Odoo’s manifest validator strictly requires the "version" key to be purely numeric (e.g., 18.0.1.0.0). Because of this, do not add the rc suffix directly to your __manifest__.py.

Instead, leave the manifest clean and use the ODOO_PYPI_VERSION environment variable to safely inject the rc suffix during the build process.

1. Build the package

Run the build command while passing your target release candidate version:

• Linux / macOS:

  ODOO_PYPI_VERSION="18.0.1.0.0rc1" <command-to-build-the-package>

2. Upload to PyPI

Once built, upload the specific release candidate files using twine:

python -m twine upload dist/*rc*
