odoo-config 0.3.0

Generate, compare and update Odoo config files per version.

odoo-config

A small CLI that generates an Odoo config file, adapted for the target Odoo version. Replaces the hand-maintained server.conf template in remoteoi and is meant to be called as a configuration step by deploy.py, with per-instance values coming from deploy.yml.

Local development

Standard template tooling (uv + make):

make install   # uv sync + pre-commit install
make check     # lock check + pre-commit + ty
make test      # pytest

Other tasks: regenerate the CLI reference with uv run typer odoo_config.main utils docs --name odoo-config --output CLI.md, and the schema with uv run python scripts/build_schema.py (see Schema below).

Commands

See CLI.md — generated from the code, the source of truth — or odoo-config <command> --help for every command and flag (including the --output-format values).

Two behaviours the flag list can't express:

• Ad-hoc overrides: beyond the documented flags, any --<key>=<value> overrides a single option, e.g. --max-cron-threads=0 (dashes → underscores).
• Merge precedence, low to high: preset → --from files → environment → --* overrides.

Schema

The schema is two files, merged at runtime by schema.load_schema():

• odoo_config/options.toml — the odoo standard: option set, defaults, version availability (min/max_version) and per-version default drift (by_version), mined from Odoo's tools/config.py across 13.0–19.0. It is generated (a vendored snapshot, like a lockfile) — do not edit by hand. Regenerate it only when the supported odoo version set changes:

  uv run python scripts/build_schema.py --odoo /path/to/odoo   # or set ODOO_PATH
  

  The odoo root is a parameter, but its layout is fixed: one numeric version directory per version, each holding odoo/tools/config.py. Limit the set with --versions 17.0,18.0,19.0.

• odoo_config/overlay.toml — the trobz layer: customized defaults, comments, sections (ir.config_parameter, queue_job), presets, and non-core extras (sentry_*, legacy networking, etc.). Edit this freely; changes take effect immediately, no regeneration needed.

  Dotted keys in presets (e.g. ir.config_parameter options like ribbon.name) must be quoted in TOML so the dot is treated as part of the name, not a sub-table separator: "ribbon.name" = "" — not ribbon.name = "".

Overlay values win. A pinned overlay default forces that value on every version (the mined by_version is dropped); to keep per-version trobz values, add a [options.<key>.by_version] table in the overlay.
