Integurate Odoo with Nginx

Nginx

 

We use nginx with odoo as reverse proxy act as an intermediary between the clients and the Odoo server , and in this topic we will explain how to use nginx , ssl and reverse proxy to odoo 

Now as we know , odoo is web base and that means we can access the odoo server from the internet if it has  public ip address , so why we use Nginx as reverse proxy ?

Answer : because of

Reverse proxy benefits

• Load Balancing
• SSL Termination
• Caching
• Compression
• Serving Static Content
  

 

Before configure nginx to be reverse proxy to odoo you have to check the following points 

• you have domain pointing to your odoo server 
• you have installed nginx on your computer 
• you have ssl certification installed for your domain 

 

so to configure your odoo server with nginx follow the steps bellow 

• Edit nginx configuration file

  open the file bellow and change odoo.example.com to your domain
  

  /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/odoo.example.com

upstream odoo {
 server 127.0.0.1:8069;
}

upstream odoo-chat {
 server 127.0.0.1:8072;
}

server {
    server_name odoo.example.com;
    return 301 https://odoo.example.com$request_uri;
}

server {
   listen 443 ssl http2;
   server_name odoo.example.com;

  }

  # gzip
  gzip_types text/css text/less text/plain text/xml application/xml application/json application/javascript;
  gzip on;
}

• restart nginx server

sudo systemctl restart nginx

•  Change the binding interface

this step is optional but it's good for security , and we make it because odoo server by default listening of port 8069 on all interfaces , and by adding this step we will disable direct access to odoo server , and we can do that by adding the lines bellow inside odoo configuration file 

xmlrpc_interface = 127.0.0.1
netrpc_interface = 127.0.0.1

 

• Restart the odoo server
