Nginx is a popular web server and reverse proxy that can be used to efficiently serve Odoo applications. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up Nginx for your Odoo deployment.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
- A server running Ubuntu 20.04 or a compatible Linux distribution.
- Odoo installed and configured on your server.
- A domain name pointing to your server’s IP address.
Step 1: Install Nginx
If Nginx is not already installed, you can install it using the following command:
1
2
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx
Step 2: Create a Nginx Server Block
In Nginx, a server block is used to define how a particular domain or subdomain should be served. Create a new server block configuration file for your Odoo instance:
1
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/odoo
Add the following configuration, adjusting it to match your Odoo setup:

server {
listen 80;
server_name your_domain.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx/odoo.access.log;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8069;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
location /web/static/ {
alias /path/to/odoo/static/directory;
}
location /longpolling {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8072;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}
gzip_types text/css text/less text/plain text/xml application/xml application/json application/javascript;
gzip on;
}
Save the file and exit the text editor.
Step 3: Enable the Nginx Server Block
Enable the Odoo server block by creating a symbolic link in the sites-enabled directory:
1
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/odoo /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Step 4: Test Nginx Configuration
Before you restart Nginx, it’s a good practice to test the configuration:
1
sudo nginx -t
If the test is successful, you should see a message indicating that the configuration is valid.
Step 5: Restart Nginx
Restart Nginx to apply the changes:
1
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Step 6: Update DNS Settings
Update your DNS settings to point your domain name to your server’s IP address.
Step 7: Access Odoo via Nginx
Now you should be able to access your Odoo instance via Nginx using your domain name (e.g., http://your_domain.com). Nginx will act as a reverse proxy and serve your Odoo application.
That’s it! You have successfully configured Nginx for your Odoo deployment. Remember to keep your Nginx and Odoo configurations updated and secure to ensure the smooth operation of your application.
