Summary

In this chapter, we learned about the additional steps required for setting up and running Odoo on a Debian-based production server. We looked at the most important settings in the configuration file, and we learned how to take advantage of the multiprocessing mode.

For improved security and scalability, we also learned how to use Nginx as a reverse proxy in front of Odoo server processes and how to configure it to use HTTPS-encrypted traffic.

Finally, some advice was provided on how to create a staging environment and perform updates to Odoo code or custom modules.

This covers the essentials of what's needed to run an Odoo server and provide a reasonably stable and secure service to your users. We can now use it to host our library management system!
