The eight purges are not independent: purging a model frees the columns that referenced it, purging a table frees the data pointing at it. One pass is never enough, so the requested order runs again until a full pass repairs nothing new. Refusals are expected — a foreign key still holds, a module says no. Purging a list at once loses everything to the first one, so each entry purges inside its own savepoint: a refusal rolls back that entry alone. What one pass could not take, the next may, once its neighbours are gone. Leftovers are reported as a warning: a database can carry some that nothing removes, and stopping there would help no one. It refuses a version mismatch. Measured while building it: a shell on Odoo 14 opened against a 17.0 database went rewriting ir_model before dying on a jsonb it did not know. An older Odoo does not merely fail on a newer database — it writes on the way. --- FR --- [ADD] migration : lancer le nettoyage OCA avant de tester les pages Les huit purges ne sont pas indépendantes : purger un modèle libère les colonnes qui le référençaient, purger une table libère les données qui la visaient. Une passe ne suffit jamais, l'ordre demandé est donc rejoué jusqu'à ce qu'une passe entière ne répare plus rien. Les refus sont attendus — une clé étrangère tient, un module dit non. Purger d'un bloc perdrait tout au premier : chaque entrée passe dans son propre point de reprise, un refus n'emporte que la sienne. Ce qu'une passe n'a pu prendre, la suivante le peut, une fois les voisines parties. Les restes sont un avertissement : une base peut en porter que rien ne retire, et s'arrêter là n'aiderait personne. Il refuse une version qui ne correspond pas. Mesuré en le construisant : un shell en Odoo 14 ouvert sur une base 17.0 est parti réécrire ir_model avant de mourir sur un jsonb inconnu de lui. Un Odoo plus ancien n'échoue pas simplement sur une base plus récente — il écrit en chemin. Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5 |

ERPLibre
ERPLibre is a CRM/ERP platform including automated installation, maintenance, and development of open source modules of the Odoo community version. It is a "soft-fork" of the Odoo Community Edition (OCE), meaning it aims at contributing back upstream. It is based on a set of production-ready modules, supported by the Odoo Community Association (OCA) and an ecosystem of specialized companies. This solution ensures digital sovereignty in a local environment while integrating pre-trained Generative Transformers (GPT), bringing an additional dimension to data management and automation.

Installation in production
Easy installation on Ubuntu or Debian using Docker
This has been tested in Debian 12 and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
Note : This is meant for a test environment, on a local network or similar environment not directly exposed to the Internet.
-
Make sure Docker and nginx web server are installed:
sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose-v2 nginx -
Get the latest ERPLibre Docker compose file:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ERPLibre/ERPLibre/master/docker-compose.yml -
Install and run ERPLibre with Docker running as a daemon (web server):
sudo docker compose up -d -
Open the final installation step at this web page :
http://[server IP]:8069/web/database/manager

-
Finish the installation by providing a database name, email and password. then click on Create Database. Depending on your system resources this may take more than 2 minutes without feedback ! Check your browser loading indicator.
-
Next, the web page will reload itself, and you should see the Applications list in ERPLibre:

You can now personalize your ERPLibre installation.
For more information, read Docker guide.
