A migration leaves one database per step and they all still exist, so the tool compares them side by side rather than replaying anything. Six Odoo starts would cost an hour, write to the databases and need the checkout switched at each step; the same inspection in SQL takes under half a second per database and touches nothing. Measured on a real migration: seven databases surveyed in 3.8 seconds. It reports what each step gained and lost — modules, models, views, menus, attachments — and ends on the comparison of the ENDS, which is not the sum of the steps: a module dropped at 15 and put back at 17 lost nothing, and adding the steps would count it twice. The signal that matters is rows. A module removed is visible; a table going from four thousand rows to zero is visible nowhere. Two rename heuristics were tried and rejected on real data before the one that holds. Row count alone paired an account tag table with dms_directory — both had seven rows. A shared five-letter word paired two cleanup tables. Overall name similarity separates them. And a renamed table stays in the loss list, annotated: removing it was the real danger, since a wrong pairing would have hidden a genuine loss. --- FR --- [ADD] analyse : ce qu'une migration a gagné et perdu, palier par palier Une migration laisse une base par palier et elles existent toutes encore : l'outil les compare côte à côte plutôt que de rejouer quoi que ce soit. Six démarrages d'Odoo coûteraient une heure et écriraient dans les bases ; la même inspection en SQL prend moins d'une demi-seconde par base. Mesuré sur une vraie migration : sept bases inspectées en 3,8 secondes. Le bilan final compare les EXTRÉMITÉS, ce qui n'est pas la somme des paliers : un module retiré en 15 puis remis en 17 n'a rien perdu. Le signal qui compte, ce sont les lignes. Un module en moins se voit ; une table qui passe de quatre mille lignes à zéro ne se voit nulle part. Deux rapprochements de renommage ont été essayés et rejetés sur des données réelles. Et une table renommée reste dans la liste des pertes, annotée : l'en retirer était le vrai danger. 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.
