The analysis counted 62 website copies and pointed at other tools to judge them. But the comparison that matters for a copy needs no registry at all: both arches are in the database, paired by key — the very pairing Odoo makes. So it works where the module-source comparison is refused, on a database whose version differs from the checkout, and on a backup zip. On the 12.0 database at hand, where the other comparison cannot run: 47 of the 62 copies have a twin, all 47 compared in under a second, 12 differ. The other 35 are byte-for-byte identical to their module view — they carry no customization at all, which is what decides whether neutralizing costs anything. The fields are named as the module comparison names them, so the full-screen browser and the text report work without knowing which comparison produced the data. A copy without a twin is left alone: it is a page made in the editor, with nothing to compare against. Checked on that database and on a real backup; 8 tests, including that re-indentation alone is not a difference and that a missing arch yields no verdict rather than « identical ». --- FR --- L'analyse comptait 62 copies de site web et renvoyait vers d'autres outils pour les juger. Or la comparaison qui compte pour une copie n'a besoin d'aucun registre : les deux arch sont dans la base, appariées par la clé — exactement l'appariement que fait Odoo. Elle marche donc là où celle avec la source du module est refusée : une base dont la version diffère du checkout, et une sauvegarde zip. Sur la base 12.0 en cours, où l'autre comparaison ne peut pas tourner : 47 des 62 copies ont une jumelle, les 47 comparées en moins d'une seconde, 12 diffèrent. Les 35 autres sont identiques octet pour octet à leur vue de module — elles ne portent aucune personnalisation, ce qui décide si les neutraliser coûte quelque chose. Les champs portent les noms de la comparaison avec le module, donc l'écran de navigation et le rapport texte marchent sans savoir laquelle des deux a produit la donnée. Une copie sans jumelle est laissée telle quelle : c'est une page faite dans l'éditeur, il n'y a rien à quoi la comparer. Vérifié sur cette base et sur une vraie sauvegarde ; 8 tests, dont qu'une ré-indentation seule n'est pas un écart et qu'une arch absente ne rend aucun verdict plutôt que « identique ».

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.

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.
-
