VMs could only be servers. A server-or-graphical choice joins both interfaces, installing GNOME along with remote access to it. Packages come from the remote command, not cloud-init: their 1 to 2 GB would stretch an already long boot there while leaving no trace in the monitoring, and group installs do not go through it. The desktop therefore does not depend on ERPLibre -- a VM may be wanted graphical and bare. Each distribution has its own names, taken from the source: Arch has no xrdp in its official repositories and takes TigerVNC. The SPICE display is set only on amd64 and arm64; s390x does expose virtio-gpu-ccw, but nothing guarantees its kernel's DRM driver, whereas remote desktop works everywhere. --- FR --- Les VM ne pouvaient être que des serveurs. Un choix serveur ou graphique s'ajoute aux deux interfaces, et pose GNOME avec son accès distant. Les paquets viennent de la commande distante, pas de cloud-init : leurs 1 à 2 Go y allongeraient un démarrage déjà long sans laisser de trace dans le suivi, et les installations par groupe n'y passent pas. Le bureau ne dépend donc pas d'ERPLibre — une VM peut être voulue graphique et nue. Chaque distribution a ses noms, relevés à la source : Arch n'a pas xrdp dans ses dépôts officiels et prend TigerVNC. L'écran virtuel SPICE n'est posé que sur amd64 et arm64 ; s390x expose bien virtio-gpu-ccw, mais rien ne garantit le pilote DRM de son noyau, alors que le bureau distant, lui, marche partout.

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.
