Configure Security Group

Allow inbound traffic on the following ports:

• 22 (SSH) - for secure terminal access
• 80 (HTTP) - for initial domain verification and setup
• 443 (HTTPS) - for secure Odoo and pgAdmin access
• 8871 - Odoo web interface (if not using SSL)
• 4723 - pgAdmin web console (if not using SSL)

Connect to the Instance

ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<public-ip>

First-Boot Setup

On first launch, initialization scripts automatically perform the following actions:

• Detect your public IP address
• Prompt whether to map a custom domain for Odoo access
• Validate your DNS A record to ensure it resolves correctly
• Prompt for an admin email (used for Odoo login, SSL, and notifications)
• Generate or accept an admin password
• Configure PostgreSQL, pgAdmin, and Odoo credentials
• Prepare Apache virtual hosts for your chosen domain
• Deploy the Odoo stack using Docker Compose with persistent storage

Configure DNS (if using a custom domain)

• Add an A record in your DNS provider pointing your domain (e.g., example.com) to your instance's public IP.
• The setup automatically checks DNS propagation across multiple resolvers before continuing.

Automatic SSL Setup

• Once DNS validation is complete, Certbot issues and installs a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for your domain.
• Apache is automatically configured to serve Odoo and pgAdmin securely over HTTPS.

Start or Restart Services

The Odoo stack starts automatically on boot. To manually verify or restart services:

cd /opt/app docker compose ps docker compose restart
