Set Up Multi Website in Odoo 17
In Odoo, it is possible to host multiple websites using a single database and multiple domains. We can use subdomains in this case. We can create a new website from Website > Configuration > Websites create a new website.
In the website creation form, we can add a name (required), website domain, website logo, Languages, and your custom code to add for the website.
Let's take one example of multiple shops. We will create a multi-website for shops.
In Custom code, we can add our custom code for the head and body, which will affect the entire site. E.g. we can add elements like <title>, <meta>, <script>, <link>, <base>, etc. inside the <head> tag.
We can make our website more attractive by using website themes. We can select the theme from the website builder. Select your website from the top right corner website dropdown.
After that click on the Edit button and go to the Theme section. Here we can find the Switch Theme option inside the Website section.
By clicking on Switch Theme, the website theme picker screen will open where we can select a theme for our selected website.
The next step is to set up the domain in DNS. We can access the DNS portal provided by our hosting service, log in, and incorporate new records into the DNS settings. These records establish the connection between the specified URL and the server's IP address. By adding subdomains, we can seamlessly link them to the respective IP addresses as well.
Then, when we start searching the URL, it will redirect to the corresponding website. We can use the NGINX configuration, which will be pointing to our domain. Our Nginx configuration will look like this.
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name *.mywebsite.com;
rewrite ^(.*) https://$host$1 permanent;
}
server {
server_name *.mywebsite.com;
listen 443 ssl;
access_log /var/log/nginx/testing-access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/testing-error.log;
location /longpolling {
proxy_connect_timeout 3600;
proxy_read_timeout 3600;
proxy_send_timeout 3600;
send_timeout 3600;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8072;
}
location / {
proxy_connect_timeout 3600;
proxy_read_timeout 3600;
proxy_send_timeout 3600;
send_timeout 3600;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8069/;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/certificate.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/certificate.key;
ssl_session_timeout 30m;
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers 'ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RS$';
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
gzip on;
gzip_min_length 1000;
}
upstream odoo {
server 127.0.0.1:8069 weight=1 fail_timeout=0;
}
upstream odoo-im {
server 127.0.0.1:8072 weight=1 fail_timeout=0;
}
We must add crt files and key files to the server, then we can add the corresponding path to the SSL certificate and SSL cerficate_key, here we added the location is /etc/nginx, and we must add the port number also.
