addons_path = /opt/odoo/odoo-11-directory/odoo/addons,/opt/odoo/custom-addons

logfile = /var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log

xmlrpc_port = 8069

dbfilter = *

xmlrpc_interface = 127.0.0.1

proxy_mode = True

 

Step 8: Create an Odoo Service (by sudo user)

  • cd /lib/systemd/system

  • sudo nano odoo-server.service
