6. Domain Setup (Hostinger)

7. Nginx Setup

sudo apt install nginx -y
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/odoo

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name znova.in www.znova.in;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8069;
    }
}

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/odoo /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl restart nginx

8. SSL Setup

sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx -y
sudo certbot --nginx -d znova.in -d www.znova.in

9. Odoo Logs & Debugging

tail -f /var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log
grep -i error /var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log

10. Addons Management

ls ~/odoo-server/addons
mkdir ~/odoo-server/custom_addons

Update config:

sudo nano /etc/odoo-server.conf

addons_path = /home/odoo/odoo-server/addons,/home/odoo/odoo-server/custom_addons

sudo adduser deploy
sudo usermod -aG sudo deploy
sudo mkdir /home/deploy/.ssh
sudo nano /home/deploy/.ssh/authorized_keys

Paste your local public key.

chmod 600 /home/deploy/.ssh/authorized_keys
chown -R deploy:deploy /home/deploy/.ssh

Login:

ssh deploy@54.160.135.80

12. Nginx Logs

tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log

13. Restart Services

sudo systemctl restart nginx
sudo service odoo-server restart

14. Final Architecture

User → Domain → Nginx → Odoo
