server-env/server_environment/readme/CONFIGURE.md

To configure this module, you need to edit the main configuration file of your instance, and add a directive called running_env. Commonly used values are 'dev', 'test', 'production':

[options]
running_env=dev

Values associated to keys containing 'passw' are only displayed in the 'dev' environment.

If you don't provide any value, test is used as a safe default.

You have several possibilities to set configuration values:

server_environment_files

You can edit the settings you need in the server_environment_files addon. The server_environment_files_sample can be used as an example:

• values common to all / most environments can be stored in the default/ directory using the .ini file syntax;
• each environment you need to define is stored in its own directory and can override or extend default values;
• you can override or extend values in the main configuration file of your instance;

Environment variable

You can define configuration in the environment variable SERVER_ENV_CONFIG and/or SERVER_ENV_CONFIG_SECRET. The 2 variables are handled the exact same way, this is only a convenience for the deployment where you can isolate the secrets in a different, encrypted, file. They are multi-line environment variables in the same configparser format than the files. If you used options in server_environment_files, the options set in the environment variable override them.

The options in the environment variable are not dependent of running_env, the content of the variable must be set accordingly to the running environment.

Example of setup:

A public file, containing that will contain public variables:

# These variables are not odoo standard variables,
# they are there to represent what your file could look like
export WORKERS='8'
export MAX_CRON_THREADS='1'
export LOG_LEVEL=info
export LOG_HANDLER=":INFO"
export DB_MAXCONN=5

# server environment options
export SERVER_ENV_CONFIG="
[storage_backend.my_sftp]
sftp_server=10.10.10.10
sftp_login=foo
sftp_port=22200
directory_path=Odoo
"

A second file which is encrypted and contains secrets:

# This variable is not an odoo standard variable,
# it is there to represent what your file could look like
export DB_PASSWORD='xxxxxxxxx'
# server environment options
export SERVER_ENV_CONFIG_SECRET="
[storage_backend.my_sftp]
sftp_password=xxxxxxxxx
"

WARNING

my_sftp must match the name of the record. If you want something more reliable use server.env.techname.mixin and use tech_name field to reference records. See "USAGE".

Default values

When using the server.env.mixin mixin, for each env-computed field, a companion field <field>_env_default is created. This field is not environment-dependent. It's a fallback value used when no key is set in configuration files / environment variable.

When the default field is used, the field is made editable on Odoo.

Note: empty environment keys always take precedence over default fields
