/mnt/extra-addons folder does not work correctly

[SalahAdDin]

Hi guys, i'm new here in odoo and i'm testing it in docker.

I have that problem right know, i two versions: If volumes is - ./rotafilo/addons:/mnt/extra-addons, inside the container i get

odoo@b09e0d9b0a6a:/$ ls mnt/extra-addons/
odoo@b09e0d9b0a6a:/$ 

If volumes is - ./rotafilo/addons:/var/lib/odoo/addons/11.0, inside the container i get

odoo@b09e0d9b0a6a:/$ ls /var/lib/odoo/addons/11.0
odooplm-11.0  theme_extensia
odoo@b09e0d9b0a6a:/$ ls /var/lib/odoo/addons/11.0/theme_extensia/
ls: cannot open directory '/var/lib/odoo/addons/11.0/theme_extensia/': Permission denied

I fixed the second one problem giving the properly permissions, but still if i did it i'm not getting the addons in the default confuguration, it means, in /mnt/extra-addons.

Why?

[rhetr]

I'm having a similar issue, trying to install https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/10.0/sale_rental/ on an odoo:10 instance. I set -v ~/addons:/mnt/extra-addons and I'm seeing the files inside the container but I don't see any new apps in odoo. Is there something else I need to do, like ensure permissions or something?

edit: nevermind, I got it to work. I didn't properly unpack the addons. Then I set

find ~/addons -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find ~/addons -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
chmod -R root:root ~/addons

Hello guys,

are you using mac? If so then you need either:

• to configure the file sharing of docker https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/osxfs/#namespaces

• to use directories inside one of these folders /Users , /Volumes, /private or /tmp

hope it helps

[SalahAdDin]

I'm using Linux: Arch Linux.

@aelmanaa I'm using this as the volume in compose file: /rotafilo/addons:/mnt/extra-addons

[fingerart]

I had the same problem. I'm using Linux.

[jkrauer]

Have you tried to use "absolute path" instead of "relative path"? I have no problems like that but I'm using absolute path.

@SalahAdDin first, use ls -la for details. Seems like mounted directory /var/lib/odoo/addons/11.0/theme_extensia/ has root permissions, and user "odoo" can not access it.
As temporary workaround, set user to root in docker-compose.yml file, but that is security risk. Example:

 odoo:
    image: odoo:10.0
    user: root
    env_file: .env

Don't do this in production mode. Normally, such problem can be fixed using same user UID, GUID on the host and container machine.

[ghost]

you should not use bind mounts, but use named volumes, then the permission will be ok

see docker-compose examples in the end of this page

[miqmago]

In fact I'm having the same problem. I've inspected the mounted image and I see:

        "HostConfig": {
            "Binds": [
                "08bda73663675dbe7c6669d9a0e8a274244aa367f148831a4ce4e0f871273775:/var/lib/odoo:rw",
                "89d2aa93f45c24f7bcab13362e1894fdc17dc0acea09803db1ff3941a4bfce72:/mnt/extra-addons:rw"
            ],

and also

        "Mounts": [
            {
                "Type": "volume",
                "Name": "89d2aa93f45c24f7bcab13362e1894fdc17dc0acea09803db1ff3941a4bfce72",
                "Source": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/89d2aa93f45c24f7bcab13362e1894fdc17dc0acea09803db1ff3941a4bfce72/_data",
                "Destination": "/mnt/extra-addons",
                "Driver": "local",
                "Mode": "rw",
                "RW": true,
                "Propagation": ""
            },
            {
                "Type": "volume",
                "Name": "08bda73663675dbe7c6669d9a0e8a274244aa367f148831a4ce4e0f871273775",
                "Source": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/08bda73663675dbe7c6669d9a0e8a274244aa367f148831a4ce4e0f871273775/_data",
                "Destination": "/var/lib/odoo",
                "Driver": "local",
                "Mode": "rw",
                "RW": true,
                "Propagation": ""
            }
        ],

Which is kind of strange as https://github.com/odoo/docker/blob/master/10.0/Dockerfile#L46 says it should be mapped to /var/lib/odoo, which does not exist in host machine:

~$ ls -la /var/lib/odoo
ls: cannot access '/var/lib/odoo': No such file or directory

my docker compose is like this:

version: '2'
services:
  web:
    image: odoo:10.0
    depends_on:
      - db
    ports:
      - "8071:8069"
    volumes:
      - /var/www/odoo-common/addons:/mnt/extra-addons
  db:
    image: postgres:9.4
    ports:
      - "5433:5432"
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=xxx
      - POSTGRES_USER=xxx

The result is that if I get inside the docker machine:

~$ sudo touch /var/lib/docker/volumes/89d2aa93f45c24f7bcab13362e1894fdc17dc0acea09803db1ff3941a4bfce72/_data/whatever
~$ docker exec -u0 -it odoo_web_1 bash
root@a8e7e369c6fc:/# ls -la /mnt/extra-addons
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 odoo root 4096 Nov 29 16:05 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Aug  9 02:24 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 Nov 29 16:05 whatever

Then I see that the volume is being mapped at /var/lib/docker/volumes/89d2aa93f45c24f7bcab13362e1894fdc17dc0acea09803db1ff3941a4bfce72/_data

Is it possible to undo the mapping without reinstalling whole container?

[miqmago]

Ok, I don't understand why docker created this named volume when I specified path volume in docker-compose.yml

The only way I could achieve the purpose is:

~$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker/volumes/89d2aa93f45c24f7bcab13362e1894fdc17dc0acea09803db1ff3941a4bfce72/_data
~$ sudo ln -s /var/www/odoo-common/addons /var/lib/docker/volumes/89d2aa93f45c24f7bcab13362e1894fdc17dc0acea09803db1ff3941a4bfce72/_data

I'm testing the 10 image and I'm getting the same problem again:

If you can see in the next lines, all addons in the folder has proper permissions:

docker exec -it paisa_web_1 /bin/bash                                                                                                                      ✔  6556  15:49:39

I solved it this time with:

version: '2'
services:
  web:
    image: odoo:10.0
    depends_on:
      - db
    ports:
      - "8069:8069"
    volumes:
      - odoo-web-data:/var/lib/odoo
      - ./config:/etc/odoo
      - ./addons:/var/lib/odoo/.local/share/Odoo/addons/10.0

Why? Because I saw in the web container's logs the next lines:

web_1  | 2018-12-05 05:43:37,281 1 INFO ? odoo: Odoo version 10.0-20181126

So, what's the problem? I cannot understand it.

[rauleburro]

The problem is caused by the volume ./config:/etc/odoo in my case this configuration did not allow the odoo.conf to be created in the container i solved when i create a odoo.conf inside the config folder with the configuration

[options]
addons_path = /mnt/extra-addons
data_dir = /var/lib/odoo

Thanks rauleb!!!

[Wendkouny]

Very helpful @rauleb, thanks you very much

[STEF229]

thanks again @rauleburro , very helpful

[lathama]

@SalahAdDin Is this still an issue for you? Can you close this issue if not needed?

I am not working on Odoo anymore, so I cannot check it.

Sorry.
