What is Odoo?

The open-source Business OS that replaces Salesforce, QuickBooks, and Shopify.

Odoo is the most comprehensive ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software on the market. It unifies your entire business into one dashboard. Instead of paying for 10 different SaaS subscriptions (CRM, Accounting, Inventory, HR, Website, POS), you run everything inside Odoo.

The Community Edition (which we host) is powerful, free, and fully open-source. It puts the core logic of your business in your hands, not on a rented server owned by a VC-backed giant.

⚠️ The "PDF Nightmare" & More

Installing Odoo isn't like installing WordPress. It is a complex Python application that depends heavily on system libraries. If you miss one dependency, your business stops.

Why DIY Odoo is Dangerous

The hidden traps that stop you from sending invoices:

✖
The `wkhtmltopdf` Error: Odoo uses an ancient library to generate PDF invoices. If you install the wrong version (or if it lacks specific patched fonts), your invoices print as blank pages. This is the #1 complaint of self-hosters.
✖
PostgreSQL Tuning: Odoo hits the database hard. Standard Postgres configurations are meant for light usage. If you don't manually tune the `shared_buffers` and `work_mem`, Odoo will crawl when 5 employees are logged in.
✖
Python Dependency Hell: Odoo relies on dozens of Python libraries (`pip` packages). Updates often break these links. Managing a Python virtual environment manually is a full-time job.
✖
Multiprocessing (Workers): By default, Odoo runs on a single CPU thread. To handle traffic, you must configure "Workers" in the `odoo.conf` file. Get the math wrong, and the server crashes.

The "Blank Invoice" Panic

You try to send a quote to a client, but the PDF engine fails because of a missing system library:

# 1. User clicks "Print Invoice" in dashboard...
root@vps:~/odoo# tail -f /var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log
INFO odoo.addons.base.models.ir_actions_report: Generating PDF...

# 2. The Crash
Error: Wkhtmltopdf failed (error code: -11). Memory limit exceeded.
OSError: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory

# 3. Trying to fix it manually...
root@vps:~/odoo# apt-get install wkhtmltopdf
Package 'wkhtmltopdf' has no installation candidate.

Your client is waiting for the quote. Your server is fighting with 2014-era libraries.
