Containerized Odoo 18 on Alma Linux 10 by Elyxia Global Limited

Elyxia Global Limited brings you a robust and performance-optimized Odoo 18 Community image on AlmaLinux 10. This ready-to-deploy AMI gives you a working ERP in minutes rather than a day spent assembling Python, PostgreSQL, a web server and a report engine. Odoo runs the whole business from one database. Sales and CRM, quotations and invoicing, accounting, inventory and purchasing, manufacturing, project management, HR, and a website and eCommerce front end are installed from the Apps menu as you need them, and they share the same customers, products and documents rather than being separate systems that have to be integrated. The AlmaLinux 10 base ensures your system runs on a secure, enterprise-grade Linux distribution known for stability and long-term support. Whether you are a small team running quotations and stock or a business adding manufacturing and accounting later, Odoo grows one app at a time, and its open-source licence means you keep full control of your data with no per-user fee.

Pre-bundled with this AMI: Odoo 18 Community, AlmaLinux 10, PostgreSQL 16, Python 3.12, Caddy reverse proxy, PDF report engine, Docker and Docker Compose

The application runs in containers. Odoo and its database are managed by Docker Compose on the instance, which means application updates can be delivered without replacing the AMI, and the database runs on an isolated internal network with no port exposed to the internet. Your attachments, documents and generated invoices are kept in separate storage that an application update does not touch.

Your Odoo is installed and ready when the instance finishes starting. There is no database creation screen and no master password to choose. The administrator account is created for you and its password is shown once, in the summary at the end of installation.

The exact Odoo version is fixed in the image. Odoo publishes no release tags, so an installation that builds from the public repository gets whatever changed that day. This image is built from one recorded commit, which means every instance of a given build is running exactly the same code as every other.

PDF reports work from the first day. The report engine that renders quotations, invoices and reports is installed and configured, including the page headers, footers and numbering that are missing from many self-built installations.

This is a clean Odoo with no sample data, so nothing has to be cleared out before you enter real records.

Exclusive Fixes and Resolutions by Elyxia Global Limited:

• Real-Time Features Restored: chat, live notifications and presence work out of the box. A self-built install commonly routes these to the path Odoo replaced in version 16, so nothing reaches the service and the features fail silently.
• PDF Reports Print Correctly: quotations, invoices and reports render with page headers, footers and page numbering, using the patched rendering engine Odoo requires. Installations built from the standard package usually get a plain engine that drops all three.
• Report Engine Protected From a Silent Misconfiguration: Odoo disables PDF rendering entirely when it is started with exactly one worker process, without reporting an error. This image is configured so that cannot happen.
• Your Domain Address Stays Put: Odoo rewrites its own recorded web address on the next administrator login unless a second setting is written alongside it. Our domain tool writes both, so associating a domain does not quietly undo itself.
• Database Closed to the Internet: PostgreSQL runs on a private network inside the instance with no published port, and Odoo`s own ports are reachable only through the HTTPS proxy.

Use your own domain name with a free SSL certificate. One command requests a Let`s Encrypt certificate, renews it automatically, and redirects HTTP to HTTPS.

The instance needs only three inbound ports: 22 for SSH, 80 and 443 for Odoo and certificate issuance. This image does not include a local mail server, so Odoo sends through an SMTP server that you provide, configured under Settings, Technical, Outgoing Mail Servers.
