Letsencrpyt docker reverse proxy for Odoo (non standard app running on port 8069)

beje_at · 12. September 2019

I run a constellation based on the tutorial from TDF with nextcloud, letsencrypt and supplementary I run a odoo 10.0 docker plus a postgres one (required by odoo). Details about the Odoo docker are here: https://hub.docker.com/_/odoo

Basically odoo is running and is available on http://myserver:8069 (also externally from http://mydomain.com:8069) and I would like to reverse proxy to it. For this I will use a https://sub.mydomain.com that is already pointing to my Letsencrpt docker.

Could somebody help me write a odoo.subdomain.conf for my reverse proxy?

I am not a nginx guy, while I started 20+ years ago with apache and stick with it while it lasted. I will put some efforts into documentation this weekend to see if I eventually could get it through.

what is worth mentioning is that I did not manage to add these 2 dockers (odoo and postgres) in the same network as the other ones (letsencrypt, nextcloud, etc)...

Thanks a bunch!

why did it not work out to connect the Dockers in a network? This would be the easiest solution. Have you tried it via the network tab of the docker gui?

An example .conf would look like this(after joining odoo and letsencrypt in a network):

Code: odoo.subdomain.conf

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    listen [::]:443 ssl;


    server_name sub.*; #The name of your specified subdomain


    include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;


    client_max_body_size 0;


    location / {
        # enable the next two lines for http auth
        #auth_basic "Restricted";
        #auth_basic_user_file /config/nginx/.htpasswd;


        include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
        resolver 127.0.0.11 valid=30s;
        set $upstream_odoo odoo;
        proxy_pass https://$upstream_odoo:8069;
    }
}

This goes into the proxy-confs folder. And a restart of the letsencrypt container is needed afterwards.

this generally is not working when the 2 dockers are not in the same network... the reference through docker name I mean...

in the meanwhile I also done some research: I am considering to use the upstream {} directive to define the point to odoo...

I will make some try outs and let you know...

the proxy_pass argument is the one which defines the path to the other docker. You could replace it with the ip of your machine. Still I don't get why the joined network does not work. Is odoo running in host mode?
