Here we describe how the docker is used to run Odoo in your system. It is very simple to use Docker for Odoo.

Docker containers make it easy to install the Odoo version. If you already have Docker installed, you will be running Odoo in a couple of minutes.

Let's begin.

Plesk :

Plesk is a commercial web hosting platform with a control panel that allows a server administrator to set up new websites, reseller accounts, e-mail accounts, and DNS entries through a web-based interface 

Docker:     

Docker is a set of the platform as service products that use OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers. Containers are isolated from one another and bundle their own software, libraries and configuration files; they can communicate with each other through well-defined channels

Docker Image:

 Image is a set of files. Setup of system library, tools and other dependencies that will make your container running after hit docker run command with a given image

Start Postgres Server:

 docker run -d -e POSTGRES_USER=odoo -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=odoo -e POSTGRES_DB=postgres --name db postgres:10 

Start Odoo:

 docker run -p 8069:8069 --name odoo --link db:db -t odoo 

Stop and Start Odoo Container:

 docker stop odoo

docker start odoo

Local images for postgres and odoo:

After the above command, you can see your Odoo up and running on port 8069 

You can download and run local images from Plesk as you can see in below screen

We can also run multiple Odoo containers with different ports

docker run -p 8070:8069 --name odoo1 --link db:db -t odoo[image name]

docker run -p 8071:8069 --name odoo2 --link db:db -t odoo[image name]

You can also give image name for Odoo version:

docker run -p 8070:8069 --name odoo1 --link db:db -t odoo:11[image name]

docker run -p 8071:8069 --name odoo2 --link db:db -t odoo:12[image name with tag]

Define port on which you want to run Odoo

Result of the above command in the next screen:

 Run Odoo with local Postgres setup in Plesk: 

We can also run Odoo in docker container without running separate container of Postgresql in Plesk

We can use local Postgres setup to run Odoo docker container

You will get the below screen result without running Postgres container

Conclusion

Congratulations! you have successfully Setup Odoo as Docker Container in Plesk!
