Synchronize something with anything:

• System X ↔ Odoo
• Odoo 1 ↔ Odoo 2
• System X ↔ System Y

Provides a single place to handle synchronization trigered by one of the following events:

• Cron -- provided by ir.cron
• DB Event -- provided by base.automation
• Incoming webhook -- modified version of /website/action controller from website module
• Manual Triggering -- provided by ir.actions.server. User needs to click a button to run this action

Difference with built-in code evaluation:

• Allows to use json format for incomming webhooks
• Provides helpers for resource linking. See Links section in doc/index.rst
• Uses queue_job module as a job broker
• Asynchronous calls to split big task into few small ones
• Allows repeat job on temporary fails (e.g. when external API is not available)

• Code widget: show line numbers
• Webhooks: add a possibility to retry failed webhook (e.g. to debug code)
• Webhooks: during the migration rename website appearances in links to sync. We decided not to do this in the stable branch to not break existing integrations

If you run Odoo locally and need to test webhook, your Odoo server should be available via public URL. You can either use specialized services like https://ngrok.com/ or make proxing via ssh tunneling as described in the next section. Once it's done set corresponding https://... value for web.base.url parameter (menu [[ Settings ]] >> System Parameters). Also, you should set any value to web.base.url.freeze to avoid automatic change of web.base.url.

• Connect your server:

  • Edit file /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

    • Find GatewayPorts attribute and set value to yes

  • Restart ssh daemon:

    service ssh restart
    

• Connect to your server with -R attribute:

  ssh user@yourserver.example -R 0.0.0.0:8069:localhost:8069
  

Now you can use http://yourserver.example:8069 as a value for web.base.url in Odoo.

Few more steps requires to use https connection (e.g. telegram api works with https only). In your server do as following:

• Install nginx in your server

• Add nginx config:

  server {
         listen 80;
         server_name yourserver.example;
         location / {
              proxy_set_header Host $host;
              proxy_pass http://localhost:8069;
         }
  }
  

• Install certbot

• Run

  sudo certbot --nginx
  

• Done!
