Odoo Database Transfer Guide

Everything you need to know about transferring your Odoo database to Cloudient.

What we need

Preferred: Complete Docker image

The simplest transfer is the running Docker image and volume mounts, containing:

• Odoo code
• Odoo modules
• Database
• File-store

This provides the fastest and most reliable migration path.

Alternative: Backup files

If the Docker image is not available, the bare minimum required is:

• Odoo backup file from the Odoo database management app, or a PostgreSQL dump and file-store zip
• Custom modules

Please note: this route requires additional reconstruction work and carries an additional set-up charge.

Supported versions

All versions of Odoo can be hosted.

However, any version that is out of official support by Odoo S.A. or OCA must either:

• Have access restrictions in place and not be publicly available, or
• Have evidence of a security test

How to transfer the files

There are two options for getting the files to us:

• Your current provider can supply a download link to the files
• If that is not available, Cloudient can provide a secure upload location for the files to be placed

Once the files are received and verified, the set-up activity will be planned in and scheduled with you.

Optional: Access control

If you would like to restrict access to your Odoo instance, the simplest method is IP-based restrictions. Access will be limited to specified IP addresses only.

For each location that requires access, visit What's my IP address and send us a note of the IP address shown.
