Odoo Community hosting

Why Cloudient for Odoo

Running Odoo Community in production involves more than deploying a container. Email needs to work reliably — both inbound and outbound. SSL certificates need to be provisioned and renewed. Access controls need to be configured properly. Custom modules need to be deployed without breaking upgrades. And when a new version arrives, someone needs to manage the migration.

These are exactly the things we have covered. Cloudient is an OCA member and specialises in Odoo Community edition. We provide the infrastructure, the integration, and the ongoing management so you can focus on using Odoo rather than operating it.

All versions supported

We host all versions of Odoo Community. Whether you are running the latest release or maintaining an older version, we can provide a suitable environment.

Versions that are 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. We can advise on the best approach for your situation.

Modules and customisation

We deploy Odoo using Odoo Community Backports (OCB), the community-maintained fork that incorporates fixes and improvements ahead of the official release cycle. OCA modules and custom modules are managed alongside the core codebase through version control, enabling clean upgrades and rollbacks.

When modules are updated, we generate changelogs for each module, review warnings and errors against your databases, and provide a summary so you know exactly what has changed before it reaches production.

If you are developing your own modules or working with an Odoo developer, we provide the hosting environment and handle the deployment pipeline — you push your code, we ensure it runs correctly in production.

Multiple environments

Production is only one part of a well-managed Odoo deployment. We provide multiple related databases running on the same infrastructure, each serving a distinct purpose:

• Preview — an up-to-date snapshot of production for experimenting with live data without affecting it, or for final sign-off before enabling new functionality
• Staging / UAT — an anonymised dataset derived from production for verifying new development before it goes live
• Development — isolated environments for developers to build and test modules
• Service development — for developing and testing hosted services within the production infrastructure

This approach means changes are tested, validated and signed off before they reach your users. It also supports upgrade planning — a preview environment running the next version alongside your current production instance lets you verify the migration before committing.

Upgrades and migration

Version upgrades are one of the most challenging aspects of running Odoo. We support OpenUpgrade migration paths and can plan and execute version upgrades with testing environments, data validation, and rollback capability.
