- \n
- Allow TCP ports 22 (SSH), 80 (HTTP), and 443 (HTTPS) in your EC2 Security Group.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Use a t3.medium or larger EC2 instance for smooth performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Assign an Elastic IP to your EC2 instance to ensure consistent access and domain configuration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Point your domain (e.g.,
yourcompany.com<\/code>) to your EC2 Elastic IP by creating an A record in your domain registrar’s DNS settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Disable the DNS proxy to allow Let\u2019s Encrypt to verify your domain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Installation Steps<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Launch the EC2 Instance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- From the AWS EC2 Console, launch a new instance using the Odoo 18.0 AMI.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Wait for the instance to be in \u201crunning\u201d state.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Access Your EC2 Instance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Set correct permissions on your PEM key:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
chmod 400 your-key-file.pem<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Connect to the server using SSH:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
ssh -i your-key-file.pem ubuntu@your-instance-ip<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Replace your-key-file.pem with your PEM file name, and your-instance-ip with your server\u2019s public or Elastic IP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Run the SSL Script<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Before running the SSL script, make sure your domain is properly configured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, point your domain to the EC2 instance\u2019s Elastic IP by setting up the A record correctly in your DNS settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, if you\u2019re using Cloudflare or another DNS provider with proxy enabled, temporarily disable it so Let\u2019s Encrypt can access your domain and complete the verification process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo bash \/home\/ubuntu\/ssl_configuration.sh<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The script will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Verify DNS resolution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Install Certbot if not already present.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Generate an SSL certificate using Let\u2019s Encrypt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Configure Nginx to serve Odoo over HTTPS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Access the Odoo Web Interface<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open your browser and go to https:\/\/yourdomain.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will be directed to the Odoo database creation screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Enter a database name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Set the master password (as configured in the Odoo setup).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Create your admin email and password.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Click \u201cCreate Database\u201d to complete the setup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
