Hi Bhavin Fadadu, thanks for your reply.

I already saw that in Website - Settings, there I can add the domain and the home page.

So far everything perfect, now how do I make what I design on my web page in Odoo (since when I edit it I am editing the web page that is in my self hosted odoo), upload it to Web Hosting???

Since in no place am I configuring a username and password of an FTP or a database in Webhosting.

I do not understand how the design that I make in odoo of my webpage, will be loaded in the online hosting.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is possible to self-host Odoo on your PC and have the website hosted on a web hosting service. Odoo is a web-based application, and you can install it on your local PC by downloading the Odoo Community Edition (CE) server package from the official website and following the installation instructions.

Once you have installed Odoo on your PC, you can create your website in Odoo and configure it to use a domain name that you have registered with a web hosting service. To do this, you will need to configure your domain's DNS settings to point to your web hosting service, and then configure Odoo to use the domain name.

To configure the domain name in Odoo, you can go to the "Website" module and click on the "Settings" menu. From there, you can enter the domain name that you want to use for your website and configure the necessary settings.

Keep in mind that hosting your own Odoo server requires technical knowledge and may require a dedicated server or virtual private server (VPS) with sufficient resources to handle the application. Additionally, you will need to maintain and update the server regularly to ensure security and performance.

Hi Leandro
When you create a website in Odoo, the content is stored in the Odoo database. However, in order to make your website available to the public, you will need to deploy it to a web server.

There are a few different ways you can do this, but one common approach is to use a reverse proxy server like Nginx or Apache to route traffic from your domain to the Odoo application. This can be done by configuring the reverse proxy to listen on a specific port, such as 8069, and then forwarding traffic to Odoo.

Here are the basic steps you can follow to deploy your Odoo website to a web server:

Choose a web hosting provider and set up a virtual private server (VPS) or dedicated server. You can also use a cloud platform like AWS or Google Cloud.

Install a reverse proxy server like Nginx or Apache on the server.

Configure the reverse proxy to listen on a specific port and forward traffic to Odoo.

Install and configure Odoo on the server.

Use the Odoo website builder to create your website and publish it to the Odoo database.

Configure the reverse proxy to route traffic to the Odoo website.

Map your domain name to the IP address of your server.

Once you have completed these steps, your website should be accessible from the public internet. When you make changes to your website in Odoo, they will be saved to the Odoo database and will be immediately available on the live website. There is no need to manually upload files to an FTP server or configure a separate database on the web hosting server.

Hi,

If you need to use odoo community and set up a website with it, you can consider taking a cloud server and set up odoo in it and bind a domain with it, so you will have your website.


If you need to install odoo in pc and needs to access in from any where, you may need to have a static ip or you may have to use the applications like ngrok.

Hi Niyas, thanks for the fast reply.

I already hi my website on a Shared Hosting, and now i'm trying Odoo on a my own computer.

I understand from what you say that you cannot have Odoo in one place and the website (generated by Odoo) in another
