Hello everyone

I've been working with Odoo for several years now but I still don't understand what is the use of Apache or nginx with Odoo?

I mean, Odoo runs perfectly without them on a local machine so why do we need to use them on a staging or production environment?

Maybe I don't really understand what is the use of a web server.

Hi, 
In your local instance  currently the Odoo may be running as a single process, and single thread will be handling all the incoming requests.


To handle multiple request and multiple users at a time, we have to enable workers in Odoo

And to configure workers we use revers proxy like nginx and apache


Refer this video for details: https://youtu.be/-hVYQd7A7PQ

and https://youtu.be/dQtIKmNdVgA

Hope this will help you 


Thank you

So, as soon as I set worker=0, there is no need to use a Apache or Nginx?

This is exactly the kind of answer I was waiting for
Thank you
