Odoo Server
===========

Create a systemd service unit file for the Odoo instance on Debian with these steps:

1. Navigate to the ``systemd`` service directory:

   .. code:: 

      cd /etc/systemd/system/

2. Create a new service unit file for the Odoo instance ``odoo-server.service``:

   .. code:: 

      sudo nano odoo-server.service

3. Add the following content:

   .. code:: 

      [Unit]
      Description=Odoo Server Instance
      After=network.target

      [Service]
      User=odoo
      Group=odoo
      WorkingDirectory=/usr/local/logistics/Odoo/Instances/Logistics_16_Develop/
      ExecStart=/usr/local/logistics/Python/venv/odoo_16/bin/python3 \
      /usr/local/logistics/Odoo/Instances/Logistics_16_Develop/odoo/odoo-bin \
      -c /usr/local/logistics/Odoo/Instances/Logistics_16_Develop/logistics_16_test.cfg
      Type=simple

      [Install]
      WantedBy=multi-user.target

4. Reload systemd to load the new service unit:

   .. code:: 

      sudo systemctl daemon-reload

5. Enable the service to start automatically on boot:

   .. code:: 

      sudo systemctl enable odoo-server

6. Start the Odoo service:

   .. code:: 

      sudo systemctl start odoo-server

The Odoo Server should now be running as a systemd service. Manage it using systemctl commands like ``start``, ``stop``, ``restart``, ``status``, etc.
