Migrate from Odoo.sh

Move your existing Odoo.sh project to OEC.SH with zero data loss.

Before You Start

Make sure you have:

• Admin access to your Odoo.sh project
• A backup downloaded from Odoo.sh
• Your Git repository accessible
• An OEC.SH account with a server ready

Step 1: Download Backup from Odoo.sh

1. Log in to Odoo.sh
2. Go to your project → Backups
3. Find your production backup
4. Click Download → Choose Full backup
5. Save the .zip file

Important: The backup contains your database dump and filestore.

Step 2: Upload Backup to Cloud Storage

OEC.SH needs your backup in cloud storage to restore it.

Option A: Cloudflare R2 (Recommended)

1. Go to Settings → Storage Providers
2. Click Add Storage → Cloudflare R2
3. Enter your R2 credentials
4. Upload your Odoo.sh backup to a bucket

Option B: AWS S3

1. Add your S3 bucket as a storage provider
2. Upload the backup file to your bucket

Option C: Other Providers

We support: MinIO, Backblaze B2, FTP, SFTP

Step 3: Create Migration Record

1. Go to Migrations in the sidebar
2. Click New Migration
3. Fill in the details:
   • Name: e.g., "Production from Odoo.sh"
   • Storage Provider: Select where you uploaded the backup
   • Backup File: Select or enter the backup path
   • Database Name: The database name from Odoo.sh
4. Click Create Migration

OEC.SH will verify the backup is accessible.

Step 4: Create Project & Environment

1. Go to Projects → Create Project
2. Connect your Git repository (same one from Odoo.sh)
3. Select the correct Odoo version
4. Click Create Project

Then create an environment:

1. Click Add Environment
2. Configure as production:
   • Type: Production
   • Resources: Match or exceed your Odoo.sh plan
3. In the Migration section:
   • Enable Restore from Migration
   • Select your migration record
4. Click Create Environment

Step 5: Deploy with Migration

1. Open your new environment
2. Click Deploy
3. OEC.SH will automatically:
   • Download your backup from cloud storage
   • Restore the database
   • Restore the filestore
   • Configure Odoo
   • Start the environment

This takes 5-15 minutes depending on backup size.

Step 6: Verify Everything Works

Once deployment completes:

1. Click your environment URL
2. Log in with your existing Odoo credentials
3. Verify:
   • All data is present
   • Custom modules work
   • Reports generate correctly
   • File attachments load

Step 7: Update DNS (Go Live)

When you're ready to switch over:

1. Go to Settings → Domain
2. Add your custom domain
3. Update DNS at your registrar:
   • Point A record to your OEC.SH server IP
   • Or use CNAME to your OEC.SH subdomain
4. Wait for DNS propagation (5-30 minutes)
5. SSL certificate auto-provisions

Migration Checklist

Before going live:

• All users can log in
• Emails are sending correctly
• Scheduled actions running
• Integrations working (payment providers, shipping, etc.)
• Backups configured on OEC.SH
• Team members invited with correct permissions

Common Issues

"Database already exists"

The migration was already restored. To re-restore:

1. Go to environment Settings → Advanced
2. Click Force Re-Restore
3. Type RESTORE to confirm
4. Redeploy

Warning: This overwrites all current data!

"Backup file not found"

Check that:

• Storage provider credentials are correct
• Backup file path is exact
• File permissions allow access

"Addon not found"

Your custom addons might be missing:

1. Ensure all addons are in your Git repository
2. Check addons_path includes your addon directories
3. Verify addon dependencies are installed
