Versions

Odoo releases a new version every year

Upgrade

Upgrading allows you to enjoy the latest features and functionality

Hosting

The Upgrade process depends on your hosting type

Option 1: using the command line

Use the below command* on the machine where your database is hosted:
python <(curl -s https://upgrade./upgrade) test -d <your db name> -t <target version>

The following command can be used to show the general help and the main commands:
python <(curl -s https://upgrade./upgrade) --help

To show help for a specific command (for example, test):
python <(curl -s https://upgrade./upgrade) <command> --help

* For production upgrades, use the command production instead of test.

Advantages of the command line

  • Faster upload and download.

  • Faster dump and restore thanks to the parallelization (see --jobs in the Postgresql documentation).

  • See the logs in real-time, to have an overview of the progress.

  • Resume-able in case of interruption.

If you still prefer using the upload form, the process below describes the necessary steps.

Option 2: using the upload form below

  1. Testing Stage

    • Dump your database and request an upgrade by filling in this form (select purpose "Testing").

    • After a successful upgrade*, you will be sent an email with a link to the upgraded dump. Download it and restore it.

    • Thoroughly test all processes and workflows and report any discrepancies via the helpdesk.

  2. Production Stage

    • Once the testing has been completed and you didn't detect any inconsistencies, you can proceed to upgrade your database on production within 3 days after the test upgrade.

    • Dump your database and request an upgrade by filling in this form (select purpose "Production").

    • After a successful upgrade*, you will be sent an email with a link to the upgraded dump. Download it and restore it, then reconfigure Odoo to use the newly restored, upgraded database.

* If the upgrade fails and you are unable to resolve the issue yourself, please submit a ticket via the helpdesk.

Option 1: using Odoo.SH upgrade tool

For full details please check the online docs for Odoo.sh upgrades.

  1. Go to your Odoo.sh project:

  2. Click on the branch on which you want the upgraded database - a staging branch for testing purposes and the master branch for the production upgrade.

  3. Find the UPGRADE tab in the menu bar*, select the version you would like to upgrade to and click on Test Upgrade (it will read Start Upgrade on the master branch).

    Note: For a test upgrade (staging branch) this will always trigger an upgrade of the latest daily production back-up (it will not consider manual back-ups).

  4. Once the upgrade of the database is finished, it will prompt you to push a commit** in order to incorporate any customisations you might have (push an empty commit if you don't have any). This will trigger a restore/update of the build and make the database accessible

Once you are satisfied with the results of your tests, follow the same steps for the production upgrade on your master branch.

* If you do not find the option to use Odoo.SH upgrade tool you can continue to use the upload form.
** You can watch a video that shows how to push a commit.

Advantages of Odoo.SH upgrade tool

  • Automatic upload and restore of DB dumps sent to the upgrade platform.

  • Faster dump and restore of production upgrades.

  • Automatically triggered custom modules upgrade.

  • Strict checks and report of errors from the logs.
