How do I deploy my Odoo instance with Hodiploy?

Once your order has been validated on hodi.host and your server activated, you can manage your deployments via Hodiploy, our exclusive tool built into your Client Area.

1. How do I access Hodiploy?

Log in to your Client Area.
On your dashboard, find your services and click "Odoo Cloud".
In the left-hand side menu, under the "Actions" section, click the "Login to Hodiploy" button.

2. Create and configure an Odoo instance

Once in the Hodiploy interface, you'll see your active instances. To add one, click the "+ New instance" button.

General Information

Instance name: Choose a clear name (e.g. Odoo-Prod-2026).
⚠️ Warning: This name cannot be changed after creation.

GIT Access and Configuration (Optional)

This section lets you link a repository (e.g. GitHub, GitLab) to automatically install your custom modules.

GIT Access URL: Enter your repository's URL (e.g. git@github.com:name/my-repo.git).
Security: Click "Generate a dedicated SSH key". Example on GitHub: copy this key and add it to your GIT repository's "Deploy Keys" settings.
Validation: Test the connection using the dedicated button and select the Git Branch to use.
Webhook: For your instance to update automatically on every "push", generate a Webhook URL and set it up in your GIT repository's settings.

Note: If the Webhook test fails at first, that's normal, since the instance has to be created first.

Instance Settings

Domain: You can use a Hodi subdomain or set up a Custom Domain Name. In the latter case, make sure to point your DNS record to the instance's IP address. Use the "Check Validity" button to check whether your hodiploy.app subdomain is available
Resources & Email Alerts: Configure the allocated power and enable email alerts to be notified in case of an error or an update.

Note: To calculate the recommended number of workers, Odoo suggests - Number of workers ≈ (Number of CPUs × 2) + 1

Odoo Settings

Instance Configuration: Select the desired Odoo version.
Master Password: Important: make sure to note down the "Master Password" shown. You'll need it for the initial setup. If lost, you'll have to recreate the instance.
Email Sending: Choose your sending server. By default, Mailhog is selected (ideal for development and testing).

Update Method

Choose between a manual update (you trigger the update yourself) or an automatic one (set a time window, e.g. overnight, to minimize the impact on users).
