Configuration

• Go to "Settings > Technical > Parameters > System parameters" and set information regarding the target Odoo instance, and the credencials, with the following keys :

1. database_synchronization.host : host of the target Odoo instance, without http://. set only localhost or the myerp.mywebsite.tld.
2. database_synchronization.port: port the target Odoo instance. Typically 8069 for dev instance, or 443 for test or production instance.
3. database_synchronization.database: name of the database.
4. database_synchronization.login and database_synchronization.password: credential used for the authentication.

• This module depends on queue_job module that requires specific configuration to works properly. Make sure your config file is correctly set. See https://github.com/OCA/queue/tree/12.0/queue_job

You should update your odoo.cfg file to add a new channel named root.database_synchronization_install_module:

[queue_job]
channels = root:2,root.database_synchronization_install_module:1

Otherwise, you'll have a non blocking warning in your log, like this one.

WARNING ? odoo.addons.queue_job.jobrunner.channels: unknown channel root.database_synchronization_install_module, using root channel for job 23f6b872-1d2c-4003-bd38-a8486bbec664

Known issues / Roadmap

When synchronizing module installation for the first time, it can take a big while. During the installation, some task could be failed. In that case, simply restart the jobs.
