Automating Odoo Deployments with GitHub Actions

Continuous deployment can significantly improve your Odoo development workflow. This guide shows you how to automate deployments using GitHub Actions and Nurosentrix webhooks.

Overview

With CI/CD, you can:

Prerequisites

Setting Up the Webhook

First, configure the webhook in Nurosentrix:

1. Go to Instance → CI/CD

2. Click "Add Webhook"

3. Copy the webhook URL and secret

GitHub Actions Workflow

Create `.github/workflows/deploy.yml`:

name: Deploy to Nurosentrix

on:

push:

branches: [main]

jobs:

deploy:

runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:

- uses: actions/checkout@v4

- name: Trigger Deployment

run: |

curl -X POST ${{ secrets.NUROSENTRIX_WEBHOOK }} \

-H "X-Webhook-Secret: ${{ secrets.WEBHOOK_SECRET }}" \

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \

-d '{"ref": "${{ github.ref }}", "commit": "${{ github.sha }}"}'

Adding Tests

Run Odoo tests before deployment:

run: |

docker run --rm \

-v $PWD:/mnt/extra-addons \

odoo:17.0 \

odoo --test-enable -d test_db --stop-after-init

Deployment Strategies

Rolling Deployment

Updates instances one at a time to maintain availability.

Blue-Green Deployment

Deploys to a staging environment first, then switches traffic.

Conclusion

CI/CD automation reduces deployment errors and speeds up your development cycle. Start with simple workflows and expand as needed.
