Learn how a docker compose yml file defines web and database services, uses a postgres:10 image, sets environment variables for user, password, and an empty database, and exposes ports.

Learn to mount local addon folders in an Odoo docker image by configuring volumes in docker compose, mapping host folders for addons, config, and database data to the container.

Install and verify a mounted addon in your Odoo Docker image by enabling debug mode, loading the addons folder, and ensuring the system scans the addon inside the container.

Create a dedicated addons folder, gather and embed selected addons into the Odoo Docker image, so they're ready to install without config changes.

Explore how the copy command copies all contents from the source into the image, includes the config addon, and places the addons folder so it gets scanned inside the container.

Rebuild our custom Odoo Docker image by updating from version 1.1 to 1.2, ensuring custom items stay inside, and mounting the local config folder with addons and the conflict file.

Learn how to test and install Odoo addons inside a custom docker image, including running containers, accessing the database, enabling addons, and launching a help desk workflow.
