We begin by welcoming you to the course and providing a high level overview of the course and what you can expect to learn.
This lecture contains a workbook that can be used as a guide to installing Odoo 9 as well as set of resource files that will be used in various lectures in the course.
This course is great for someone who has never used Amazon Web Services (AWS) to launch a server in the cloud. In this lecture we see exactly how to launch a new Free Tier Server.
Once you launch your Odoo instance Amazon will provide you a security key that you must use to access your server. We show you how to utilize this key with PuttyGen and Putty to access your newly provisioned AWS Server. Follow along step-by-step and you will see exactly how to get into your AWS instance so you can begin configuring your Odoo installation. Best of all, using the Free tier it costs you nothing to try it out.
After you have successfully accessed your new AWS Server we install any required updates and use the command line in Putty to instruct Ubuntu to upgrade all the packages on the server.
Before you can run Odoo there are several required libraries that need to be installed. This lecture walks through those required dependencies. You can use the attached resources file to paste into your Putty terminal.
In this lecture we retrieve the actual Odoo source code using Git and launch you AWS Odoo Server for the first time.
When you setup your Amazon EC2 Server all you have open is port 22 and a secure connection to the server using Putty. So how can you test that Odoo will run properly in your browser? In this lecture we should you a neat trick that allows you to get Odoo running in your local browser without changing a single security setting on your AWS server.
So far we have been launching Odoo using the command line. In this lecture we use a configuration file to specify an administration password to secure the database manager.
Now we begin learning how to make your Odoo installation available to the outside world with whatever domain name you wish. We first begin by installing Nginx and opening up port 80 on your AWS Server.
Now that you have verified that Odoo is running successfully on your Amazon Cloud Server and you have your Nginx server properly installed we are ready to configure Nginx so that you can access your Odoo server using the DNS provided to you by Amazon. You now have a working Odoo server that is accessible from the Internet.
To setup your domain to point to your Odoo server you will need to contact your domain name provider (ie GoDaddy, Network Solutions, etc.) to properly configure your domain. Sometimes this can take several hours and even up to 24 hours before this will take effect. Fortunately in this lecture we show you a quick easy trick that you can use to test out your Odoo installation using any domain you wish without waiting for the DNS configuration to take place.
Finally it is time to configure your Odoo Server so it will automatically start Odoo when the Amazon AWS server reboots.
NOTICE: This course is to learn how to install Odoo version 9. We have a new course if you are installing Odoo version 11.
We are not able to link directly to the Odoo 11 version of this course but you can find it by looking through the other courses by this instructor, Odoo Class Videos. It is titled Run Odoo 11 in the Cloud with Amazon EC2 Free Tier Servers.
Welcome!
This course shows step-by-step how to run Odoo 9 in the cloud using Amazon's EC2 Free Tier servers. We start right at the beginning with setting up your AWS account and show you how to pick the free Ubuntu 14.04 server tier that will run your Odoo installation and launch the instance right from the AWS console.
Install Odoo in the Cloud on Amazon's EC2 Servers - Use the FREE Tier!
If you have never installed Odoo before, this course is for you. Maybe you have been able to get Odoo installed and running but have struggled setting up and configuring Odoo so it is easily accessible by your own domain name. If you are in that spot in which you can 'kind of' get Odoo running but want more knowledge on how to use Odoo in the cloud this course is for you.
We then take you all the way to a fully working Odoo installation you can access from your own domain name. The course leaves nothing out.

Why would I want to use the Cloud to run Odoo?
One of the best reasons for running Odoo in the cloud is it allows you to take advantage of reliability and redundancy that is very difficult to replicate in a local IT center you would run in your own company. Amazon has experts at every level of security, backups, networking, and performance monitoring that takes a lot of risk away from trying to host Odoo on your own machines in your office.
You can try Odoo in the Cloud Risk Free with Amazon EC2!
