This software aims to help almost everyone, whether it&#8217;s a small startup or a large corporation. Flectra has a simple and user-friendly interface and a modular design that enables you to add or remove tools to make it work the way you need it to.<\/p>\n<p>Flectra is a fork of Odoo Community and its main goal was to implement many features from Odoo Enterprise while still keeping it open for everyone to use.<\/p>\n<p>In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Flectra on an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/ubuntu-hosting.html\">Ubuntu 20.04 VPS<\/a> using Nginx as a reverse proxy. The reverse proxy will allow you to access your Flectra instance from a domain name while also using the default port number.

The default SSH port number is almost always 22.<\/p>\n<p>Next, run the following commands to upgrade all installed packages on your VPS:<\/p>\n<pre>apt-get update -y\napt-get upgrade -y<\/pre>\n<p>Once all the packages are updated, restart your system to ensure that all packages are using the latest version.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-2-%E2%80%93-Install-Required-Dependencies\"><\/span>Step 2 &#8211; Install Required Dependencies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To begin, you will need to install the Python package and a few other Flectra dependencies in your system. You can install all of them using the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>apt-get install gcc python3-venv build-essential python3-pillow python3-wheel python3-lxml python3-dev python3-pip python3-setuptools npm nodejs git gdebi libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev  libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libjpeg-dev libpq-dev -y<\/pre>\n<p>Once all the dependencies are installed, you will need to install <code>wkhtmltopdf<\/code> tool in your system.<\/p>\n<p>You can download and install it with the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>wget https:\/\/github.com\/wkhtmltopdf\/wkhtmltopdf\/releases\/download\/0.12.5\/wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.bionic_amd64.deb\napt install .\/wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.bionic_amd64.deb<\/pre>\n<p>Once installed, you can proceed to the next step.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-3-%E2%80%93-Install-PostgreSQL\"><\/span>Step 3 &#8211; Install PostgreSQL<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Flectra requires PostgreSQL in order to store its data in a database. You can install it with the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>apt-get install postgresql -y<\/pre>\n<p>Once the installation is completed, use the PostgreSQL utility and create a user for Flectra with the following command. We named our user <code>flectra<\/code>, but you can use any name you like:<\/p>\n<pre>su - postgres -c \"createuser -s flectra\"<\/pre>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-4-%E2%80%93-Install-Flectra\"><\/span>Step 4 &#8211; Install Flectra<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First, create a separate user for Flectra with the following command. The name of this user should be the same as your PostgreSQL user:<\/p>\n<pre>useradd -m -U -r -d \/opt\/flectra -s \/bin\/bash flectra<\/pre>\n<p>Once the user is made, log in with your Flectra user and download the Flectra source from the official Git repository:<\/p>\n<pre>su - flectra\ngit clone --depth=1 --branch=1.0 https:\/\/gitlab.com\/flectra-hq\/flectra.git flectra<\/pre>\n<p>After that, create a Flectra virtual environment with the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>python3 -m venv flectra-venv<\/pre>\n<p>Next, activate the virtual environment with the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>source flectra-venv\/bin\/activate<\/pre>\n<p>By default, Ubuntu 20.04 comes with Python version 3.8.2. So you will need to update the <code>requirements.txt<\/code> file to prevent the <code>psucopg2<\/code> error when installing Flectra 1.7.<\/p>\n<p>You can prevent this error by modifying default <code>requirements.txt<\/code> file:<\/p>\n<pre>nano flectra\/requirements.txt<\/pre>\n<p>Find the following lines:<\/p>\n<pre>psycopg2==2.7.3.1; sys_platform != 'win32'\npsycopg2==2.8.3; sys_platform == 'win32'\n<\/pre>\n<p>And, update them with the following lines:<\/p>\n<pre>psycopg2==2.8.5; sys_platform != 'win32'\npsycopg2==2.8.5; sys_platform == 'win32'\n<\/pre>\n<p>Save and close the file then install the <code>wheel<\/code> module with the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>pip3 install wheel<\/pre>\n<p>Next, install all required Python modules with the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>pip3 install -r flectra\/requirements.txt<\/pre>\n<p>Once all the modules are installed, deactivate from the virtual environment with the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>deactivate<\/pre>\n<p>Next, exit from the Flectra user using the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>exit<\/pre>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-5-%E2%80%93-Configure-Flectra\"><\/span>Step 5 &#8211; Configure Flectra<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Next, you will need to create a directory structure for Flectra to store addons, configuration files and logs.<\/p>\n<p>You can create it with the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>mkdir \/opt\/flectra\/flectra-custom-addons\nmkdir \/var\/log\/flectra\ntouch \/var\/log\/flectra\/flectra.log\nmkdir \/etc\/flectra\n<\/pre>\n<p>Next, change the ownership of the above directories to Flectra as shown below:<\/p>\n<pre>chown -R flectra:flectra \/opt\/flectra\/flectra-custom-addons\nchown -R flectra:flectra \/var\/log\/flectra\/\nchown -R flectra:flectra \/etc\/flectra<\/pre>\n<p>Next, create a Flectra configuration file with the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>nano \/etc\/flectra\/flectra.conf<\/pre>\n<p>Add the following lines:<\/p>\n<pre>[options]\nadmin_passwd = <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">your-password<\/span>\ndb_host = False\ndb_port = False\ndb_user = flectra\ndb_password = False\nlogfile = \/var\/log\/flectra\/flectra.log\nlogrotate = True\nproxy_mode = True\naddons_path = \/opt\/flectra\/flectra\/addons, \/opt\/flectra\/flectra-custom-addons\n<\/pre>\n<p>Make sure you set <code>your-password<\/code> to a good and strong password.

To fix this, we will create a systemd service file to manage the Flectra service. Create a new service file using this command:<\/p>\n<pre>nano \/etc\/systemd\/system\/flectra.service<\/pre>\n<p>Then add the following lines:<\/p>\n<pre>[Unit]\nDescription=flectra\n#Requires=postgresql-10.6.service\n#After=network.target postgresql-10.6.service\n\n[Service]\nType=simple\nSyslogIdentifier=flectra\nPermissionsStartOnly=true\nUser=flectra\nGroup=flectra\nExecStart=\/opt\/flectra\/flectra-venv\/bin\/python3 \/opt\/flectra\/flectra\/flectra-bin -c \/etc\/flectra\/flectra.conf\nStandardOutput=journal+console\n\n[Install]\nWantedBy=multi-user.target\n<\/pre>\n<p>Save and close the file. Then, reload the systemd daemon list with the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl daemon-reload<\/pre>\n<p>Next, start the Flectra service and enable it to start at boot using the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl start flectra\nsystemctl enable flectra<\/pre>\n<p>Now you can verify the port that Flectra is listening on using the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>netstat -plntu | grep 7073<\/pre>\n<p>You should get the following output:<\/p>\n<pre>tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:7073            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      110833\/python3<\/pre>\n<p>Flectra is now set up and running.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-7-%E2%80%93-Configure-Nginx-as-a-Reverse-Proxy-for-Flectra\"><\/span>Step 7 &#8211; Configure Nginx as a Reverse Proxy for Flectra<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Flectra is now running, however it is only accessible at our IP address using the port 7073. This may be okay for some, but it would be ideal if Flectra could be directly accessible using a domain name with the default port (80). To do this, we&#8217;ll set up Nginx as a reverse proxy. Install the Nginx web server using the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>apt-get install nginx  -y<\/pre>\n<p>Once installed, create a new Nginx virtual host configuration file:<\/p>\n<pre>nano \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/example.conf<\/pre>\n<p>Add the following lines.
