Instances & Console

Instance settings explained

An orientation guide to the six sub-tabs of the instance Settings tab and what each one controls.

Overview

Open an instance in the Console and click the Settings tab. Settings are organized in six sub-tabs. Each sub-tab has its own Save button, so save the section you edited. Several options (noted in the form help texts) are applied on the next instance restart.

Advanced tuning here is a paid feature: if your plan does not include it, a notice explains that some advanced settings require a Pro or Enterprise plan. Current prices are on the pricing page at cicdoo.com.

Odoo

The largest section, covering the Odoo container:

  • Memory: shared memory, memory limit, and reserved memory in MB.
  • Odoo Configuration: your odoo.conf content (reserved keys like admin_passwd, data_dir, and ports are managed automatically).
  • Extra Repositories: additional git repositories, one per line, that replace the project's list for this instance.
  • Startup Script and Environment Variables for the Odoo container (startup scripts require a paid plan).
  • Server Shared Addons and External Filestore toggles, each with a server path.
  • Backup Schedule (times in HH:MM), Backup Format, and parallel jobs, see Backups and restore.
  • Auto Restart: automatically restart the instance on failure.

PostgreSQL

Mirrors the Odoo section for the database container: memory settings, PostgreSQL Extensions, PostgreSQL Configuration, startup script, environment variables, and an Anonymize Database toggle for cloning.

Security

  • CORS Origins for cross-origin requests.
  • IP Whitelist and IP Blacklist.
  • Rate Limiting toggle with separate login and general limits.
  • Content Security Policy (CSP) toggle.

Domain

Shows your primary domain, and lets you add Extra Domains (one per line, with DNS pointed at your server), see whether the Cloudflare Proxy flag is set, and Force Generate SSL to regenerate SSL certificates on the next restart.

Nginx

Web server tuning: Max Upload Size, proxy read/connect timeouts, keepalive and send timeouts, and the X-Frame-Options header (SAMEORIGIN or DENY). Raise the upload size if large file uploads fail in Odoo.

Packages

Extra Debian packages to install in the Odoo and PostgreSQL containers. Changing packages requires a container rebuild on the next deploy.

After changing settings that apply on restart, run a restart from the instance header, see Restarting, stopping and removing an instance.
