🎓 Odoo 4 Projects Academy: Upgrade to Enterprise with Git & Docker (Advanced Tutorial)

Welcome to another episode of Odoo 4 Projects Academy!

In this advanced tutorial, we show you how to:

    Use Git to clone custom and enterprise modules

    Set up SSH keys (without accidentally uploading your private one 🙈)

    Upgrade from Odoo Community to Odoo Enterprise

    Use Docker Compose to run a local dev environment

    Set up a staging server just like your live instance

We know startups move fast and don’t always have time to mess around with infrastructure. That’s why we built features like Quick Git Install — just upload your module and you're done. But for the curious (and the brave), this video shows how it works under the hood.

From Community to Enterprise: Upgrading Your Odoo Instance with Git and Docker (No Stress Required)

Welcome to the Odoo 4 Projects Academy!
Today, we’re diving into an advanced (but totally doable) process: upgrading your Odoo Community instance to Enterprise using Git, SSH keys, and Docker.

Now before you panic and run for coffee—relax. We've made everything clear, startup-friendly, and explained all the technical terms, so even if you’re more business than backend, you’ll feel right at home.
