🎯 Why Choose Addon Uploader?
🔄 How It Works
Uploading custom addons has never been easier! Follow these simple steps:
- Navigate to Settings → Addon Uploader from the main menu (admin access required)
- Click "Upload Addon" to open the upload wizard
- Select your addon .zip file from your computer (must contain valid Odoo module structure)
- Choose override option if you want to replace an existing module (optional)
- Click "Install" and the module will be automatically:
- Validated for correct structure
- Intelligently routed to the correct addons directory (Docker/traditional/custom paths)
- Extracted to the addons directory
- Added to the Apps list
- Ready for activation
- Activate your module from the Apps menu - you'll be redirected there automatically!
🎯 Smart Path Detection: The module automatically detects your installation type and chooses the best addons directory:
- Docker installations →
/mnt/extra-addons - Custom/Extra addons paths → Automatically detected from config
- Traditional installations → First writable path from your Odoo configuration
Note: The module validates zip structure to ensure only proper Odoo addons with __manifest__.py are installed. Invalid files are rejected with clear error messages.
