OdooUpgrader - OpenUpgrade Automation Tool

Hi Odoo community! 👋

I've been using OpenUpgrade for production database migrations and wanted to share a tool I built to automate the upgrade workflow.

Background

While OpenUpgrade provides excellent migration scripts, the manual process of:

• Setting up Docker environments
• Managing incremental version steps
• Handling filestore extraction/restoration
• Coordinating docker-compose configurations

...can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially for multi-version upgrades (e.g., 10.0 → 17.0).

What is OdooUpgrader?

A Python CLI tool that wraps OpenUpgrade in an automated workflow:

pip install odooupgrader
odooupgrader --source database.zip --version 16.0

Hello @fasilwdr interesting work! but did you have a look at odoo-openupgrade-wizard already?

Hi, thanks for pointing out odoo-openupgrade-wizard!
I only discovered it after posting — it’s clearly the most complete and mature solution out there.
This OdooUpgrader targets a simpler use case: agencies/freelancers who just get a single dump+filestore and want one command to go from old → latest version with almost zero configuration. No project scaffolding, no config/repos/modules.csv editing — just odooupgrader --source db.zip --target 18.0.
So:
• Complex migrations with custom modules → odoo-openupgrade-wizard (hands down the best)
• Quick, standard community upgrades → that’s the niche OdooUpgrader aims for

Thanks again!
