====== Configuring Longpolling for Odoo 15 Nginx (jwilder)  ======




==== Overview ====

This guide explains how to configure longpolling for an Odoo 15 instance using Nginx (jwilder) as a reverse proxy. Longpolling allows Odoo to handle real-time notifications efficiently, enabling features like live chat and instant updates.

=== Step 1: Adding the Configuration File ===

To integrate the longpolling configuration into the Nginx reverse proxy, we first need to mount a custom configuration file. In your ''//**docker-compose.yml**//'' file, add the following volume under the ''**nginx**'' service:

<code yaml> 
volumes:
  - ./nginx/confs/kissa15.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/kissa15.conf
</code>

This ensures that the custom configuration file ''**kissa15.conf**'' is loaded into Nginx inside the Docker container.

=== Step 2: Creating the Longpolling Upstream Configuration ===

  * Next, create the file **kissa15.conf** inside the ''//**nginx/confs/**//'' directory:

<code nginx>

upstream kissa.dz-longpolling {               
    server 10.5.0.13:8072;  # Use the longpolling port here  
</code>

  * **Explanation:** 

    * ''//**upstream kissa.dz-longpolling**//'' defines a named upstream group.
    * ''//**server 10.5.0.13:8072;**//'' specifies the Odoo longpolling service running on port **//8072//**.

=== Step 3: Configuring the Virtual Host ===

  * Navigate to //**service.nginx/nginx/vhost.d/**// and create a file named ''//kissa.dz//''. This file will contain specific configurations for handling longpolling requests.

  * **File Content**:
<code nginx>
# Add these proxy settings to optimize performance
proxy_buffers 16 64k;
proxy_buffer_size 128k;
proxy_read_timeout 300;
proxy_connect_timeout 300;
proxy_send_timeout 300;

# Add the longpolling location
location /longpolling {
    proxy_pass http://kissa.dz-longpolling;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_read_timeout 600s;
    proxy_connect_timeout 600s;
}
</code>

  * **Explanation:** 


    * The ''//**proxy_buffers**//'' and ''//**proxy_buffer_size**//'' settings improve proxy performance.
    * The ''//**proxy_read_timeout**//'', ''//**proxy_connect_timeout**//'', and ''//**proxy_send_timeout**//'' prevent timeouts during longpolling requests.
    * The ''//**location /longpolling**//'' block configures Nginx to forward WebSocket-based longpolling requests to the upstream server (//**kissa.dz-longpolling**//).
    * The ''//**proxy_set_header**//'' directives ensure proper WebSocket handling and preserve client IP addresses.

=== Step 4: Restarting Nginx Proxy ===

After making the changes, restart the Nginx proxy container to apply the configuration:

<code bash>
docker-compose up && docker-compose down
</code>

To validate the configuration, run:

<code bash>
docker exec -it nginx-proxy nginx -t
</code>

If the configuration is correct, you should see:

<cli>
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
</cli>

Finally, reload the Nginx service inside the container:

<code bash>
docker exec -i nginx-proxy nginx -s reload
</code>

=== Step 5: Verifying Longpolling ===

Once the configuration is applied, your Odoo 15 instance should now be able to use longpolling effectively, improving real-time interactions such as:
  - Live chat responsiveness
  - Instant notifications
  - Efficient handling of background events


**''Note''**

  * Longpolling configuration was mainly added for workers activation , in kissa's case activating workers would result in POS (Point of sale) crushing 
  * and here is the current odoo.conf configuration that works with longpolling
<code conf>
[options]
addons_path = /mnt/extra-addons
data_dir = /var/lib/odoo
proxy_mode = True
db_maxconn = 300
limit_memory_hard = 17180000000
limit_memory_soft = 8589000000
limit_request = 81920
limit_time_cpu = 6000
limit_time_real = 1200
max_cron_threads = 3
workers = 10
max_xmlrpc_threads = 2

</code>



=== Conclusion ===


  * By following these steps, you have successfully configured longpolling for Odoo 15 using Nginx (jwilder) as a reverse proxy. This setup ensures that your Odoo instance can handle real-time features efficiently while maintaining performance and stability.
