Running the Server

Parameters:

● addons_path: Specifies the addons_path folders and they are added in order based

The default value is ‘web’.
● without_demo: It is used to disable loading demo data for modules to be installed.
We can specify the modules separated by commas and use “all” to apply for all
modules. Default value is False.

Database
● db_host: Specifies the database host. localhost is set by default.
● db_maxconn: Specifies the maximum number of physical connections to
PostgreSQL.
● db_name: Specifies the database name. False is set by default. If we specify any
database name, we can only see that database in the Odoo database selector and

provide a filename to store them.
● unaccent: Specifies whether to use the unaccent function or not.. Default value is
False.
● osv_memory_age_limit: Specifies a force limit on the maximum age of records kept
in the virtual osv_memory tables. This is a float value, which is expressed in hours,

records kept in the virtual osv_memory tables. The default value is False, which
indicates no limit for records..
Multiprocessing
● limit_memory_hard: Specifies the hard limit on virtual memory. If any worker
exceeds the limit, it will be killed immediately without waiting for the end of the
current request processing
● limit_memory_soft: Specifies the maximum virtual memory allowed per worker. If
any worker exceeds this limit, the worker will be killed and then recycled at the end of
the current request.
● limit_request: Specifies the number of requests a worker can process before it gets
recycled and restarted.
● limit_time_cpu: The worker will be killed if the worker uses more time than the
specified CPU seconds for a request.

debug_sql, error, debug, debug_rpc_answer.
● log_handler: Specifies a value pair from the list of 'module:log_level' pairs. The
default value is ':INFO', which means all modules' default logging level is 'INFO'
● logfile: Specifies the log filename. If not set, use stdout.

mode, defaults to 8072. Not used in default (threaded) mode.
● proxy_mode: We can set it to True if we are deploying our App behind a proxy.
Default value is True.
● workers: Specifies the number of workers. Default value is 0.
● xmlrpcs_interface: Specifies the TCP IP address for the XML-RPC Secure protocol.
We can use the empty string, which binds to all interfaces.
● xmlrpcs_port: Specifies the TCP port for the XML-RPC Secure protocol.
● xmlrpc: It is used to enable or disable the XML-RPC protocol. Set to False to disable
it.
