8. Use experience and summary

This practice "Huawei Cloud Yunyao Cloud Server L Instance Evaluation | Yunyao Cloud Server L Instance Deployment Odoo Open Source ERP Platform" was successfully completed. In the Docker environment, Huawei Cloud Yaoyun Server L instance can deploy multiple containers and run multiple services at the same time, saving server resources and maximizing server resource utilization. There are several points that need to be paid attention to in this practice:
1. The inbound direction of the cloud server security group needs to release the oddo service port;
2. The odoo service listening port 8069 of the cloud server should be careful not to cause port conflicts, which will cause the container to fail to start;
3. The host hangs The permissions of the download directory must be set, otherwise an error will be reported when accessing odoo's web service.
