Glue module for storage_backend to use server_environment
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Lets administrators configure storage backends (type and directory path) from the server configuration file instead of typing them in Odoo, so those settings are managed outside the database.
This module connects storage backends with the server environment feature. Once installed, the storage backend type and its directory path can be defined in the server configuration file rather than being entered manually on the storage backend record in Odoo.
- The fields
backend_typeanddirectory_pathonstorage.backendbecome environment-managed: their values come from the server configuration. - When the module is installed, existing values in those fields are preserved so that data already entered in the database is not lost.
- If the module is uninstalled, the database columns that were removed by the server environment mechanism are restored, so the information becomes editable in Odoo again.
It does not add menus, buttons, reports or scheduled jobs. It only changes how the storage backend configuration is sourced, which is useful when the same database is deployed on several servers with different storage locations. The module touches the storage.backend model and depends on the storage backend and server environment modules.
