Show HN: Mini-Runbot – Ephemeral Odoo Enviroments Using Python and Docker
I build a Mini-Runbot, an open source PoC for creating ephemeral enviroments for Odoo from a Git commit.
This is a mini implementation of the real workflow used by Odoo in Odoo-Runbot and the workflow using in the platform Odoo.sh
This workdflow take a testing branch and prepare a database, install modules, start Odoo instance, export a port, check that everything works and cleaning everything up afterward.
A build can:
- resolve a Git branch or tag
- prepare an isolated checkout
- install selected Odoo modules
- run Odoo test
- start Odoo instance
- test an HTTP healtcheck
- expose a temporary preview
- destoy the environment when it is no longer needed
The project is written mainly in Python, using FastAPI, Typer and Codex.
It is intentionally a small and single-host PoC, thats not a replacement for Odoo official runbot, I wanted to explore a lightweight preview environment platform.
The applications is available on PyPI:
pipx install mini-runbot

The next areas I am exploring are GitHub Pull Request integration, workers and job scheduling, observability, concurrency, and eventually distributed execution.
I would especially appreciate feedback from people working with Python, Odoo, CI/CD, or Platform Engineering on the architecture and isolation model.
