Server configuration
The server options are setup in /etc/conf.d/trytond The options are:
CONFIG
: the path to the configuration (ex:/etc/trytond/trytond.conf
)LOGCONF
: the path to the logging configuration (ex:/etc/trytond/log.conf
)
There is no minimal configuration required but it will use SQLite database.
To connect to postgresql, add this section to the configuration file:
[database]
uri = postgresql://
To use the web client, add this section to the configuration file:
[web]
root=/usr/share/sao
Don't forget start the database server.
For PostgreSQL:
root #
/etc/init.d/postgresql start
Setup the database following: Upstream database documentation
You can start the server now:
root #
rc-service trytond start
If you want to start the server when de system boot up:
root #
rc-update add trytond default
Client configuration
Configure the tryton client just running the application:
user $
tryton
The client ask about the server connection. Create a new profile with the next data:
Host: localhost:8000 Database: database name Username: admin
Modules installation
Initially, there are only have 2 modules: ir and res. To install other modules, watch the app-tryton category: /var/lib/layman/tryton/app-tryton. You can find the Tryton modules. Install what you need:
root #
emerge --ask --autounmask=y --autounmask-write app-tryton/account
root #
dispatch-conf
root #
emerge --ask app-tryton/account
After that, tell the database that there is new modules installed, for that:
root #
/usr/bin/trytond-admin -c <config_file> -d <db_name> --update-modules-list
