In Chapter 1, Installing the Odoo Development Environment, we saw how to save the configuration of the instance in a file. We used the default values for lots of parameters, and, if you followed the Standardize your instance directory layout recipe in Chapter 2, Managing Odoo Server Instances, as well as the Installing Odoo for production use recipe for the production installation, you should now have that same configuration file in the production environment. This recipe shows how to derive a configuration file that is suitable for use in production.
