Odoo windows services and rename folder

services and nssm

NSSM

What is NSSM?

Its program for windows for manager services

Where its path?

Usually C:\Program Files\Odoo\nssm\win64

Why we cant use windows regedit for edit services?

Because the odoo service on windows is not just a service, but an NSSM service. With regedit, we can edit regular services such as PostgreSQL.


When can this be useful?

For example, we want to rename our odoo folder, because all services will refer to the old folder. Or change the location folder or change the paths to the executable files (db,python,odoo-bin).

How its work?

We can change not NSSM services, for example Postgres

>nssm.exe set PostgreSQL_For_Odoo 
ImagePath "\"C:\Program Files\Odoo\PostgreSQL\bin\pg_ctl.exe\"" 
runservice -N "\"PostgreSQL_For_Odoo\""
-D "\"C:\Program Files\Odoo\PostgreSQL\data\"" -w
attention on escape double qoute




Or edit NSSM services as Odoo server
>nssm.exe edit odoo-server-14.0
