Odoo app list in docker is not updated via odoo.conf file or when exec into the container - postgresql

Question

I have a docker-compose file with two services: odoo:latest and postgres:13.
I try to update app list in debug mode http://localhost:8070/web?debug=1
but nothing happens.
odoo service has volumes section:
`volumes:
- ./extra-addons:/mnt/extra-addons
- data:/var/lib/odoo
- ./config:/etc/odoo`
that corresponds to a this directory:
.
├── config
│ └── odoo.conf
├── docker-compose.yml
└── extra-addons
├── __init__.py
└── __manifest__.py
Content of of oodo.conf file:
[options]
addons_path = /mnt/extra-addons
data_dir = /var/lib/odoo
Content of manifest.py
{
'name': 'estate',
'depends': [
'base_setup',
],
"installable": True,
"application": True,
"auto_install": False,
}
I also tried to update app list in the terminal.
When I exec in odoo service and issue this command:
/usr/bin/odoo -p 8071 --db_host=172.17.0.2 --db_user=odoo --db_password=odoo -d odoo -u estate
I get:
odoo: Odoo version 16.0-20221025
odoo: Using configuration file at /etc/odoo/odoo.conf
odoo: addons paths: ['/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/odoo/addons', '/var/lib/odoo/addons/16.0', '/mnt/extra-addons']
odoo: database: odoo#172.17.0.2:default
odoo.sql_db: Connection to the database failed
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/odoo", line 8, in
odoo.cli.main()
...
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/odoo/sql_db.py", line 638, in borrow
result = psycopg2.connect(
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/psycopg2/__init__.py", line 127, in connect
conn = _connect(dsn, connection_factory=connection_factory, **kwasync)
psycopg2.OperationalError: connection to server at "172.17.0.2", port 5432 failed: Connection timed out
Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?
THANK YOU!

Every module needs it's own directory.
As i see, you've put __init__.py and __manifest__.py inside extra_addons folder.
extra_addons should contain module folders, so correct structure should be:
.
├── config
│ └── odoo.conf
├── docker-compose.yml
└── extra-addons
└── estate
├── __init__.py
└── __manifest__.py
where estate is your module code (which for best practice should be the same as "name" key in manifest dictionary)
Furthermore, if you added ./extra-addons:/mnt/extra-addons volume after you ran your docker-compose, you should run it again.
This will only re-create your odoo container since postgres container has not changed, meaning you won't lose any data.
