I am planning to deploy Odoo Community POS for my electronics store. I want this installation to be done on on-premises and in the cloud. Like my store operators can use the software on both offline/ online modes depending on the availability of the internet connection. While doing operations offline, I want the data to be auto-synced on the availability of internet. In the start, I will be having a standard Odoo Community version installation but I might build some features and add custom models too.
Which deployment option will suit me more? http://www.odoo.com/documentation/10.0/setup/install.html#setup-install-source
Is there any possibility to have an Odoo Community edition hybrid deployment (on-premises and cloud at the same time).
Is this possible to make database auto-sync for both on-premises and cloud databases?

I'm tasked with creating a hyperledger application that will represent a consortium of same-skilled organizations.
I have the barebones prototype with a network of 2 orgs, built by following the fabric-samples example that I created as a capstone project; I am looking to upgrade the application to a production level.
My question is, is there a GUI/platform available to create and maintain hyperledger fabric networks?
What are the alternatives for tools like the Console?
What would be the best way to start building such an application considering the goal is to get to the production level?
Is IBM Cloud Blockchain Platform the best option for me?
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
I know of Hyperledger Console. I have used it previously for school projects. But can it be used to create and maintain+govern a production-grade HLF app?
IBM Blockchain Platform on IBM Cloud is withdrawn (https://www.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?htmlfid=872/ENUSWP22-0062&infotype=AN&subtype=CA). But the console is open sourced as https://github.com/hyperledger-labs/fabric-operations-console
We are going to develop a SAAS based application using NoSQL (Preferably MongoDB community edition). When we download the community edition we observed that the MongoDB license got changed to SSPL. And it highlighted that we cannot modify the server code and cannot run MongoDB as a service.
Hence I just wanted to confirm here that, we don't do any change in the server code, we do only store data in MongoDB and host them in a cloud environment and make our web application as a service to the customers (SAAS). So it wont violate anything in the SSPL right.
Can somebody bring some light in IBM Cloud deployments tools / platforms whatever?
I am new to it, so I am looking at their docs, watching videos and still i am confused.
What I want to achieve is typical scenario fetch code from repo, build it, test it, deploy it to cloud. I found strategies / platforms how to achieve that and i still can't see differences advantages / disadvantages between them.
So we have:
toolchain
cloud foundry
code engine
Continuous Delivery (service)
and maybe something more? :)
I am looking at Cloud Foundry explained video and the guy is saying if you want to do not care about the bottom part like networking, security, containers you can choose deploy using K8S service. Wtf? So from total automatic thing you can now handle something in the cloud foundry by yourself. So for me its total mix of everything together and i don't know now which tool / platform / strategy to use.
Any comment is appreciated.
It all depends on your requirements.
IBM DevOps/Continuous Delivery/Toolchanis is set of services that can build and deploy your application to given runtime. You can find various tutorials here - https://www.ibm.com/cloud/architecture/courses/toolchain-tutorials. These tutorials shows you various things that you can embed in your build pipelines (like code scanning with CRA, image scanning, signing etc)
These runtimes can be different depending on your requirements:
CloudFoundry, where you deploy app using a buildpak, but this is rather fading technology, so I wouldn't recommend that
as docker image in K8s/OpenShift cluster - use this if your organization is planning or already utilizing Docker/Kubernetes/OpenShift. You will need to create K8s/OpenShift cluster first.
as serverless app, using the IBM Code Engine
If you are just starting and just want to deploy simple, single app to the Cloud I'd consider using IBM Code Engine and not investigate Toolchains for now. Check basic demo here - How to deploy source code with IBM Cloud Code Engine
I have setup a Hyperledger Fabric V1.0 Network by following the Hyperledger-fabric docs and using fabric-sdk-java client I am able to communicate with the network from my java application. Now everything is working fine in the development setup. But still I am not getting the clear picture about its production level implemenation. Looking for some valuable suggestions for the following points to make it production live.
Will it be possible to use this setup for production? then how can I build my network using this docker-compose setup? Which are the options available for production hosting of the network?
If it is possible to setup in production, should I run this docker-compose set up and all in all the peer system's, then how will I configure the docker-compose.yaml to define each of the peers/organisations which are in different system?
I have found Bluemix Blockchain Service as an alternative, but it is having high monthly charges. So is there any alternative to deploy myown Hyperledger Fabric V1.0 network by defining myown peers and organization?
I think that for a production deployment, you'd likely want to implement Swarm or Kubernetes. See Hyperledger Cello for instance. You will also want to have a process and automation for managing the code going forward. Updating images, chaincode, etc. Further, you might want to further automate some of the on-boarding process which at present is rather bare bones.
As noted above, the Docker Compose is designed for a single system. You'd likely want to use Swarm or Kubernetes to manage nodes on different systems and you want decentralized operations when you are engaging multiple entities into a consortia where the members want to choose where they run their nodes.
There is a developer sandbox offering that you can deploy to IBM's Container service (Kubernetes) but you won't be getting the benefits of the crypto acceleration, HSM, and added security of the LinuxOne platform on which IBM deploys the IBM Blockchain Platform. The good things in life may be free, but I would want to have the added value of a vendor provided cloud offering like IBM Blockchain Platform for my production system. YMMV.
If I were to setup IBM Bluemix local, what are the operating systems that can support the Bluemix software?
Been trying to look for answers in the internet but always end up frustrated because I can't find any answer. Even Bluemix site did not mention what is the OS requirement in setting up Bluemix.
Bluemix Local is not a software product that you can install in your own operating system. It runs in your environment but it is still a subscription.
The Bluemix Local install is only performed by IBM and it is an automated deployment of many virtual servers. It is also a managed offering, meaning that you don't have access to the operating system on those virtual machines. All the maintenance tasks are executed by IBM through a secure connection and a mechanism called Relay.
I guess you probably saw this link before, but the infrastructure requirements are described here: https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/local/index.html#localinfra
I think you may need Bluemix Support team to help you build the Bluemix local environment, Bluemix local is a cloud platform as a service that need to build on your infrastructure as a service.
