Please note that for plain use of mails and reports functionalities, when the host and container ports differ (e.g. 8070 and 8069), one has to set, in Odoo, Settings->Parameters->System Parameters (requires technical features), web.base.url to the container port (e.g. 127.0.0.1:8069).

# How to upgrade this image
# Upgrade

Suppose you created a database from an Odoo instance named old-odoo, and you want to access this database from a new Odoo instance named new-odoo, e.g. because you've just downloaded a newer Odoo image.
Be advise that you can't upgrade this image to a newer version.
For instance if you run the version 8, and you want to upgrade to version 9, you can't.

By default, Odoo 8.0 uses a filestore (located at /var/lib/odoo/filestore/) for attachments. You should restore this filestore in your new Odoo instance by running
The only way to upgrade for now is to pay [odoo services](https://upgrade.odoo.com/database/upload) and upload your data to their system (yes, it is a bit scary for the privacy of your business).

```console
$ docker run --volumes-from old-odoo -p 127.0.0.1:8070:8069 --name new-odoo --link db:db -t odoo
```

You can also simply prevent Odoo from using the filestore by setting the system parameter `ir_attachment.location` to `db-storage` in Settings->Parameters->System Parameters (requires technical features).
If you are about to take the decision wether to use odoo or not for your business, please consifer this information that could greatly impact your business. Indeed, a non up to date software is dangerous for the security of your business also.
