Let me respond inline.

   Understood, thank you for the response.    I will need to figure
out the intricacies associated with "running as many databases and
business[es] as [I would] like".   But with Enterprise, I can't do the
above without the additional fees associated with the user/licenses,
but I am curious about specific databases making use of the enterprise
modules/apps versus others only making use of the community edition.
Again, it will take some tinking to figure out those thresholds.


> RE enterprise, they have updated some subscription rates so you might find it more affordable.  I believe you will pay per "database and user" for Enterprise.  If you run One Database and have a small number of users and can afford the $40 or so per month license, then running Enterprise will allow you to install what you want rather than figuring out how to do what you want without the Enterprise package.

     I'm not worried about the $40 or so per month license, as long as
the modules/apps provide $40 worth of value to me.   I'm just not yet
sure of the value, again tinkering.


> Generally there are many/many Community additions to odoo.  The additions work on Community or Enterprise levels.  You can also purchase additions "apps" (Ie modules with Costs) and run them on Community or Enterprise.  https://apps.odoo.com  should be the link.

     Yes, I am aware.   It is a bit overwhelming when looking at all
of them for the first time.   I hope to be able to contribute back to
the community as I am in the benefiting stage of the interactions.
Give me a bit of time and I'll be happy to return the gesture.

Yes, I've looked through the above.  Again, quite overwhelming for
those without institutional knowledge that I will only gain by using
the platform.


> It is important to know that most "repositories" on Github for OCA contain several "modules" within them, whereas the Odoo Apps and the Odoo-community.org link above are generally showing "modules only" (generally).

 No doubt.   I'm sure I will figure out the differences between
modules and apps in due course.


> I would be happy to help give you a tour.  I am more of a "user" than a "programmer" but if I can do builds well, my goal is to use Odoo Community plus OCA apps.  I have purchased a few and there are some good ones, but the rigorous build control of OCA is better, in my opinion, than many of the commercial addons.

I would really appreciate a tour.   I can be found on LinkedIN, so
please reach out and we can talk there.  From what I have been able to
find, I can see the amount of work and positive vibes that have been
put out by the community and as I said above, I would really like to
be able to contribute back, when I am in a position to do so.   It's
amazing how far the community has been able to come and can only
imagine what others have developed.   I hope to be able to count
myself as one of the people who has been able to get the system into a
place that works for all of my use cases.   It's an incredible
platform for a wide range of use cases.

  • Odoo -- Community v Enterprise Questions 
    Greetings,

       I'm new to the Odoo community.   I ran across Odoo while
looking for a Point of Sale for my girlfriend's business (brick and
mortar), but alas, we have been using GoHighLevel which has a lot of
overlap with Odoo.   As a result, I was looking at the offerings from
Odoo with respect to the community edition and the enterprise
editions.   But from what I can tell, enterprise subscriptions must
pay per user and Odoo.sh must host the deployment.

      I wear a number of hats at a number of different companies, such
as the requirement for my girlfriend's business below, a not for
profit corporation, which could benefit greatly from efforts in Odoo,
as well as my full time job, which could use Odoo as a cloud services
provider for internal accounting and forecasting purposes.

      All in all, I've been in the Internet industry for a long time
and have my own cabinet in a well connected data center with plenty of
compute and storage capabilities, so naturally, I would like to self
host.   I spent a few hours trying to find Odoo resources, which is
how I found my way here.  I also looked through the App directory, but
I was having a hard time reconciling the App directory with the
offerings included within the enterprise license.    Does anybody have
a pointer to a URL, or documents, which go into any level of detail on
how to create the enterprise experience in a self-hosted environment?
  As a side note, I would like to whitelabel the URL for my
girlfriend's business.   Further, I would want to nest multiple client
instances within a deployment (for her clients' environments) and then
be able to white label a specific clients environment, but that's a
longer term vision.

     Any help that could be provided to point me in the right
direction would be greatly appreciated.    I see a lot of personal use
cases for Odoo, but am struggling to see where the current lines have
been drawn between enterprise and community.

Thank you in advance,
Charles
