Managing Your Odoo Instance

Learn how to control, restart, configure, and monitor your deployed Odoo ERP instance from the JengaStack management dashboard.

Instance Operations

1. Restarting an Instance

To restart your instance after installing new modules or updating system parameters: 1. Navigate to Instances in your dashboard. 2. Locate your instance and click the Actions dropdown menu. 3. Select Restart Instance. 4. The container will gracefully terminate existing worker threads and restart in approximately 10 to 15 seconds.

2. Pausing & Resuming

If your business is seasonal or you need to suspend operations temporarily: 1. Click Pause Instance in the Actions menu. 2. Container execution will halt, freeing compute resources. 3. Your database and filestore persist untouched. 4. Click Resume Instance at any time to restore full service.

3. Upgrading Subscription Plan

To increase user limits or allocate additional RAM/CPU: 1. Open your instance detail page and click Change Plan. 2. Select your new plan (e.g. from Starter to Growth). 3. The platform re-allocates memory and CPU cgroups instantly without rebuilding your database.
