Hello

Even if Odoo mentioned that 0.12.5.1 https://github.com/odoo/odoo/wiki/Wkhtmltopdf is supported I have not yet succeeded in having it working for Odoo even if the install is correct (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS updated)
with the following steps
after
sudo wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.5/wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.bionic_amd64.deb
sudo apt install -y ./wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.bionic_amd64.deb (this allows to install all the dependencies)
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf /usr/bin
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltoimage /usr/bin

So if @Yenthe666 has an idea

PS: odoo server log INFO ? odoo.addons.base.ir.ir_actions_report: Will use the Wkhtmltopdf binary at /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf

FYI
Odoo is not "seeing" wkhtmltopdf if is not installed in /odoo

It was not working when I installed Odoo in /opt/odoo....weird
Maybe I miss something but install script is the same just chnage the home of odoo user...

[Yenthe666]

@ChristopheLux I've got dozens of instances running with wkthmltopdf outside of the Odoo directory with this script. Your wkhtmltoimage and wkhtmltopdf belong to the user root which is most likely not your Odoo user (and shouldn't be).

[ChristopheLux]

Sorry If I was not precise

My installation works if odoo home is /odoo
My installation does not work if odoo home is /opt/odoo

wkhtmltopdf/image never installed in odoo directory and never owned by odoo users
PS I used you script just changed the home

[Yenthe666]

@ChristopheLux you can just change the home directory at https://github.com/Yenthe666/InstallScript/blob/12.0/odoo_install.sh#L18 ?

[ChristopheLux]

That is what I did :) forgot to mention it is for Odoo v11

[Yenthe666]

odd, that should really work. I have dozens of instances running in different folders that are both under /opt and not under /opt. Perhaps you have right issues?
