Mastering Odoo 18: Our Epic Journey Through Real-time Chat & Cron Job Nightmares

A Battle Log of Debugging, Breakthroughs, and the Power of Persistence in a Multi-Instance Docker Setup

As an IT company specializing in Odoo implementation, we recently faced a formidable challenge: a client's Odoo 18 Community Edition deployment was plagued by non-functional real-time chat and recurring database lock errors.
