Can't make a symlink to the custom addons inside extra-addons directory ($HOME/odoo/extra-addons/<symlink-here>) #2

Hello,

Thank you for providing this repository! In my work, for couple of years I'm storing my Odoo addons inside the folder which is synced by Git. So when I pull the fresh repo from github, my containers are automatically updated to the up-to-date addon version.

To achieve that, I make a symlink from a git-synced addon directory to the odoo default addons path. I'm also using docker-compose, where I mount this linked directory like this:

volumes:
      - ./odoo-web-data:/var/lib/odoo/.local/share/Odoo
      - ./config:/etc/odoo
      - ./addons:/mnt/extra-addons

In this case, I'm unable to do this, because the folder is mounted in a different manner and I believe that Odoo tries to search for the symlink path inside the container instead of mounting the linked directory to the local path.

When I start the container, I'm obviously getting this error: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/administrator/git/odoo14-enterprise/addons' - - -

So, how do you manage to sync the addons, which you are working on using your odoo-docker method? Apart from that issue, the proposed method seems very organized and useful. I would definitely use it, if I could only solve the addon mounting problem.

Maybe you have some idea how to work it out?

Thank you so much, Best regards

Hi @mikolodz thank you for your reporting! Looks like symlinks are not supported by the docker-compose parameters. But this must be checked more precisely
