Thanks, both feedback are really valuable.

@Florian, no specific reasons except for the fact that GUI makes things easier sometimes, so I was wondering if the extra-effort (which is not much as soon as you get use to the "mantainance routine") was worth, basically.

Sometimes I suffer from lacking enough experience to figure out my self: part of the reason is that Odoo is my "entry point" in the world of ERP/IT, which I started to be interest in only couple of years ago as developer, but never had time to put too much attention to server mantainance. In the past I have been told that server installation is basically a "must" for the same reason you listed... but I received this information from people who were not daily engaged with Odoo, so I was searching for a confirm or denial in the context of Odoo from community members.

@Oleg Thank you, I will take time to look closely to this script. I think we will start to use docker soon, can run your script with no problem on a container is it right? Also do you reccomend something similar for docker?

Regards

Fransesco,

I would discourage using a desktop environment on any web server, Odoo or not.
it would introduce a lot of unnecessary dependencies, disk usage, and daemons.
More dependencies would also mean a potentially less secure system, just because there is more attack surface.

Is there any specific reason you would prefer Ubuntu desktop?


Sincerely,
Florian L

Dear contributors,

It would be really helpful to me if you can give me an hint on this.

I premise I have very low experience with odoo maintenance as I'm generally engaged with developement area. 

I mantain a couple of very simple instances with ubuntu server but I need to build and be active in the mantainance process of a more complex instance, with e-Commerce logic involved. 

It's been an year I work on server version and I got used to it pretty much, despite that I wonder if it's really worth to lose GUI feature to save some resources for an Odoo instance, so I am considering dropping server version in favour of desktop.

In the logic of an Odoo server mantainer is this crazy or fairly acceptable?
