calmo.cloud
or OPaaS Cloud?

OPaaS Cloud is a German provider that hosts and operates Odoo for you, Community or Enterprise, in certified data centres with a support desk. calmo.cloud manages Odoo on a server you rent yourself. Both are run by Odoo partners; the difference is who owns the machine.

calmo.cloud

A management layer for Odoo on your own Ubuntu server. It installs Docker, Traefik and PostgreSQL, deploys Odoo 18, 19 or 20 Enterprise, sends backups to storage you own, gives every pull request a preview instance and monitors the lot. Root stays with you.

OPaaS Cloud

Managed Odoo hosting by OPaaS GmbH. Business Class runs on a managed Kubernetes cluster, First Class on a dedicated server. German data centres, ISO 27001 and C5 certification, daily geo-redundant backups, a management dashboard, GitHub integration and German-speaking support. Priced in steps of 20 users, from €66 a month.

Where they
part ways.

Who owns the machine.

On OPaaS the server belongs to OPaaS, even the dedicated one. On calmo.cloud it belongs to you, and the platform is a guest with an SSH key you can revoke. That is the whole difference in one sentence.

Who watches the dashboard.

OPaaS watches your systems for you and steps in. calmo.cloud collects the metrics, runs the checks and alerts you; acting on them is your call. Agencies who already run infrastructure tend to prefer the second model.

Where the backups go.

OPaaS keeps geo-redundant copies on its own infrastructure and offers external FTP backups on its top tier. calmo.cloud writes every backup to buckets you own from day one, and to more than one if you want.

In fairness

When OPaaS Cloud is the better fit

If you want a German company to run Odoo end to end, including Community edition and older versions, in certified data centres, with a support desk that answers in German, OPaaS is the more complete service. Teams without their own infrastructure people are usually happier there.

What it costs.
Run your own numbers.

OPaaS prices its platform in steps of 20 users. calmo.cloud charges a flat plan from €29 a month that covers two servers, whatever the user count. The Odoo licence is the same on both sides.

OPaaS figures come from running their configurator on 14 September 2026 for Business Class in Germany: €66 a month for up to 20 users on annual billing, €60 more for every further 20 users, €15 per staging environment, 20 GB and two geo-redundant backups included, extra storage at €0.30 per GB. Monthly billing is €72, €65 per tier and €18 per staging environment. Their published starting price of €81 is tier one with one staging environment. First Class, on a dedicated server, was €127 a month for 20 users and is sold on annual terms only.

Moving over.
Four steps.

A move from OPaaS is a backup out, a backup in and a domain change.

  1. 01

    Rent a server

    Any Ubuntu machine you can reach over SSH. Connect it to calmo.cloud and it prepares Docker, Traefik and PostgreSQL.

  2. 02

    Connect your repository

    If your addons live in Git, connect the repository. calmo.cloud discovers the addons per branch.

  3. 03

    Download and restore

    Download a backup from the OPaaS dashboard, upload it to calmo.cloud and restore it into a new instance. Check it there.

  4. 04

    Move the domain

    Add the hostname, let the certificate issue and change the DNS record when you are ready.

Good questions

Asked before
switching.

I run Community on OPaaS. Can I move?

Not yet. calmo.cloud runs Enterprise today and Community support is planned. Stay on OPaaS until then, or switch to Enterprise as part of the move.

My instance is on Odoo 15. Can I move it?

calmo.cloud runs Odoo 18, 19 and 20. Plan the version upgrade first, then move the upgraded database.

Do I lose the German data centre?

Only if you want to. Rent your server from a German provider and it stays in Germany. The certifications become those of your provider rather than OPaaS's.

Who fixes things at night?

On OPaaS, their team. On calmo.cloud, the platform alerts you and you or your agency act. If that trade sounds wrong for you, OPaaS is the better home.
