Stéphan Sainléger 9947900389 fix: [outline] align database ownership before migrations
The ``pre_deploy`` hook reassigns every object of the outline database
(tables, sequences, views, materialized views, standalone types,
functions, procedures) to the application role before the container
runs its migrations.

Historical provisioning or restores running as the ``postgres``
superuser leave objects owned by ``postgres``, so any later ``ALTER``
on them fails with "must be owner of ..." and puts outline in a
crash-loop at migration time.  Seen on elabore.coop when upgrading
1.6.1 -> 1.10.0: migration
``20260714000000-add-mcp-to-search-queries-source.js`` failed on
``enum_search_queries_source``.

Extensions are excluded from the realignment (they are managed by the
``postgres`` charm).  The hook is idempotent, silent when there is no
drift, and blocks the deployment (``exit 1``) if any drift remains, so
the problem surfaces at deploy time instead of as a cryptic
crash-loop.

Usage

Config info: https://github.com/outline/outline/blob/main/.env.sample

Odoo config: if you configure odoo OIDC connector, the callback url should be like this : https://<YOUR_OUTLINE>:443/auth/oidc.callback

#Requires a smtp-server provider to be functional, you can use #=smtp-stub= charm to provide information to externally managed SMTP.

outline:
  options:
    sender-email: #the sender email (beware the conf of your SMTP server)
    oidc-client-id: #the client id of your OIDC provider
    oidc-client-secret: #the client
    oidc-auth-uri: #the host of your OIDC provider
    oidc-token-uri: #the token uri of your OIDC provider
    oidc-user-info-uri: #the user info uri of your OIDC provider
    oidc-logout-uri: #the login uri of your OIDC provider

#smtp-stub:
#  options:
#    host: smtp.myhost.com
#    port: 465
#    connection-security: "ssl/tls"
#    auth-method: password #IMPORTANT: if not present login password doesn’t work
#    login: myuser
#    password: myp4ssw0rd

Odoo 14

We monkey-patch odoo in order to make it work, be sure to use latest version in 14.0 of galicea openIDConnection module

Database ownership alignment

The pre_deploy hook ensures that every object of the database (tables, sequences, views, materialized views, standalone types, functions, procedures) is owned by the application role before the container starts and runs its migrations.

Historical provisioning or restores executed as the postgres superuser leave objects owned by postgres, which makes any later ALTER on these objects fail with "must be owner of …" and puts outline in a crash-loop at migration time. This was seen on 2026-09-11 when upgrading elabore.coop from 1.6.1 to 1.10.0: migration 20260714000000-add-mcp-to-search-queries-source.js failed on enum_search_queries_source. The same drift was found on every managed server (lokavaluto.fr, lagemme.org, moneko.org).

Extensions are excluded from the realignment (they are managed by the postgres charm). The hook is idempotent and silent when there is no drift, and blocks the deployment (exit 1) if the realignment fails, so the problem is visible at deploy time instead of as a cryptic crash-loop.

Building a new image

We use the official image with an added patch due to 2 bugs:

Note that a PR was pushed with a fix on the first bug. But this was not yet tested.

The fix are on 1.6.1

Fix

Upon calling "/oidc" url, outline will return "Set-Cookie" header with a "domain:" value that is incorrect (still the inner docker domain: "outline" instead of the outer proxy domain from the frontend.)

Fortunately we can simply remove the value "domain" from the cookie by commenting only 2 lines in build/server/utils/passport.js.

The patches will change the "build/" files, so this is a very temporary and brittle fix.
