"Course visibility In Catalog" advanced CMS setting was being ignored
because the default the COURSE_CATALOG_VISIBILITY_PERMISSION and
COURSE_ABOUT_VISIBILITY_PERMISSION settings were incorrectly set to the
legacy default, which "see_exists".

It makes more sense to document this command instead of adding it to the
`local` commands. If need be, in the future we should be able to re-add
it as a plugin.
This command adds a burden on the `local` and `k8s` command. It does not
make sense to provide this command out of the box, and not other
administration commands. Instead, we should better document how to run
regular `manage.py` commands from tutor.

are not activated (#266)
- [Bugfix] Fix MongoDb url in forum when running separate service (#267)
- 💥[Improvement] Better `dev` commands, with dedicated development
docker image. One of the consequences is that the `dev watchthemes`
command is replaced by `dev run lms watchthemes`.
- [Improvement] `images` commands now accept multiple `image` arguments
MONGOHQ_URL was not properly set when MONGODB_HOST/PORT was customised.
That's because the environment variable was being defined in the
Dockerfile, and not at runtime.
Close #267
The `dev` commands now rely on a different openedx-dev docker image.
This gives us multiple improvements:
- no more chown in base image
- faster chown in development
- mounted requirements volume in development
- fix static assets issues
- bundled ipdb/vim/... packages, which are convenient for development

- [Improvement] Use "exec" instead of "run" to initialise local platform
This has an impact on plugin hooks. Plugin hooks that needed to run
inside mysql-client now need to run inside mysql container. This
simplifies the deployment, as we no longer have an empty mysql-client
container sitting around.
When mysql is not enabled (ACTIVATE_MYSQL=False) the mysql container is
simply a mysql client.
We ran into an issue when trying to run migrations when the MinIO plugin
is activated. As seen in issues #243 and #244, the
certificates.0003_data__default_modes migration requires access to
MinIO. To do so, the MinIO host must be reached. That means that SSL
certificates must be in place (if https is enabled) and that the nginx
server must be booted. However, it does not make sense to require that
the minio container depends on the nginx container. So, in effect, we
need a fully working platform to run migrations.
In a sense, this is better as it harmonises the init task with k8s: in
k8s, init was already run with exec.
Next step is to get rid of these ugly mysql-client/minio-client
containers that must be up at all times. It would be much simpler to
just exec the commands inside the mysql/minio containers.
All existing plugins are added to the binary bundle, in their latest
version, so that users don't need to pip install tutor.
Also, the tutor MANIFEST.in file was removed to simplify the management
of package data.

- [Improvement] Make it possible to enable/disable multiple plugins at
once
- [Improvement] Add a few local and k8s patches for plugins
Video transcripts uploaded in the CMS were not visible in the LMS. This
was a symptom caused by the fact that the LMS and the CMS do not share
the same MEDIA_ROOT. We initially thought that data uploaded in the CMS
(such as transcripts) was stored in a shared data service, such as
mongodb. It is, in fact, not. This makes it even more important to run
an object storage service like minio for distributed services.
Close #229
The 0003 migration from the certificates app of the LMS requires that
the S3-like platform is correctly setup during initialisation. To solve
this issue, we introduce a pre-init hook that is run prior to the LMS
migrations.

Having an identical "ironwood" tag for all releases is not practical, in
particular for breaking changes. Thus, docker images are now pinned to
the tutor version that they were build with.
Thus, we remove the -y/--yes options, which were kind of unintuitive,
and we add instead `-i/--interactive`. The quickstart commands remain
interactive by default, but can be silenced with `-I/--non-interactive`.

- [Improvement] Better, more robust MySQL initialization
For initializing the mysql database, we now run the mysql client from
the mysql container. That means that the mysql client is no longer
required in the openedx container, as previously suggested in PR #209.
When running `pip install -r /path/to/x.txt`, relative paths listed in
x.txt are supposed to be relative to the current folder, and not the
x.txt folder. This results in an error during `pip install`:
./xblock-poll/ should either be a path to a local project or a VCS
url beginning with svn+, git+, hg+, or bzr+
This error was first reported here:
https://discuss.overhang.io/t/installing-custom-xblock/61
Settings the number of workers for the LMS and the CMS to 2*|CPU|+1
results in 4*|CPU]+2 gunicorn workers, which is too much for a laptop to
cope with.
Close #207
Installing from pip was broken because, for some reason, the
templates/apps/xqueue/settings/ folder contained a __pycache__ folder
with compiled *.pyc files. Rendering the binary files was failing
miserably.
Login from localhost/studio.localhost was broken on Ironwood because the
session cookie was configured to be stored under the production domain
name. We fix this by setting the SESSION_COOKIE_DOMAIN to None: in the
edx-platform code, this corresponds to using the current request domain.
Now that the correct webpack settings are loaded by the `update_assets`
command in Ironwood, we can stop relying on the `openedx-assets` script.
Actually, we could probably remove it.

Configuration values can be loaded from the system environment by adding
a "TUTOR_" prefix.
Environment values supersede values from the user configuration file, so
that we can set values from the command line with "KEY=VAL tutor config
save --silent" even when KEY is already present in the user
configuration file.
Environment is no longer generated separately for each target, but only
once the configuration is saved.
Note that the environment is automatically updated during
re-configuration, based on a "version" file stored in the environment.

This allows us to deploy much faster: all we have to do is to copy the
assets from the container to the shared volume.
We also changed the way themes are managed: similarly to static assets,
they are now packaged inside the docker image.
By default, open response assessment files are sent to S3. Here, we
store uploaded files with the "filesystem" backend instead. To do so, we
must install a forked version of ora2 that fixes a couple issues.
Note that the "django" backend is not very usable, as file extensions
are lost on upload.
Close #97
We don't need to run "chmod" on openedx files outside of development
mode. So, there is no need to set the USERID environment variable in
most cases. This should considerably accelerate pretty much all commands
that involve the openedx container.
For discussion consult PR #98.
Added the possibility to easily change the ports that nginx listens to.
This is useful, for instance when Apache or Nginx already runs on the
host. With this change, it is no longer necessary to edit the
docker-compose file to modify these ports.
To deploy with alternate ports, add a `.env` file with the following
contents:
```
OPENEDX_NGINX_PORT=8080
OPENEDX_NGINX_TLSPORT=8443
```
Rabbitmq was not configured to restart on failures. It does not explain
why rabbitmq crashes (with exit code 255, see issue #80), but this should be sufficient
as a quick fix.
Duplicate "environment" statement in the docker-compose.yml was causing
the first one to be forgotten. Hence, the cms celery worker was running
with LMS settings.
Close #72
Template files are now directly loaded in the configurator container, so
that it is possible to run the configurator container directly, outside
of this project.
