These changes make to possible to run:
tutor mounts add /path/to/my-xblock
The xblock directory with then be auto-magically bind-mounted in the
"openedx" image at build time, and the lms*/cms* containers at run time.
This makes it effectively possible to work as a developer on
edx-platform requirements.
We take the opportunity to move some openedx-specific code to a
dedicated module.

The new domain name points to 127.0.0.1, just like the previous one. We
keep the local.overhang.io domain names for backward compatibility. In
the future, we hope to migrate to "*.openedx.io" but that will not
happen before Redwood.
Close #945
Bumping the `OPENEDX_COMMON_VERSION` in the master branch usually
creates a conflict when we merge the change in the nightly branch. To
avoid this conflict, we add some logic to the `OPENEDX_COMMON_VERSION`.
This change should be invisible for most users.
This partially addresses issue #936.
I added `rsync` to Transfer the configuration, environment, and platform data from server 1 to server 2 command so that we can we able to transfer data.
I found that `-avr` options fit well to it.
This fix is for a rather serious issue that affects users who upgrade
from Olive to Palm. The client mysql charset and collation was
incorrectly set to utf8mb4, while the server stil runs utf8mb3. Only
users who run the mysql container are affected.
To resolve this issue, we explicitely configure the client to use the
utf8mb3 charset/collation.
Important note: users who have somehow managed to upgrade from olive to
Palm before may find themselves in an undefined state. They might have
to fix their mysql data manually. Same thing for users who launched Palm
from scratch; although, according to my preliinary tests, they should be
able to downgrade their connection from utf8mb4 to utf8mb3 without
issue.
In addition, we upgrade to mysql 8.1.0. Among many other fixes, this
avoids a server restart after the upgrade:
> An in-place upgrade from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0, without a server
> restart, could result in unexpected errors when executing queries on
> tables. This fix eliminates the need to restart the server between the
> upgrade and queries. (Bug #35410528)

Close #887.
Manual configuration via the `MOUNTS` setting was inconvenient. We
(re)introduce a new(ish) `tutor mounts` command. Old timers will perhaps
remember that we used to have a `tutor bindmount` command. Well, it's
back! But better and different.
Templated hooks we almost completely useless, so we get rid of them.
This allows us to get rid entirely of hook names and hook indexes, which
makes the whole implementation much simpler. Hook removal (with
`clear_all`) is achieved thanks to weak references.
This is an important change, where we get remove the previous `--mount`
option, and instead opt for persistent bind-mounts.
Persistent bind mounts have several advantages:
- They make it easier to remember which folders need to be bind-mounted.
- Code is *much* less clunky, as we no longer need to generate temporary
docker-compose files.
- They allow us to bind-mount host directories *at build time* using the
buildx `--build-context` option.
- The transition from development to production becomes much easier, as
images will automatically be built using the host repo.
The only drawback is that persistent bind-mounts are slightly less
portable: when a config.yml file is moved to a different folder, many
things will break if the repo is not checked out in the same path.
For instance, this is how to start working on a local fork of
edx-platform:
tutor config save --append MOUNTS=/path/to/edx-platform
And that's all there is to it. No, this fork will be used whenever we
run:
tutor images build openedx
tutor local start
tutor dev start
This change is made possible by huge improvements in the build time
performance. These improvements make it convenient to re-build Docker
images often.

It was useless to create a *-permissions job for every application.
Instead, we create a single "permissions" service. It can be extended
via the "docker-compose-permissions-command" patch.
