This commit introduces many changes:
- a fully functional minio plugin for local installation
- an almost-functional native k8s deployment
- a new way to process configuration, better suited to plugins
There are still many things to do:
- get rid of all the TODOs
- get a fully functional minio plugin for k8s
- add documentation for pluginso
- ...
Missing features:
- https certificates
- xqueue
- lms/cms workers
Moreover, we scalability issues due to the uploaded file storage in the
lms/cms. To address this issue we need to develop the MinIO plugin so
that it becomes compatible with Open edX.
Close #126#179#187
This is especially useful on Kubernetes. With this change, the forum
container no longer crashes whenever mongodb or elasticsearch are
unavailable. Instead, it just waits for thoses services to be up.
Previously, we could not run forum migrations in Kubernetes because they
relied on exec-ing the migration command in the running container -- and
there was no such container, because the services where not already up.
In the future, we want to allow users to rely on third-party services
for data storage, such as hosted MySQL and such. To do so, we need to be
able to configure the host/port of these services, which we do here.
This is to address part of #114.
Replace all make commands by a single "tutor" binary. Environment and
data are all moved to ~/.tutor/local/share/tutor. We take the
opportunity to add a web UI and revamp the documentation.
This is a complete rewrite.
