When tutor is run as root, the `tutor config printroot` and `tutor
config printvalue` commands used to write to stdout, which was causing
issues when combined with `tutor config render` and `tutor local
settheme` commands.
See discussion:
https://discuss.overhang.io/t/error-while-install-indigo-theme/1056
First, allow using custom Django settings on a development
environment (as documented but not implemented), setting it to the
correct value of `tutor.development`. Prior to this, `tutor dev
runserver lms` would default to `tutor.production` when on a custom edX
branch.
Second, fix the documentation so the correct environment variable is
described, at the same time removing an option that doesn't seem to work.

We manage to get unit tests to run in a dedicated openedx-test container. Only
35 tests are failing (out of 17k). I suspect these tests are also failing in
the devstack.
`local exec` was failing with the following stacktrace:

- [Bugfix] Fix "Read-only file system" errors when running `tutor dev
runserver` commands on Mac OS. (again, see #392)
- [Feature] Automatically bind-mount volumes from the `volumes/` directory with
the `--volume=/...` syntax.
Looks like the `-perm /u=w` argument incorrectly includes files from the
read-only filesystem. This should be fixed by the `-writable` option.
Close #392
This introduces a new dev/local command:
tutor dev bindmount CONTAINER PATH
And a new volume syntax:
tutor dev run --volume=PATH CONTAINER
This syntax automatically bind-mounts folders from the tutorroot/volumes
directory, which is pretty nifty.
- 💥[Improvement] Upgrade Open edX to Koa
- 💥 Setting changes:
- The ``ACTIVATE_HTTPS`` setting was renamed to ``ENABLE_HTTPS``.
- Other ``ACTIVATE_*`` variables were all renamed to ``RUN_*``.
- The ``WEB_PROXY`` setting was removed and ``RUN_CADDY`` was added.
- The ``NGINX_HTTPS_PORT`` setting is deprecated.
- Architectural changes:
- Use Caddy as a web proxy for automated SSL/TLS certificate generation:
- Nginx no longer listens to port 443 for https traffic
- The Caddy configuration file comes with a new ``caddyfile`` patch for much simpler SSL/TLS management.
- Configuration files for web proxies are no longer provided.
- Kubernetes deployment no longer requires setting up a custom Ingress resource or custom manager.
- Gunicorn and Whitenoise are replaced by uwsgi: this increases boostrap performance and makes it no longer necessary to mount media folders in the Nginx container.
- Replace memcached and rabbitmq by redis.
- Additional features:
- Make it possible to disable all plugins at once with ``plugins disable all``.
- Add ``tutor k8s wait`` command to wait for a pod to become ready
- Faster, more reliable static assets with local memory caching
- Deprecation: proxy files for Apache and Nginx are no longer provided out of the box.
- Removed plugin `{{ patch (...) }}` statements:
- "https-create", "k8s-ingress-rules", "k8s-ingress-tls-hosts": these are no longer necessary. Instead, declare your app in the "caddyfile" patch.
- "local-docker-compose-nginx-volumes": this patch was primarily used to serve media assets. The recommended is now to serve assets with uwsgi.
As discussed in
https://discuss.overhang.io/t/lms-worker-timeout-issue/1057/8, the
timeout of the gunicorn worker is a bit low, causing the worker to
crashloop on slower systems. By increasing the timeout to 120 seconds,
the worker should have time to come up before it gets restarted.
- 💥[Improvement] Remove `dev/local pullimages`. Instead, run `dev/local
dc pull`.
- 💥[Improvement] Add `dev dc` and `local dc` commands as thin wrappers
of the `docker-compose` CLI.
- 💥[Improvement] Remove the undocumented `local run_hook` command.
Instead, run `local init --limit=...`.
- 💥[Improvement] Remove `tutor android pullimage` command. Instead, run
`tutor images pull android`.
- [Bugfix] Fix `config save` on Windows.
- [Bugfix] Fix platform checking in user ID function
- [Bugfix] Fix dependency error during `pip install tutor` due to urllib3 incompatibility
- [Bugfix] Fix user ID checking under Windows.
- [Bugfix] Fix template rendering for Windows users.
- [Improvement] Switch to `bcrypt` for htpasswd password generation, for better portability on Windows.
- [Improvement] In the openedx production docker image, add some jitter to the gunicorn worker restart process to prevent all workers from restarting at the same time.
requests depends on urllib3<1.26.0, while urllib3==1.26.0 was just
released. We need to introduce a constraint on urllib3 to avoid the
following error when running `pip install -e`:
pkg_resources.ContextualVersionConflict: (urllib3 1.26.0
(./venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages),
Requirement.parse('urllib3!=1.25.0,!=1.25.1,<1.26,>=1.21.1'),
{'requests'})
We will be able to remove this constraint once requests becomes
compatible with urllib3==1.26.0. To test this change just run `pip
install -e tutor` and then run a dummy command, such as `tutor local
stop`.
- [Improvement] Mount config and setting files in read-only mode
- 💥[Improvement] Enable unit completion tracking by default.
- [Bugfix] Run `apt update` before `apt install` when installing deps in
the openedx Dockerfile
- [Improvement] Make all commands considerably faster
- [Improvement] Make it easier to override Mongodb connection parameters
- [Bugfix] Add support for .woff and .woff2 font files in themes (thanks @mrtndwrd!)
CORS headers are no longer handled by nginx, but directly by the LMS.
This makes it possible by 3rd-party apps to easily add domain names to
the CORS whitelist, even when they are not subdomains of the LMS.
- [Feature] Add ``images printtag`` command
- [Improvement] Make it possible to override individual contact email
addresses with plugins
- [Bugfix] Replace "no-reply@LMS_BASE" email address by regular contact
email address
- [Bugfix] Disable learner records globally by default
- [Improvement] Upgrade to the latest release of MySQL 5.6
- [Improvement] Non-plugin settings added by "set" directives are now
automatically removed when the plugin is disabled (#241)
- [Improvement] Add CORS basic configuration to LMS for subdomains of
the LMS
- [Feature] Add support for `images build --add-host` option (thanks
@grinderz!)
- [Bugfix] Fix podman compatibility by replacing `docker-compose rm`
command by `docker-compose stop` when stopping containers
- [Improvement] Improve plugin data deletion
- [Improvement] Introduce the `OPENEDX_COMMON_VERSION` setting
- [Bugfix] Make it possible to run init jobs without starting the entire
platform
- [Improvement] Reduce "openedx" Docker image size with static asset
de-duplication
This is done by explicitely listing job dependencies. Unfortunately,
it's not yet possible to move `init` before `start` in `quickstart`,
because some services, such as discovery, depend on the LMS, which takes
a few seconds to boot up. Actually, discovery also depends on ngins, as
it points to "local.overhang.io" when referring to the lms.
- [Bugfix] Upgrade all services to open-release/juniper.3
- [Bugfix] Fix upload of video transcripts to S3
- [Improvement] Memorize whether the user is running a production
platform during interactive configuration
- [Bugfix] Fix incorrect loading of some resources from localhost:18000
in development
- [Bugfix] Fix Samesite=None Secure=False cookie error for users
accessing the LMS with the latest release of Google Chrome
- [Security] Apply javascript security patch ([pull
request](https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/pull/24762))
- [Bugfix] Fix "FileError" on Scorm package upload in Scorm XBlock
- 💥[Improvement] Serve openedx static assets with
[whitenoise](http://whitenoise.evans.io/en/stable/) instead of nginx.
This removes the `k8s-deployments-nginx-init-containers` patch. Plugins
are encouraged to implement static asset serving with Whitenoise as
well.
- [Bugfix] Fix dependency on mysql service when mysql is not activated
- [Improvement] Improve openedx Docker image build time and size with
multi-stage build
- 💥[Feature] Get rid of outdated sysadmin dashboard in LMS at /sysadmin
In the LMS, some resources where loaded from localhost:18000. For
instance: http://localhost:18000/static/images/logo.png
This was due to the fact that the LMS_BASE, LMS_ROOT_URL and thus
SITE_NAME settings are overwritten by the devstack settings, so we need
to define them again in development.
This drastically simplifies volume management, as it is no longer
necessary to manually copy static assets from the docker image to the
bind-mounted volume.
This deprecates the "k8s-deployments-nginx-init-containers" patch, as we
no longer need to init the nginx container. Plugins are encouraged to
start using whitenoise as well for serving static assets.
TODO:
- test media serving: DOES NOT WORK. Whitenoise was designed to serve a
fixed list of static files. Godammit.
- compare performances
This reduces the size of the final image from 3.25Gb to 2.8Gb. Also, it
should be faster to rebuild the image in most cases. For instance, we
will not have to re-install nodejs requirements after part of the
edx-platform repo was modified.
- [Security] Apply edx-platform upstream xss security fixes ([pull
request](https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/pull/24568))
- 💥[Feature] Make it possible to override the docker registry for just
a few services by setting `DOCKER_IMAGE_SERVICENAME` values.
Previously, it was not possible to override the docker registry for just
one or a few services. Setting the DOCKER_REGISTRY configuration
parameter would apply to all images. This was inconvenient. To resolve
this, we include the docker registry value in the DOCKER_IMAGE_*
configuration parameters. This allows users to override the docker
registry individually by defining the DOCKER_IMAGE_SERVICENAME
configuration parameter.
See https://discuss.overhang.io/t/kubernetes-ci-cd-pipeline/765/3
The dashboard is available at /sysadmin. It's a CRUD interface for
managing users and courses.
Enabling this interface required that the DATA_DIR setting was not a
string, but a Path object.
Close #353.
