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.
When I tried running `openedx-assets build` on my `tutor dev lms` machine, I got an error:
```

As suggested in [this topic](https://discuss.overhang.io/t/issue-with-paver-update-assets/641) I had to run `npm install` to get the packages it tries to copy from. That makes sense, so I think it should be part of the instructions here.
Here, we upgrade the Open edX platform from Ironwood to Juniper. This
upgrade does not come with many feature changes, but there are many
technical improvements under the hood:
- Upgrade from Python 2.7 to 3.5
- Upgrade from Mongodb v3.2 to v3.6
- Upgrade Ruby to 2.5.7
We took the opportunity to completely rething the way locally running
platforms should be accessed for testing purposes. It is no longer
possible to access a running platform from http://localhost and
http://studio.localhost. Instead, users should access
http://local.overhang.io and https://studio.local.overhang.io. This
drastically simplifies internal communication between Docker containers.
To upgrade, users should simply run:
tutor local quickstart
For Kubernetes platform, the upgrade process is outlined when running:
tutor k8s upgrade --from=ironwood
There are too many patches on top of ironwood.2, and it's not practical
to pull them all one by one. We still want to build on top of a specific
version, and not a branch, so we use a dirty hack to guarantee that the
docker image is properly rebuilt by CI when we change it.
By de-duplicating the code between dev.py and local.py, we are able to
support more docker-compose run/up/stop options passed from tutor. To do
so, we had to disable some features, such as automatically mounting the
edx-platform repo when the TUTOR_EDX_PLATFORM_PATH environment variable
was defined.
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
Close #235
- More concise table of contents
- New intro
- Simpler make commands
- Fix a couple typos here and there
- Get rid of the default github issue template, and start using the
template created online.
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.
USERID environment variable was no longer passed to docker image in
development mode.
We take the opportunity to improve the documentation regarding the dev
environment.
Close #177.
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.
Close #121.
Close #147.
