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.
- [Improvement] Make it possible to override the project name in development mode
- [Bugfix] Fix user switching in development mode
- [Bugfix] Fix "k8s quickstart" crash
"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.
Close #269.
- [Improvement] Add `k8s-deployments-nginx-volume-mounts` patch
- [Bugfix] Fix running forum locally when both elasticsearch and mongodb
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
Close #235
- [Feature] Introduce tutor docker image
- [Feature] Introduce `local hook` command for plugin development.
- [Bugfix] Persist `private.txt` file between two runs of `config save`.
(#247)
- [Improvement] Added configuration values to limit the number of
gunicorn workers for the LMS and CMS.
- 💥[Improvement] Get rid of mysql-client container
- [Improvement] Add "local-docker-compose-lms/cms-dependencies" plugin
patches
- [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.
Close #242.
