See the discussion here: https://github.com/overhangio/tutor/pull/984
And the upstream PR here: https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/pull/34210
The tl;dr is that the Redis course structure cache was growing without
bounds. While the upstream fix should resolve that issue, we decided
that Tutor should have a maxmemory limit and an eviction policy set for
operational safety.
Thus, Redis now has a 4gb maxmemory. If you need more memory on your
instance, you should implement the "redis-conf" patch.
To manually expire existing keys, run:
tutor local run cms ./manage.py cms shell -c "from django.core.cache import caches; c = caches['course_structure_cache']; [c.expire(key, 604800) for key in c.keys('*')]"
Environment was not updated correctly on `tutor plugins enable ...`
because of a caching issue. To bypass this issue, we improve the caching
mechanism and introduce a new `lru_cache` decorator.
Close #989.
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.
