On macOS, building the "openedx-dev" Docker image resulted in an image that required more than 600 GB of disk space. This was due to the `adduser` command which was called with a user ID of 2x10⁹ (on macOS only). This resulted in a very large /var/log/faillog file, hence the image size.

On Oct. 10, py2neo package was abruptly removed from pypi, GitHub, and
the py2neo website now displays just a super funny meme: https://py2neo.org/
Yes, we should get rid of that dependency, but we are still supposed to
support existing users. So we install py2neo from our fork.
The LMS was overriding CMS_BASE properly, but Studio (CMS) configuration
was not. That meant that Studio's CMS_BASE in dev mode was using the
devstack default of localhost:18010 (because this is what's defined in
edx-platform). This in turn broke parts of Studio that use this value,
such as the XBlock v2 API (/api/xblock/v2).
This commit derives the value of the CMS_BASE Django setting from
Tutor's CMS_HOST config value, in the same way that the LMS does it.
Pound keys were interpreted as comments. This is annoying when we want
to parse html color codes, such as in:
$ tutor config save --set "INDIGO_PRIMARY_COLOR=#225522"
$ tutor config printvalue INDIGO_PRIMARY_COLOR
null
Close #866.
This is a follow-up fix to #819, where the corresponding change was
added to the mysqld invocation in the "tutor local" (that is,
docker-compose) deployment method, but omitted from its "tutor k8s"
equivalent.
This fix is for a rather serious issue that affects users who upgrade
from Olive to Palm. The client mysql charset and collation was
incorrectly set to utf8mb4, while the server stil runs utf8mb3. Only
users who run the mysql container are affected.
To resolve this issue, we explicitely configure the client to use the
utf8mb3 charset/collation.
Important note: users who have somehow managed to upgrade from olive to
Palm before may find themselves in an undefined state. They might have
to fix their mysql data manually. Same thing for users who launched Palm
from scratch; although, according to my preliinary tests, they should be
able to downgrade their connection from utf8mb4 to utf8mb3 without
issue.
In addition, we upgrade to mysql 8.1.0. Among many other fixes, this
avoids a server restart after the upgrade:
> An in-place upgrade from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0, without a server
> restart, could result in unexpected errors when executing queries on
> tables. This fix eliminates the need to restart the server between the
> upgrade and queries. (Bug #35410528)

`tutor ... do settheme default` is meant to revert to the
default theme. However, in its current implementation, it
creates SiteTheme objects pointing to a theme named "default",
which doesn't exist, resulting in errors like:
Theme dirs:
[Path('/openedx/themes')]]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/openedx/edx-platform/openedx/core/djangoapps/theming/helpers.py", line 204, in get_current_theme
themes_base_dir=get_theme_base_dir(site_theme.theme_dir_name),
File "/openedx/edx-platform/openedx/core/djangoapps/theming/helpers.py", line 242, in get_theme_base_dir
raise ValueError(
ValueError: Theme 'default' not found in any of the following themes dirs,
This works from the perspective of the user, because a missing theme is
treated as the default theme. However, the errors are unneccesary &
confusing.
By simply deleting & not recreating SiteTheme objects instead,
we are able to revert to the default theme while keeping the
logs clear of theming errors.
Manual configuration via the `MOUNTS` setting was inconvenient. We
(re)introduce a new(ish) `tutor mounts` command. Old timers will perhaps
remember that we used to have a `tutor bindmount` command. Well, it's
back! But better and different.
Templated hooks we almost completely useless, so we get rid of them.
This allows us to get rid entirely of hook names and hook indexes, which
makes the whole implementation much simpler. Hook removal (with
`clear_all`) is achieved thanks to weak references.
This is an important change, where we get remove the previous `--mount`
option, and instead opt for persistent bind-mounts.
Persistent bind mounts have several advantages:
- They make it easier to remember which folders need to be bind-mounted.
- Code is *much* less clunky, as we no longer need to generate temporary
docker-compose files.
- They allow us to bind-mount host directories *at build time* using the
buildx `--build-context` option.
- The transition from development to production becomes much easier, as
images will automatically be built using the host repo.
The only drawback is that persistent bind-mounts are slightly less
portable: when a config.yml file is moved to a different folder, many
things will break if the repo is not checked out in the same path.
For instance, this is how to start working on a local fork of
edx-platform:
tutor config save --append MOUNTS=/path/to/edx-platform
And that's all there is to it. No, this fork will be used whenever we
run:
tutor images build openedx
tutor local start
tutor dev start
This change is made possible by huge improvements in the build time
performance. These improvements make it convenient to re-build Docker
images often.

It was useless to create a *-permissions job for every application.
Instead, we create a single "permissions" service. It can be extended
via the "docker-compose-permissions-command" patch.
Instead, the compose plugin must be installed.
We deprecate docker-compose because v1 is not supported starting from
the end of June 2023.
