- 💥[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:
```

mkdir_p path('common/static/common/js/vendor')

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.
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
