Here we add to the docs a few shameless plugs about Cairn -- because
it's really awesome!
We also add a few improvements to the wording, here and there.
GitHub Actions now performs the following tasks:
- run tests on every PR
- sync with git.overhang.io on push
- build binary releases on tags
Travis.CI was completely removed from this repo.
- 💥[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.
- 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.
The "latest" tag is a pain to maintain: it's a tag that we delete and
re-create at every release. Whenever we delete it, the binaries become
unavailable on Github until they are re-generated. Thus, from now on, we
conform to good practices (as examplified by the
github.com/docker/compose) project and distribute only pinned release.
The "nightly" tag remains, for now, as it allows us to distribute beta
features. It may disappear in the future.
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.
