Environment is no longer generated separately for each target, but only once the configuration is saved. Note that the environment is automatically updated during re-configuration, based on a "version" file stored in the environment.

Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
With Tutor, all Open edX deployment parameters are stored in a single ``config.yml`` file. This is the file that is generated when you run ``tutor local quickstart`` or ``tutor config save``. To view the content of this file, run::
|
|
|
|
cat $(tutor config printroot)/config.yml
|
|
|
|
By default, this file contains only the required configuration parameters for running the platform. Optional configuration parameters may also be specified to modify the default behaviour. To do so, you can edit the ``config.yml`` file manually::
|
|
|
|
vim $(tutor config printroot)/config.yml
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can set each parameter from the command line::
|
|
|
|
tutor config save --silent --set PARAM1=VALUE1 --set PARAM2=VALUE2
|
|
|
|
Once the base configuration is created or updated, the environment is automatically re-generated. The environment is the set of all files required to manage an Open edX platform: Dockerfile, ``lms.env.json``, settings files... You can view the environment files in the ``env`` folder::
|
|
|
|
ls $(tutor config printroot)/env
|
|
|
|
.. _docker_images:
|
|
|
|
``DOCKER_IMAGE_*`` Custom Docker images
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
These configuration parameters define which image to run for each service.
|
|
|
|
- ``DOCKER_IMAGE_OPENEDX`` (default: ``regis/openedx:hawthorn``)
|
|
- ``DOCKER_IMAGE_ANDROID`` (default: ``regis/openedx-android:hawthorn``)
|
|
- ``DOCKER_IMAGE_FORUM`` (default: ``regis/openedx-forum:hawthorn``)
|
|
- ``DOCKER_IMAGE_NOTES`` (default: ``regis/openedx-notes:hawthorn``)
|
|
- ``DOCKER_IMAGE_XQUEUE`` (default: ``regis/openedx-xqueue:hawthorn``)
|
|
|
|
``ACTIVATE_*`` Optional features
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Some optional features may be activated or deactivated during the interactive configuration step. These features change configuration files (during the ``configure`` step) as well as make targets.
|
|
|
|
``ACTIVATE_HTTPS`` SSL/TLS certificates for HTTPS access
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
By activating this feature, a free SSL/TLS certificate from the `Let's Encrypt <https://letsencrypt.org/>`_ certificate authority will be created for your platform. With this feature, **your platform will no longer be accessible in HTTP**. Calls to http urls will be redirected to https url.
|
|
|
|
The following DNS records must exist and point to your server::
|
|
|
|
LMS_HOST (e.g: myopenedx.com)
|
|
preview.LMS_HOST (e.g: preview.myopenedx.com)
|
|
CMS_HOST (e.g: studio.myopenedx.com)
|
|
|
|
Thus, **this feature will (probably) not work in development** because the DNS records will (probably) not point to your development machine.
|
|
|
|
To create the certificate manually, run::
|
|
|
|
tutor local https create
|
|
|
|
To renew the certificate, run this command once per month::
|
|
|
|
tutor local https renew
|
|
|
|
``ACTIVATE_NOTES`` Student notes
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
With `notes <https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/open-edx-building-and-running-a-course/en/open-release-hawthorn.master/exercises_tools/notes.html?highlight=notes>`_, students can annotate portions of the courseware.

|
|
:alt: Notes in action
|
|
|
|
You should beware that the ``notes.<LMS_HOST>`` domain name should be activated and point to your server. For instance, if your LMS is hosted at http://myopenedx.com, the notes service should be found at http://notes.myopenedx.com.
|
|
|
|
``ACTIVATE_XQUEUE`` Xqueue
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
`Xqueue <https://github.com/edx/xqueue>`_ is for grading problems with external services. If you don't know what it is, you probably don't need it.
