Running Tutor on ARM-based systems
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
Tutor can be used on ARM64 systems, although support for that platform is currently experimental.
|
|
|
|
There are generally two ways to run Tutor on an ARM system - using qemu to run x86_64 images using emulation or running native ARM images. Since emulation can be quite slow, this Tutorial will focus on using native images where possible.
|
|
|
|
There are currently no official ARM64 images provided for Tutor, but Tutor makes it easy to build them yourself.
|
|
|
|
Building the images
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Start by :ref:`installing <install>` Tutor and its dependencies (e.g. Docker) onto your system.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: For Open edX developers, if you want to use the :ref:`nightly <nightly>` version of Tutor to "run master", install Tutor using git and check out the ``nightly`` branch of Tutor at this point. See the :ref:`nightly documentation <nightly>` for details.
|
|
|
|
Next, configure Tutor::
|
|
|
|
tutor config save --interactive
|
|
|
|
Go through the configuration process, answering each question.
|
|
|
|
Then, build the "openedx" and "permissions" images::
|
|
|
|
tutor images build openedx permissions
|
|
|
|
If you want to use Tutor as an Open edX development environment, you should also build the development images::
|
|
|
|
tutor dev dc build lms
|
|
|
|
Change the database server
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
The version of MySQL that Open edX uses by default does not support the ARM architecture. Our current recommendation is to use MariaDB instead, which should be largely compatible.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
Note that using MariaDB is experimental and incompatibilities may exist, so this should only be used for local development - not for production instances.
|
|
|
|
Configure Tutor to use MariaDB::
|
|
|
|
tutor config save --set DOCKER_IMAGE_MYSQL=mariadb:10.4
|
|
|
|
Finish setup and start Tutor
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
From this point on, use Tutor as normal. For example, start Open edX and run migrations with::
|
|
|
|
tutor local start -d
|
|
tutor local do init
|
|
|
|
Or for a development environment::
|
|
|
|
tutor dev start -d
|
|
tutor dev do init
|
