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.

- [Improvement] Automatically pull Docker image cache from the remote registry. Again, this will considerably improve image build-time, particularly in "cold-start" scenarios, where the images need to be built from scratch. The registry cache can be disabled with the
tutor images build --no-registry-cacheoption. (by @regisb) - [Feature] Automatically mount host folders at build time. This is a really important feature, as it allows us to transparently build images using local forks of remote repositories. (by @regisb)
- 💥[Deprecation] Remove the various
--mountoptions. These options are replaced by persistent mounts. (by @regisb)
