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.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Android app (beta)
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
The Android app for your platform can be easily built in just one command::
|
|
|
|
tutor android build debug
|
|
|
|
If all goes well, the debuggable APK for your platform should then be available in ./data/android. To obtain a release APK, you will need to obtain credentials from the app store and add them to ``config/android/gradle.properties``. Then run::
|
|
|
|
tutor android build release
|
|
|
|
Building the Android app for an Open edX platform is currently labeled as a **beta feature** because it was not fully tested yet. In particular, there is no easy mechanism for overriding the edX assets in the mobile app. This is still a work-in-progress.
