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.

Running Tutor on ARM-based systems
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
Tutor can be used on ARM64 systems, although no official ARM64 docker images are available. If you want to get started quickly, there is `an unofficial community-maintained ARM64 plugin <https://github.com/open-craft/tutor-contrib-arm64>`_ which will set the required settings for you and which includes unofficial docker images. If you prefer not to use an unofficial plugin, you can follow this tutorial.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: There are generally two ways to run Tutor on an ARM system - using emulation (via qemu or Rosetta 2) to run x86_64 images or running native ARM images. Since emulation can be noticeably slower (typically 20-100% slower depending on the emulation method), this tutorial aims to use native images where possible.
|
|
|
|
Building the images
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Although there are no official ARM64 images, Tutor makes it easy to build the images yourself.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
.. TODO we don't want this instruction anymore
|
|
|
|
If you want to use Tutor as an Open edX development environment, you should also build the development images::
|
|
tutor dev dc build lms
|
|
|
|
From this point on, use Tutor as normal. For example, start Open edX and run migrations with::
|
|
|
|
tutor local launch
|
|
|
|
Or for a development environment::
|
|
|
|
tutor dev launch
|
