Régis Behmo ceddc11c29 feat: upgrade to open-release/lilac.master
One of the breaking changes of this release is the removal of the webui and
android features; these are moved to dedicated plugins. This causes a breaking
change: the renaming of the DOCKER_IMAGE_ANDROID
config variable to ANDROID_DOCKER_IMAGE.

=======
Tutor comes with a plugin system that allows anyone to customise the deployment of an Open edX platform very easily. The vision behind this plugin system is that users should not have to fork the Tutor repository to customise their deployments. For instance, if you have created a new application that integrates with Open edX, you should not have to describe how to manually patch the platform settings, ``urls.py`` or ``*.env.json`` files. Instead, you can create a "tutor-myapp" plugin for Tutor. Then, users will start using your application in three simple steps::
# 1) Install the plugin
pip install tutor-myapp
# 2) Enable the plugin
tutor plugins enable myapp
# 3) Reconfigure and restart the platform
tutor local quickstart
For simple changes, it may be extremely easy to create a Tutor plugin: even non-technical users may get started with :ref:`simple yaml plugins <plugins_yaml>`.
In the following we learn how to use and create Tutor plugins.
Commands
--------
List installed plugins::
tutor plugins list
Enable/disable a plugin::
