⁠Running

Start a database (MySQL/PostgreSQL) and link it to any of the PHP Moodle containers. For Oracle use the provided Oracle container with the PHP5.4 + Oracle Client.

• make sure to connect port 80 to a local port with -p 8080:80
• to pull the latest Moodle from git add -e INSTALL=true
• run docker exec my-moodle pullMoodle.sh once the server has started to wipe the docroot and pull the latest Moodle
• consider linking the docroot to a local folder using -v \local\folder:\var\www\html
• change the Oracle DB password using docker exec a-oracle ./setPassword.sh password
• SSH into any of the machines using docker exec -it my-moodle /bin/bash
