⁠moodle-docker-production: Docker Containers for Moodle

This repository contains Docker configuration aimed to provide a good starting point to install moodle in production using docker.

In Catedu we need to deploy several hundreds of Moodle. This repo aims to give us a solution to test locally our developments and to generate our docker images. Our final solution is being implemented in moodle-docker-deploy repo⁠.

⁠Features

• Database servers: MySQL / MariaDB /PostGreSQL (MySQL in this repo)
• Last supported PHP version
• Zero-configuration approach
• All php-extensions (thanks to moodlehq⁠)

⁠Missing Features

These features are out of the scope of this repo (you may have a look at moodle-docker-deploy repo⁠):

• Crontab configuration
• Auto backup

⁠Prerequisites

• Docker⁠ and Docker Compose⁠ installed

⁠Quick start

cp env-sample .env
docker-compose up -d

Open browser webpage: http://localhost⁠ (be patient)

⁠Configuration

• Configure your moodle installation using an .env file

• We have two environments: production (https ready with letsencrypt) and development (default).

• Plugins or special configuration is done using shell scripts or php files. The moodle container executes them from init-scripts directory. We provide an example script (plugins-sampe.sh) file, and moodle image has moosh binary⁠.

⁠Activate https

• Using letsEncrypt⁠, activating production environment:

  cp docker-compose.override_prod.yml docker-compose.override.yml
  docker-compose up -d
  

  Copy

• Modify .env file

  MOODLE_URL=https://localhost
  SSL_PROXY=true
  

  Copy
