⁠Version/TAG:

• 3.7 (3.7_STABLE 3.7.8 build 20201002)
• 3.8 (3.8_STABLE 3.8.5+ build 20201002)
• 3.9 (3.9_STABLE 3.9.2+ build 20201002)

⁠Features

• All configurations can be added from environment variables to config.php
• Moodle security recommendations for apache and php
• Check/move admin directory
• Timezone and Language setting from enviroment
• Proxy support and URL setting from enviroment

⁠Config values

All environment variables starting MOODLE_ will be transformed to $CFG and added automatically to the config.php file. Double _ separates array. Example:

⁠Check/move admin directory

If you define MOODLE_admin ($CFG->admin) rename admin directory to MOODLE_admin

In certain circumstances you will want to move the management directory (/admin) to another location (for security or compatibility reasons) For this you only have to define the environment variable MOODLE_admin with the name with which you want it to be renaming the directory "admin"

⁠URL

The VIRTUAL_HOST and VIRTUAL_PORT variables are used with double functionality.

On the one hand they can be used for the docker with reverse proxy, but they are also used to generate the variable MOODLE_wwwroot ($CFG->wwwroot) together with the environment variable VIRTUAL_URL

MOODLE_wwwroot = $proto://$VIRTUAL_HOST:$VIRTUAL_PORT$VIRTUAL_URL

If the variable MOODLE_sslproxy is defined, $proto is https, else http In this way, you can use VIRTUAL_URL to publish moodle in any URL, something very useful when you are behind a reverse proxy
