    As usual I'd recommend not using Moodle as a video hosting platform. Perhaps use Nextcloud to host videos and embed them?

    I'd hope to connect to (forthcoming Cloudron-powered) BBB for live videosessions.

    For hosted recorded video I guess either in Nextcloud or Peertube, or just YouTube?

    @jdaviescoates All of those work. I just find that large files uploaded to courses slow them down a bunch and increase load times for the course home page. Also backup and restore processes fail more often on large courses.

      Oh I should ask, is there a preference between MySQL vs Postgres? I can switch it since we are still marked as unstable for Moodle.

        Good to know. So generally best to only upload large files somewhere else and then link to them. Noted.

          @atrilahiji We can stick to MySQL for now since LAMP stacks are so popular and people will find it easier to migrate from existing systems (unless, of course the upstream recommends otherwise).

            Moodle defaults to Postgres for new installations so it may be easier for people migrating to Cloudron. Thats all I was thinking.

              Sounds like we should go with Postgres too, especially if it'll likely make it easier for people to migrate their existing Moodle installations to Cloudron 🙂

                That's a good reason to switch it then. https://docs.moodle.org/39/en/Installation_quick_guide shows install using MySQL but https://docs.moodle.org/39/en/PostgreSQL does say it is fully supported.

                  @atrilahiji Found it! https://docs.moodle.org/39/en/Installing_Moodle#Create_an_empty_database says postgres is recommended. We can change it then.

                      @atrilahiji I made a new release. LDAP is also working now.

                      I guess we just need tests now, I can do that if you want to work on something else. Thanks again!

                        @girish Weird... I only see my LDAP changes in there. Did I actually nail it and didn't notice or did you fix something? Not that it really matters. I'm just curious :^)

                        Whoops I had the full URL and the port. Double ports. Thanks @girish !

                        Edit: Also here are some resources for tests

                        https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Running_acceptance_test
