    @atrilahiji Yes, it will help if you can remove all the non-essential code from the app. I think because you started from the LAMP stack, there's lots of extra stuff:

    • Can remove the RPAF thing - https://git.cloudron.io/AtriLahiji/moodle/-/blob/master/Dockerfile#L34 (the whole section can be removed till line 44)
    • Remove phpMyAdmin (like 46-49)
    • Remove cron (line 51-54)
    • Remove iconcube (line 56-64)
    • You can even remove supervisor altogether and just straight run apache

    Same goes for start.sh.

    • Remove cron/phpmyadmin/credentials stuff. Line 16-57

    You can look at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/directus-app for inspiration. Let us know if you need help!

    @girish For sure, I can get that sorted. Moodle makes use of cron tasks so I may need to leave that bit in.

    @jdaviescoates I can take a look at it next.

      @atrilahiji For cron, use the scheduler addon. Like this https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/snipeit-app/-/blob/master/CloudronManifest.json#L12 . This way you don't need all the supervisor stuff and also dont need to run a separate cron process in the app itself.

        @girish Cool thanks! I think I have it working mostly. Trying to sort out an ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS situation.

        EDIT: I pushed what I have since I have to go out

          @atrilahiji Awesome, thanks. I have forked into https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/moodle-app and pushed some more fixes. You should have gotten an invite to the repo. I see the redirect issue that you are seeing as well.

            @girish Thanks a lot! I have never actually handled Moodle hosting it so the Apache setup is definitely new to me. I'm glad you guys and the community have more experience otherwise I'd be completely lost :')

              Moodle needs to write a config.php file inside /app/code and a moodledata directory during its install. Looks like its getting tripped up on that.

                You can symlink the file to /app/data so it can.

                  I seem to get this no matter what I do. Trying to write moodledata to /app/data but it says it doesn't exist?

                    @atrilahiji is that an ownership or permission issue?

                      @robi could be. I’ll take another look at it in a bit.

                      EDIT: This will be the death of me -_-

                      There must be something I am missing. That or I just suck at Linux.

                        you should see more something like this from WP:

                        lrwxrwxrwx 1 www-data www-data   23 Sep 13 16:42 wp-config.php -> /app/data/wp-config.php
                        

                        To do this you can do:
                        from /app/code

                        mv config.php /app/data/moodledata
                        

                        then

                        ln -s /app/data/moodledata/config.php /app/code/config.php

                          Fixed the read only issues. We're back to good ol' ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS issue. I imagine its an http -> https -> http -> ... issue. Whatever it is its definitely at the reverse proxy level.

                          Anyways @girish I have a MR when you have time.

                            @girish This ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS issue has me stumped. Tried a few things tonight with no luck. Any ideas?

                              @atrilahiji Merged your MR and fixed the redirect issue as well.

                              Do you use or need LDAP in your setup? If not, we can leave LDAP integration for some future release. SMTP still needs to be automated though.

                                Yeah LDAP can be a later release. I’ll get SMTP figured out though

                                  @atrilahiji What you can do is basically setup SMTP and then look into the database entries. https://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Email_settings gives some hints on how to update it. So, we can just put some sql commands in the start.sh .

                                        @jdaviescoates I’ll see what I can figure out. Perhaps it’s done the same way I added SMTP.

                                          @atrilahiji Merged! Awesome stuff, didn't know about cfg.php. I made a change after merging your change which is to setup credentials on all startup and not just the first time. We do this because let's say you clone the app or move it to another server etc, then the SMTP credentials will change.
