SOLVED Moodle Open Source Learning Platform

[atrilahiji]

@robi

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

[robi]

@atrilahiji is that an ownership or permission issue?

[atrilahiji]

@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.

[robi]

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.

[atrilahiji]

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

[girish]

@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.

[atrilahiji]

@girish thanks

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

[girish]

@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 .

@girish Done. Merge Request is up: https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/moodle-app/-/merge_requests/2

Excited to get this up!

LDAP integration is a key USP of Cloudron so hopefully this'll come soon too!

Especially as Moodle now integrates nicely with Nextcloud 20!

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

[girish]

@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.

[girish]

I have pushed moodle in unstable now and will mark this thread as solved.

Let's take up bugs/issues in a the new Moodle app category - https://forum.cloudron.io/category/102/moodle

Again, thanks a lot @atrilahiji !

[atrilahiji]

@girish oh I didn’t think about that use case. Thanks for all of your hard work! I’ll get on LDAP sometime this weekend and maybe we can get that into a release soon
