Moodle Docker

Moodle Docker setup based on bitnami setup

Tested on WSL 2 setup with docker (docker-compose running on WSL with linux containers)

winver.exe 2004
Docker version 19.03.8, build afacb8b7f0

Don't use on production without proper security changes only on development.

Main sites if any problems

Description

First change all passwords in docker-compose file (it is 'xxxx' -> to any password)

Create directory for mariadb mkdir mariadb-data && sudo chmod o+w mariadb-data

Make sure your account is owner NOT root! If not run

sudo chown -R user:user {directory}

Starting containers

docker-compose up

Adminer

Adminer is accesible on port 8080

Data to login by default is

Server : moodledocker_mariadb_1
user: bn_moodle
password: zaq12wsx

To check on what mariadb ip is you have to run commands when containers are running

docker network ls 

Find network with proper name (eg. moodle_docker_default in bridge mode),

Next with network name or it's id (you can only write first 2 letters if unique)

docker network inspect moodledocker_default

And look for data where name is like moodledocker_mariadb_1

   "adb05a318dc30560f79548bb93aff7f850719c3ec4cc7fba5a400eb1e5f12642": {
                "Name": "moodledocker_mariadb_1",
                "EndpointID": "24f324a2e97fa4654753737a87c3f9d9b70821740cb51671dcb67dcf4310c293",
                "MacAddress": "02:42:ac:15:00:03",
                "IPv4Address": "172.21.0.3/16",
                "IPv6Address": ""
            }

Now with that data you can login with "Name" or "IPv4Address"

MariaDB

MariaDB is on port 3306

Moodle platform

Moodle is on port 80 and you can access it by typing localhost:80 or simply localhost.

Clean up

To clean up and be able to start fresh run where docker-compose is Removes all not used containers, cleans up all unused volumes and removes mdl-data folder with moodle data.

docker container prune && docker volume prune && sudo rm -rf mdl-data

How to move data between hosts in WSL

Neccessary!!! Have on both WSL instances same user (with the same username; not tested otherwise).

Then in parent directory of git clone (where you have mdl-data, mariadb-data and docker-compose.yml).

Run command

sudo tar -pcvzf mdl.tar.gz MoodleDocker/

• p == preserve permissions
• c == create archive
• v == verbose (print name of files)
• z == gzip (to save some space other ~80Mb instead of 500Mb)
• f == tar file name (in this case mdl.tar.gz) Then move file to another machine in any way you want.

Now you can restore whole directory with command

sudo tar -pxvzf mdl.tar.gz MoodleDocker/

Sudo is needed to restore proper permissions on every directory and file (that's why you should do it on same user)
