moodle-ubuntu

A script that sets up a Moodle development environment in Ubuntu

Disclaimer: This is only meant for use on development and testing environments. Do NOT use this for production environments!

Setup

Download and install Ubuntu Desktop.
- If you're setting up an Ubuntu virtual machine using VirtualBox, follow these instructions.

Open a terminal and install git

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y git

Clone this repository.
```
git clone https://github.com/junpataleta/moodle-ubuntu.git
cd moodle-ubuntu
```
- Note: If you're using VirtualBox, this is a good point to take a snapshot of the machine first, so it would be easier to reset in case you need to reinstall when the setup script gets updated in the future.
Copy config-dist.sh to config.sh and edit the Git-related or MDK-related settings in config.sh.
Run the script
```
./setup.sh
```
Grab some coffee, walk the dog, cook your lunch, do the laundry, or whatever.😛

After the installation, you should have the following:

Apache server
PHP versions supported by the lowest security-supported version of Moodle and the next major Moodle version (main).
- PHP versions supported by currently supported versions:
  - PHP 7.4
  - PHP 8.0
  - PHP 8.1
  - PHP 8.2
  - PHP 8.3 (tentative)
- To switch PHP versions, open a terminal and run ~/apps/switchphp.sh PHPVER where PHPVER is any of the installed PHP version numbers. e.g. to switch to PHP 8.1
```
~/apps/switchphp.sh 8.1
```
PostgreSQL server version supported by your Ubuntu distribution.
- Username: postgres
- Password: moodle
MySQL server version supported by your Ubuntu distribution.
MDK
- Two instances are created by MDK during setup:
  - A moodle.git instance based on the main branch: http://localhost/stable_main
  - An integration.git instance based on the main branch: http://localhost/integration_main
- Default admin password for both instances is test.
- Default database engine is pgsql.
