The MAJ Moodle 3.8.1 AMI image is ready.

What is that?

It means you can set up a Moodle server (EC2) in your own Amazon AWS account, by cloning off a ready made image.

Thats good because Chikamori san said earlier in this thread that AWS is prepared to give AWS credits to schools dealing with the shutdown from covid-19. And it will also fit on the smaller servers of the AWS free tier (though you might want to use a more powerful server ). You have access to the free tier when you first sign up for AWS.

Its also good because you do not need to install node or php or mysql or Moodle. Thats all done for you. Moodle was installed with git so you will be able to update Moodle via Git as new versions come up. It contains only one plugin, adminer, which is a tool for administering the Moodle database. But you can install from the Moodle plugins directory as normal.

This is a video walkthrough of getting set up with the image


And the PDF of the slides used in that video are attached.
