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.


So I set up an Amazon Machine Image  (AMI) last night. It is PHP 7.3 and Moodle 3.8.1

I went through and set up the Moodle site ie ran the installation and installed Moodle in DB and set admin user and password.

You have to do that to make sure that you have installed all the bits and pieces that you need.

I am not sure if we want to deploy this image like that though. I think we should leave it ready to install as soon as user deploys the image. 

So at that point they would run a command line script or just hit the install page of their site, and enter their Moodle URL , admin user and password and arrive at a totally blank default Moodle site (albeit with a select few plugins installed)

They would then need to get a domain name set up and pointing to their server, run a script on the server to generate an SSL certificate for it and make sure their config file contains that updated info. So whoever uses this image will need to be a server admin of some level. 

The other way would be to make a script that sets them up with a default set of all that, but that they change later. In the server image that I set up that would look like this:

http://ec2-54-199-197-57.ap-northeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com/moodle

At least then they'd be up and running ...

Hi Chikamori San,

Poodll can set up a (free) MAJ Moodle image in the AWS marketplace that user's can then use one-click install to get a running Moodle in just a few minutes. Could the AWS credits be used for cost associated with running that?

We are very fortunate to have such high quality companies interested in working with Moodle in Japan. Its a very good opportunity to get professional help and demonstrations on topics including hosting, content creation, integrations, reporting, plagiarism, and audio/video in Moodle. Please take the opportunity to visit their stands, and presentations. If you wish to arrange a time to meet them or have specific questions in advance of the moot this is also possible.
