Moodle 4.1

[nikoma]

Hi! What an amazing template. Unfortunately it is only working for 3.9. How can we use this to deploy 4.1?

This would require a bit of re-work as we would need to update the PHP version to 8.x and probably move to Ubuntu 22.04.

Template is now useless, as it depends on repositories that are not longer supporting outdated ubuntu (18.04)and php (7.4). Provisining of instances will fail.

I have the same problem. I was about to deploy this template/stack, but since it's not using Moodle 4.x it's pointless.

I've updated the template to use 20.04 instead of 18.04 here 5ad4cd834b762fabbb5d0ecfec94e8f95f46d1da , also 3.9 is still in security support according to this link : https://download.moodle.org/releases/security/. That being said we are working on updating the entire tech stack.

Thank you for the improvements @naioja. For us, Moodle 4.x is a requirement at the moment, that's why we can't use this ARM At the moment to build this new env we need.

@VFXpro , @MarekSuwart , @nikoma I've published a branch on my fork of Moodle that should be now stable enough to test version 4 : https://github.com/naioja/Moodle/tree/aj_moodle4. If you have the time please have a look and let me know your feedback, especially around the deployments using glusterfs help would be amazing. For now I've been testing the Small Size setup and that is deployable.

Thanks @naioja for updating the image. Based on our highly load perf testing (20,000 concurrent users in 10 min) GlusterFS was much slower than NFS, so we stay away from it. Will try to install it soon...

Mmmmh any updates on this and how do I go about deploying this? Do I just press deploy or I need a bit more leg work before i do...

I see that the "_artifacts Location" remains the same is that supposed to happen or not?

Thanks @Abel-Moremi We can't use glusterfs anymore after thoroughly load testing it with 10,000 concurrent users... it was MUCH slower than a shared NFS storage.

@VFXpro and @naioja Thank you
