docker-for-moodle
Easy to use, plug & play, docker and docker compose to run Moodle at once in any available version.
Prerequisites
- Having Docker installed
- Having docker-compose installed
Running for local development
The idea is to have out of the docker image, mounted as volumes, both MOODLEHOME as well as MOODLEDATA, inside the
for-local-development/ directory. The goal is to have it locally to help in development and integration with
new plugins.
To start it at once, simply run:
cd for-local-development
./start_moodle.sh
If it is the first time start_moodle.sh is executed, this will download docker image and Moodle source code.
Then, it will start the a Moodle web server at http://localhost and a PhpMyAdmin manager at http://localhost:8080.
To stop it, just run:
cd for-local-development
./stop_moodle.sh
Whenever you need to make a hard clean (removing images and code) just run:
cd for-local-development
./purge.sh
If you purge it all, then you will download docker images and Moodle code right again (implicitly with the start_moodle.sh script).
Running it at once
TODO: Section to revisit.
Run these commands in a terminal to have a Moodle 3.0+ release up and running:
$ cd
$ git clone git@github.com:jpahullo/docker-for-moodle.git
$ cd docker-for-moodle
$ export MOODLE_VERSION=30 && export MOODLE_URL=http://localhost:8080 && docker-compose up -d
The result should be something like this:
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES

Open the browser and let's go!
(Re)Building the Moodle image
Follow this steps to build a dockerized Moodle 3.0 weekly release. Update the Moodle version to build any other image.
$ cd
$ git clone git@github.com:jpahullo/docker-for-moodle.git
$ cd docker-for-moodle
$ export MOODLE_VERSION=30 && export MOODLE_URL=http://localhost:8080 && docker-compose build
