Moodle Docker image
This is a somewhat opinionated Docker image for running Moodle, currently used by VATSIM. It is based on the official PHP+Apache image and includes the following:
- Moodle and its required PHP extensions
- atto_morefontcolors plugin
- mod_customcert plugin
- tool_forcedcache plugin
Usage
MySQL/MariaDB and Redis are required to run this image. You'll also need to configure some way of running Moodle's cron job, such as a cron container or a Kubernetes CronJob.
