Migrating your current moodle installation to docker

• export your database

• copy your /moodle and /moodledata folders

• run:

    docker-compose up -d moodle_db
  

  and after a while:

    docker-compose up -d
  

Make sure your external files match!

• To run, we need a database export, the /moodle files and /moodledata files. All of them should be from the same moodle instance.

Make sure your configuration matches the image!

• your config.php should have:

    $CFG->dbtype    = 'mysqli';
    $CFG->dblibrary = 'native';
    $CFG->dbhost    = 'moodle_db';
    $CFG->dbname    = '<YOUR_MYSQL_DATABASENAME>';
    $CFG->dbuser    = '<YOUR_MYSQL_USERNAME>';
    $CFG->dbpass    = '<YOUR_MYSQL_PASSWORD>';
    $CFG->prefix    = 'mdl_';
  
    $CFG->dataroot  = '/bitnami/moodledata';
  
    the port is set to 3310
  

Make sure the containers can use their volumes!

• your folder/files should have r/w permissions for the containers
