Task #3410
closedMoodle - GSoD Course migration from LibreItalia to TDF
0%
Description
Hi all,
Since the LibreItalia instance of Moodle is pretty old (3.7.8 build 20200914; 3.9 is out), I think that it could be worthy to migrate the course over TDF infra, also to help with the course tools issue Prashant and Olivier are experiencing.
The present task to coordinate and seek a shared process behind it.
IIRC there's the possibility to export a backup of a single course from the command line and restore it to another instance:
https://docs.moodle.org/39/en/Course_backup
https://docs.moodle.org/39/en/Course_restore
I think this would be a good path, but please advice otherwise :)
Thanks, regards,

Also, an upgrade in place on the LibreItalia infra is not possible, because of an old version of MySQL/MariaDB in the backend.

- Status changed from New to In Progress
- Priority changed from Normal to Low
- Target version changed from Q4/2020 to Qlater
After a quick talk with Olivier (Documentation meeting), it seems the timeline within GSoD is pretty tight; as such, we agreed not to waste precious time with migrations before the GSoD window is expired.
So let's simply freeze the task for the time being, until the GSoD activities are completed.

Time has come to move or copy the contents of LibreItalia Advanced Calc to an TDF instance.

I backed up the course from the web interface, which is available here: https://cloud.libreitalia.org/s/SAGgDw7WKRqNiNZ
I don't have access to the TDF instance and Guilhem is on vacation ATM IIRC, as such I cannot move this more forward than this.
Guilhem Moulin please poke back when you are available to do this; I think this is not urgent, but please state if it is otherwise.

I'm back now :-) Not the right person to assess urgency though: the instance was deployed 2.5 months ago and no one from the doc team has ever tried to log in, and the only provisioned accounts are Sophie's and mine. Started the VM again last week-end and upgraded Moodle to 3.10.0.
Courses can be imported without changing the settings right? Otherwise that deployment effort was just wasted. Either way, next step is same as early October, doc team members need to log in so their account can be provisioned and infra can grant privileges.

Well, more meant to Olivier than you :) But no worries.

Nice.

To my understanding, the backup can be restored by anyone that has the right to publish a course, additionally to the admin (which can always restore a course, even by CLI). So, either way should work.
Let me know :)

Cool, leaving that to Olivier or other doc team members then (pending account provisioning) :-)

Moodle admin rights assigned I hit the following issues:
1) Uploading backup file from https://cloud.libreitalia.org/s/SAGgDw7WKRqNiNZ as in comment#4 I get an incomplete content and messed page.
Hint: Wrong course... Should be "AC" and not "AdvCalc"
2) Doing right backup ("AC") backup from corsi.libreitalia, and uploading in TDF Moodle I get
"Error connecting to the server"
Which does not help very much, with no access to any loging. The file to restore is https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/yDGgRQEfg8gyMXb

I'm certain your browser console has more and says something "Error 413 — body too large". Temporarily raised the limit to something larger than this file.
