Open edX Step-By-Step Production Installation Guide

[Lawrence McDaniel]

To all, 

I've created a step-by-step fully automated script and detailed documentation to stand up a single-server full-stack production-ready instance of Open edX release Ginkgo.1 running on an Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud -- aka virtual server) R3.Large instance (aka 2-cpu server with 16gb RAM and configurable hard drive space). The script installs the following Open edX modules:

1. Learning Management System (LMS)
2. Course Management System (CMS)
3. Insights Analytics module and api
4. Certification Module (To generate digital course completion certificates)
5. Course Discovery (To provide a comprehensive course search engine capability to learners)
6. Ecommerce Server (for paid courses)
7. Discussion Forum
8. XQueue and RabbitMQ (to enable asynchronous multi-tasking such as automatic computer source code graders)

* The Open edX platform leverages a plethora of technologies, and this tends to be a formidable stumbling block for all of us, initially at least. For what it's worth, I know a lot about a few of Open edX's technologies, and almost nothing about everything else. Unlike the official documentation, this repository attempts to assume as little as possible. Hopefully it helps you get your project off the ground!

Many thanks for your Amazon guide. It seem the install.sh is the same as the Ubuntu 16.04 native guide.

I run that commands and got error in:

TASK[insights: install bower dependencies]

TASK[insights: run collectstatic]

How do you get past those tasks without errors?

Thanks

Oliver

those you sent are not errors.

would you please send the red part of script output which stops the process?

I wonder why it has to be on EC2, I am trying on GCP and the script doesn't work.

Is there a documentation where you can install each component yourself ?

Hi,

In order for others to help, you should send us at least some error logs. You couldn't install on GCP doesn't mean the script is bad. There must be some settings you need to change to adopt the script to your platform. And also, you should also refer to the official Open edX installation instructions to compare:

https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OpenOPS/pages/146440579/Native+Open+edX+Ubuntu+16.04+64+bit+Installation

The above documentation was tested and tried by many professionals and it works. The script by Lawrence McDaniel is a custom one he just contributed to the community and need to be refined.

Cheers,
