This repository contains Docker configuration files to run Moodle 4.5+ with all required dependencies.

• Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system
• Minimum 2GB RAM recommended for Docker

1. Clone this repository
2. Run the following command to start Moodle:

docker-compose up -d

3. Access Moodle at http://localhost:8080

The default setup uses PostgreSQL 14, but you can switch to MySQL 8.4 or MariaDB 10.11 by uncommenting the appropriate section in the docker-compose.yml file.

You can customize your Moodle installation by modifying the environment variables in the docker-compose.yml file:

• MOODLE_DATABASE_TYPE: Database type (pgsql, mysqli)
• MOODLE_DATABASE_HOST: Database hostname
• MOODLE_DATABASE_PORT: Database port
• MOODLE_DATABASE_NAME: Database name
• MOODLE_DATABASE_USER: Database username
• MOODLE_DATABASE_PASSWORD: Database password
• MOODLE_SITE_FULLNAME: Full name of your Moodle site
• MOODLE_SITE_SHORTNAME: Short name of your Moodle site
• MOODLE_ADMIN_USER: Admin username
• MOODLE_ADMIN_PASSWORD: Admin password
• MOODLE_ADMIN_EMAIL: Admin email address

• moodledata: Persistent storage for Moodle data
• postgres_data: Persistent storage for PostgreSQL data (or mysql_data/mariadb_data if using MySQL/MariaDB)

• PHP 8.2+ with all required extensions
• PHP max_input_vars set to 5000
• Sodium extension enabled
• Apache web server with mod_rewrite enabled
• PostgreSQL 14 (default), MySQL 8.4, or MariaDB 10.11 options available

For production deployment, consider:

1. Using a reverse proxy with SSL termination
2. Setting up regular backups for the database and moodledata volume
3. Adjusting PHP and database settings for better performance
4. Setting secure passwords for all services

If you encounter issues:

1. Check Docker logs: docker-compose logs -f
2. Verify database connection settings
3. Ensure proper permissions on the moodledata directory
