NEW: Run Olive today! The latest release of Open edX is out, and with Tutor it's easier than ever to try it out and to upgrade from previous versions.

Tutor is an Open edX distribution designed for simplicity and ease of maintenance: we took the original, unmodified Open edX code and packaged it in a way that makes it extremely easy to install, customise and upgrade. With Tutor, all Open edX components are created in Docker containers: that means that Open edX becomes cleanly separated from the rest of the server. With Tutor, Open edX uses minimal server resource, is simple to understand and has low maintenance costs.

Tutor is open source: you can study the code and run it on your own servers, for instance for local development: https://github.com/overhangio/tutor

After launching this image, you will have access to a web user interface on port 3737. Sign in with user "tutor" and password equal to the instance ID ("i-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"). The password can be changed by running:

webui configure

Then, you can configure and launch your Open edX platform with:

local quickstart

In the future, if you would like to run your own server and move your platform, you will just have to move the "/home/tutor/.local/share/tutor" folder to your new server.
