Mounting Process of Tutor Dev Nutmeg

1. Execute QuickStart Command

Before starting the mounting process we have to execute the quickstart command to set up a development environment for Open edX using Tutor. It will create a new directory for your project, download the necessary Docker images, and start the Open edX platform.

2. Copy Container Files

In order to mount the files from the local to the container, it is necessary to copy the files of the container into the local system. The following command can be helpful to copy the container’s files:

For example, the following command will copy the /openedx/edx-platform directory from the lms container to the /home/codetrade/edx/tutor_nutmeg/tutor/edx-platform directory on the local machine:

3. Mount the edX-Platform Directory

Execute the given command to mount the edX-platform directory from your local machine into the LMS container when you run the tutor dev quickstart command.

For explicit we need to write the below command:

For example, the following command will copy the /openedx/edx-platform directory from the lms container to the /home/codetrade/edx/tutor_nutmeg/tutor/orders directory on the local machine. It will be mounted into the /openedx/app directory in the LMS container.

4. Save Changes & Check YML File

After mounting the edx-platform directory from your local machine into the LMS container, you can check the changes in the docker-compose.tmp.yml file.

This file is created by Tutor when you run the Tutor dev quickstart command. It contains the updated configuration for the LMS container, including the mounted directory.

To save all these changes permanently, create a new file “docker-compose.override.yml” from the terminal :

Save those exact services of docker-compose.tmp.yml in this new file.

After saving the file, you can stop the running containers with the "tutor dev stop" command and then start them again in detached mode with the "tutor dev start -d" command.

5. Start and Stop Tutor Services

The tutor dev stop command stops all the containers that were started by the "tutor dev quickstart" command.

The "tutor dev start -d" command starts all the containers in detached mode, which means that they will run in the background and you will not see any output from them.

To stop and start the containers, you can run the following commands:

These processes run for all containers for mounting like ecommerce, discovery, payment, orders, accounts, and other plugins containers.
