## TL;DR

```console
$ helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
$ helm install my-release bitnami/moodle
```

## Introduction

This chart bootstraps a [Moodle<sup>TM</sup>](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-moodle) deployment on a [Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io) cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager.

It also packages the [Bitnami MariaDB chart](https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/tree/master/bitnami/mariadb) which is required for bootstrapping a MariaDB deployment for the database requirements of the Moodle<sup>TM</sup> application.

Bitnami charts can be used with [Kubeapps](https://kubeapps.com/) for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters. This chart has been tested to work with NGINX Ingress, cert-manager, fluentd and Prometheus on top of the [BKPR](https://kubeprod.io/).

## Prerequisites

- Kubernetes 1.12+
- Helm 3.1.0
- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure
- ReadWriteMany volumes for deployment scaling

## Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:

```console
$ helm install my-release bitnami/moodle
```

The command deploys Moodle<sup>TM</sup> on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [Parameters](#parameters) section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

> **Tip**: List all releases using `helm list`

## Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the `my-release` deployment:

```console
$ helm delete my-release
```

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

## Parameters

The following table lists the configurable parameters of the Moodle<sup>TM</sup> chart and their default values per section/component:

The above parameters map to the env variables defined in [bitnami/moodle](http://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-moodle). For more information please refer to the [bitnami/moodle](http://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-moodle) image documentation.

Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`. For example,

```console
$ helm install my-release \
  --set moodleUsername=admin,moodlePassword=password,mariadb.auth.rootPassword=secretpassword \
    bitnami/moodle
```

The above command sets the Moodle<sup>TM</sup> administrator account username and password to `admin` and `password` respectively. Additionally, it sets the MariaDB `root` user password to `secretpassword`.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

```console
$ helm install my-release -f values.yaml bitnami/moodle
```

> **Tip**: You can use the default [values.yaml](values.yaml)

## Configuration and installation details

### [Rolling VS Immutable tags](https://docs.bitnami.com/containers/how-to/understand-rolling-tags-containers/)

It is strongly recommended to use immutable tags in a production environment. This ensures your deployment does not change automatically if the same tag is updated with a different image.

Bitnami will release a new chart updating its containers if a new version of the main container, significant changes, or critical vulnerabilities exist.

### Ingress without TLS

For using ingress (example without TLS):

```console
ingress.enabled=True
ingress.hosts[0]=moodle.domain.com
serviceType=ClusterIP
moodleUsername=admin
moodlePassword=password
mariadb.mariadbRootPassword=secretpassword
```

These are the *3 mandatory parameters* when *Ingress* is desired: `ingress.enabled=True`, `ingress.hosts[0]=moodle.domain.com` and `serviceType=ClusterIP`

### Ingress TLS

If your cluster allows automatic creation/retrieval of TLS certificates (e.g. [kube-lego](https://github.com/jetstack/kube-lego)), please refer to the documentation for that mechanism.

To manually configure TLS, first create/retrieve a key & certificate pair for the address(es) you wish to protect. Then create a TLS secret (named `moodle-server-tls` in this example) in the namespace. Include the secret's name, along with the desired hostnames, in the Ingress TLS section of your custom `values.yaml` file:

```yaml
ingress:
  ## If true, Moodle(TM) server Ingress will be created
  ##
  enabled: true

  ## Moodle(TM) server Ingress annotations
  ##
  annotations: {}
  #   kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
  #   kubernetes.io/tls-acme: 'true'

  ## Moodle server Ingress hostnames
  ## Must be provided if Ingress is enabled
  ##
  hosts:
    - moodle.domain.com

  ## Moodle(TM) server Ingress TLS configuration
  ## Secrets must be manually created in the namespace
  ##
  tls:
    - secretName: moodle-server-tls
      hosts:
        - moodle.domain.com
```

## Persistence

The [Bitnami Container Image for Moodle<sup>TM</sup>](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-moodle) stores the Moodle<sup>TM</sup> data and configurations at the `/bitnami/moodle` and `/bitnami/apache` paths of the container.

Persistent Volume Claims are used to keep the data across deployments. This is known to work in GCE, AWS, vpshere, and minikube.
See the [Parameters](#parameters) section to configure the PVC or to disable persistence.
You may want to review the [PV reclaim policy](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/change-pv-reclaim-policy/) and update as required. By default, it's set to delete, and when Moodle<sup>TM</sup> is uninstalled, data is also removed.

## Upgrading

### To 11.0.0

This version standardizes the way of defining Ingress rules. When configuring a single hostname for the Ingress rule, set the `ingress.hostname` value. When defining more than one, set the `ingress.extraHosts` array. Apart from this case, no issues are expected to appear when upgrading.

### To 10.0.0

[On November 13, 2020, Helm v2 support was formally finished](https://github.com/helm/charts#status-of-the-project), this major version is the result of the required changes applied to the Helm Chart to be able to incorporate the different features added in Helm v3 and to be consistent with the Helm project itself regarding the Helm v2 EOL.

**What changes were introduced in this major version?**

- Previous versions of this Helm Chart use `apiVersion: v1` (installable by both Helm 2 and 3), this Helm Chart was updated to `apiVersion: v2` (installable by Helm 3 only). [Here](https://helm.sh/docs/topics/charts/#the-apiversion-field) you can find more information about the `apiVersion` field.
- Move dependency information from the *requirements.yaml* to the *Chart.yaml*
- After running `helm dependency update`, a *Chart.lock* file is generated containing the same structure used in the previous *requirements.lock*
- The different fields present in the *Chart.yaml* file has been ordered alphabetically in a homogeneous way for all the Bitnami Helm Charts

**Considerations when upgrading to this version**

- If you want to upgrade to this version from a previous one installed with Helm v3, you shouldn't face any issues
- If you want to upgrade to this version using Helm v2, this scenario is not supported as this version doesn't support Helm v2 anymore
- If you installed the previous version with Helm v2 and wants to upgrade to this version with Helm v3, please refer to the [official Helm documentation](https://helm.sh/docs/topics/v2_v3_migration/#migration-use-cases) about migrating from Helm v2 to v3

### To 9.0.0

MariaDB dependency version was bumped to a new major version that introduces several incompatilibites. Therefore, backwards compatibility is not guaranteed unless an external database is used. Check [MariaDB Upgrading Notes](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/master/bitnami/mariadb#to-800) for more information.

To upgrade to `9.0.0`, it should be done reusing the PVCs used to hold both the MariaDB and Moodle<sup>TM</sup> data on your previous release. To do so, follow the instructions below (the following example assumes that the release name is `moodle`):

> NOTE: Please, create a backup of your database before running any of those actions. The steps below would be only valid if your application (e.g. any plugins or custom code) is compatible with MariaDB 10.5.x

Obtain the credentials and the names of the PVCs used to hold both the MariaDB and Moodle<sup>TM</sup> data on your current release:

```console
export MOODLE_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret --namespace default moodle -o jsonpath="{.data.moodle-password}" | base64 --decode)
export MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret --namespace default moodle-mariadb -o jsonpath="{.data.mariadb-root-password}" | base64 --decode)
export MARIADB_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret --namespace default moodle-mariadb -o jsonpath="{.data.mariadb-password}" | base64 --decode)
export MARIADB_PVC=$(kubectl get pvc -l app=mariadb,component=master,release=moodle -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
```

Upgrade your release (maintaining the version) disabling MariaDB and scaling Moodle<sup>TM</sup> replicas to 0:

```console
$ helm upgrade moodle bitnami/moodle --set moodlePassword=$MOODLE_PASSWORD --set replicaCount=0 --set mariadb.enabled=false --version 8.1.6
```

Finally, upgrade you release to 9.0.0 reusing the existing PVC, and enabling back MariaDB:

```console
$ helm upgrade moodle bitnami/moodle --set mariadb.primary.persistence.existingClaim=$MARIADB_PVC --set mariadb.auth.rootPassword=$MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD --set mariadb.auth.password=$MARIADB_PASSWORD --set moodlePassword=$MOODLE_PASSWORD
```

You should see the lines below in MariaDB container logs:

```console
$ kubectl logs $(kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=moodle,app.kubernetes.io/name=mariadb,app.kubernetes.io/component=primary -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
...
mariadb 12:13:24.98 INFO  ==> Using persisted data
mariadb 12:13:25.01 INFO  ==> Running mysql_upgrade
...
```

### To 8.0.0

The [Bitnami Container Image for Moodle<sup>TM</sup>](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-moodle) was updated to support "non-root" user approach, however, **it is not enabled by default**. The container still runs as the `root` user and the Apache daemon is started as the `daemon` user, due to running Cron as a service, which requires running as root.

If you want to run with a non-root user, you need to set `podSecurityContext.enabled=true` and `containerSecurity.context.enabled=true`. In addition to that, you will also need to change the default Apache HTTP ports to run as a non-privileged user by setting `containerPorts.http` and `containerPorts.https` to a non-privileged port number (higher than 1024, i.e. 8080 and 8443, respectively). Note that, when running as a non-root user, Cron will not supported and therefore scheduled tasks will not be enabled for Moodle<sup>TM</sup>.

This upgrade also adapts the chart to the latest Bitnami good practices. Check the Parameters section for more information.

### To 7.0.0

Helm performs a lookup for the object based on its group (apps), version (v1), and kind (Deployment). Also known as its GroupVersionKind, or GVK. Changing the GVK is considered a compatibility breaker from Kubernetes' point of view, so you cannot "upgrade" those objects to the new GVK in-place. Earlier versions of Helm 3 did not perform the lookup correctly which has since been fixed to match the spec.

In https://github.com/helm/charts/pull/17301 the `apiVersion` of the deployment resources was updated to `apps/v1` in tune with the api's deprecated, resulting in compatibility breakage.

This major version signifies this change.

### To 3.0.0

Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed unless you modify the labels used on the chart's deployments.
Use the workaround below to upgrade from versions previous to 3.0.0. The following example assumes that the release name is moodle:

```console
$ kubectl patch deployment moodle-moodle --type=json -p='[{"op": "remove", "path": "/spec/selector/matchLabels/chart"}]'
$ kubectl delete statefulset moodle-mariadb --cascade=false
```
