• Integrate Tutor with IntelliJ IDEA/Pycharm (by Qasim Gulzar@edly)

  • The tutorial instructions will be published soon-ish in a dedicated space.

  • In the meantime, we can reproduce the instructions with the video recording.

  • Instructions are still hackish and a little brittle, we can definitely work to improve them.

• How to track the eclipse with Tutor (by Régis Behmo if time permits) (it did not)

Notes:

• MongoDb 7 upgrade: scheduled for Redwood

• utf8mb3 upgrade. We reached the following decisions for Redwood:

  • upgrade the connection string and the database default charset to utf8mb4 for all platforms

  • For existing platforms, upgrade the default database charset (with ALTER DATABASE databasename CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;).

  • For existing platforms, convert tables in a conservative manner, using instructions similar to:

    ALTER TABLE tablename CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;. The list of candidate tables is available here.

  • Implementation of these decisions can be followed in this GitHub issue: https://github.com/overhangio/tutor/issues/938

• MySQL high memory issue on Arch Linux: https://github.com/docker-library/mysql/issues/579#issuecomment-1075119349

  • It was suggested that Arch users manually create a docker-compose.override.yml file.

  • We should update the troubleshooting instructions for Arch Linux users. Deimer Morales can you please open a pull request to update the Tutor docs?

• Auto-mounted directories

  • Can we add mount keywords in our own plugin? → yes, or open a PR to upstream plugin

  • Do we list the keywords anywhere? example, platform-plugin-

    • The exact list is not documented anywhere

• MFE mounts

  • Tried to mount custom mfe – couldn’t do it

    • used command line mount

    • did not see the mfe on the port

    • seems like folder was mounted, but MFE filter wasn’t added to, so the tutor-mfe plugin didn’t know to build/run the mfe

    • How Zach did it:

      • https://github.com/Zacharis278/tutor-hacks/blob/master/tutorhacks/plugin.py#L131

• Let’s talk about MFE image building… why we (usually) don’t need to re-build, and figuring out this Docker build cache madness. (Régis Behmo )

  • Theoretically, rebuild should only happen if (1) we change an MFE and (2) we’re pushing it to production

  • Errors when installing node_modules

    • npm error, socket reset, registry hangup

  • Docker build cache size needs to be set large enough so that it doesn’t get garbage collected between mfe builds

    • https://docs.docker.com/desktop/settings/mac/#docker-engine

    • need to change a config item in $HOME/.docker/daemon.json

    • If you think you rebuild too often, try upping docker build cache max size

• Talked about https://github.com/kdmccormick/tutor/pull/34 - kyle will continue to work on

• Production vs dev flow in docs - docs nudge you towards production flow

• Remote image building - anyone?

  • edunext has - they build tutor-nightly images on an ec2 instance

    • 20-30 minutes for uncustomized mfe image

  • custom multiarch builder - regis builds macos images even though he doesn’t have a mac
