  • WordPress plugin for commerce

  • Speed of change to microfrontends makes it difficult to want to contribute

  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=N5PAU-vYrN8

  • robots.txt for most MFEs

    • Caddyfile could add a robots.txt like this to the MFE container, with varying restrictions based on the MFEs within the container:

    • Code Block
      # robots.txt

{% for app in MFE_APPS %}
{% if app['no-crawl'] % }
User-agent: *
Disallow: /{app}
{% edif % }
{% endfor %}

User-agent: *
Disallow: /learning/course/*/progress  # Don't crawl learner progress pages

  • Follow-up on tutor-contrib-verdaccio.

    • Official plugin? Core? Not ready? Need more time to evaluate?

    • https://github.com/overhangio/tutor-mfe/issues/220

    • The plugin doesn’t work for Docker Desktop but only for Orbstack - need to check the docker.internal for docker desktop

    • We will continue the conversation in the discuss and tutor-mfe issue

  • We tutor maintainers should keep an eye on DEPR tickets and make sure plugins get deprecated if the upstream code gets deprecated

  • Moises: https://docs.docker.com/reference/dockerfile/#run---mounttypessh I wanted to use the RUN --mount=type=ssh instruction to install private packages. This command needs an additional flag to the build command that I can add via the DOCKER_BUILD_COMMAND filter. The problem is that the --ssh=default=$SSH_AUTH_SOCK flag gets escaped by shlex. As a workaround is possible to use os.environ.get("SSH_AUTH_SOCK") but some people may not want to print those values to the stdout.

    • what type of packages?

    • Zameel: Installing npm packages from a private github repo

      • cloned with personal access token, installed locally

      • didn’t need to use --mount=type=ssh

    • Dawoud: is it --ssh=default=$SSH_AUTH_SOCK or --ssh default=$SSH_AUTH_SOCK ?

    • Kyle: --ssh=default=$SSH_AUTH_SOCK – what is getting escaped?

    • Max: we are also interested in this answer

      • Moisés González do you have a POC to try?

      • RG is interested in helping to implement or test the proposal

      • In our non-tutor deployments we extensively used SSH key for private repos cloning

  • Max’s verdaccio plugin: https://discuss.openedx.org/t/local-npm-registry-for-mfe-builds/13526

    • Issues

      • doesn’t work without host.docker.internal hostname

    • Important insight- timing

      • very good time for low parallelism (max 2) – 12min

      • worst time for high parallellism (no max) – 27min

    • Regis

      • Caching npm deps – good.

      • Regis runs verdaccio on a remote server.

        • Getting issues with timeouts/connection.

        • not sure if connection issue is b/w verdaccio and tutor or verdaccio and npm

      • Running a container before a build – not supported in tutor naturally

      • Doesn’t make sense to have separate verdaccios for nightly vs master

      • Decouple launching verdaccio instance vs configuring NPM_REGISTRY

        • starting verdaccio could be managed by docker, not docker-compose

        • tutor local do verdaccio-start ?

      • Max - similarly, don’t like idea of having a Tutor service that’s not truly a tutor service

      • Max - why a separate machine for verdaccio?

        • regis - didn’t know about host.docker.internal

    • Max - it doesn’t seem to be resource intensive for his machine

      • Max’s coworker disagrees

      • Regis - it uses …. MB memory and … MB disk space. Not very intensive in either case

    • What does the api look like?

      • Regis: tutor local do verdaccio start

        • would start verdaccio. would print an instruction to run tutor config save --set NPM_REGISTRY=host.docker.internal:$PORT

      • Kyle: tutor verdaccio start, same as above

      • Max: tutor npm-mirror start, same as above

      • Max: plugin or core?

      • Regis: try out a couple weeks , and see whether to add it to core?

      • Kyle: worried about resource usage depending on different machines, want it to be optional

    • Max: parallellism, why does unbounded parallelism slow it down?

  • Zameel - non-latin languages and mysql 5.7

  • Nihad: https://discuss.openedx.org/t/unable-to-import-open-edx-demo-course-in-redwood-release/13455 ,
