    • I ran into trouble with the tutor filters api

      • Kyle helped me work through the distinctions between:

        • Filters and filters,

        • usage of `COMPOSE_LOCAL_TMP` and `COMPOSE_MOUNTS`

      • Action item: I should comment on the output of below so it meets my needs

        • is Regis' attempt to do so I should comment on it.

  • @Kyle McCormick

    • the legacy frontend tooling in edx-platform is such a box of mysteries, at least to me

    • struggling to think of a way of avoiding pip install -e . from needing to be run when mounting edx-platform. I have some ideas but they all seem hacky (pip install -e . in an entrypoint script)

    • there might be a different form of pip install? bypassing the -e means we actually need a package proper to install

    • Regis: maybe have init scripts that run install -e that only run in development?

  • @Zach Hancock

    • Working with a vendor (Verificient) who is having trouble in their integration environment with certain static assets (web workers out of an npm package) needed by proctoring, it seems they don’t get built into the image.

      • still investigating
