Reference Architecture

Deploy Moodle, the most popular learning management system on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and MySQL Database Service (MDS) using Terraform modules.

This Terraform code spins up one or more Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) instances after creating the required OCI networking components, deploys moodle on the instance(s) and creates a MySQL Database System (with High Availability if desired).

Prerequisites

  • Permission to manage the following types of resources in your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure tenancy: vcns, internet-gateways, route-tables, security-lists, subnets, mysql-family, and instances.

  • Quota to create the following resources: 1 VCN, 2 subnets, 1 Internet Gateway, 1 NAT Gateway, 2 route rules, 1 MySQL Database System (MDS) instance, and 1 (or more) compute instance(s) for moodle.

If you don't have the required permissions and quota, contact your tenancy administrator. See Policy Reference, Service Limits, Compartment Quotas.

Deploy Using Oracle Resource Manager

  1. Click Deploy to Oracle Cloud

    If you aren't already signed in, when prompted, enter the tenancy and user credentials.

  2. Review and accept the terms and conditions.

  3. Select the region where you want to deploy the stack.

  4. Follow the on-screen prompts and instructions to create the stack.

  5. After creating the stack, click Terraform Actions, and select Plan.

  6. Wait for the job to be completed, and review the plan.

    To make any changes, return to the Stack Details page, click Edit Stack, and make the required changes. Then, run the Plan action again.

  7. If no further changes are necessary, return to the Stack Details page, click Terraform Actions, and select Apply.

Deploy Using the Terraform CLI

Clone the Module

Now, you'll want a local copy of this repo. You can make that with the commands:

    git clone https://github.com/oracle-devrel/terraform-oci-arch-moodle-mds.git
    cd terraform-oci-arch-moodle-mds
    ls

Prerequisites

First off, you'll need to do some pre-deploy setup. That's all detailed here.

Create a terraform.tfvars file, and specify the following variables:

# Authentication
tenancy_ocid        = "<tenancy_ocid>"
user_ocid           = "<user_ocid>"
fingerprint         = "<finger_print>"
private_key_path    = "<pem_private_key_path>"

region              = "<oci_region>"
compartment_ocid    = "<compartment_ocid>"

# MySQL and moodle variables
admin_password         = "<admin_password>"
moodle_password        = "<moodle_password>"
moodle_admin_password  = "<moodle_admin_password>"

Create the Resources

Run the following commands:

terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply

Destroy the Deployment

When you no longer need the deployment, you can run this command to destroy the resources:

terraform destroy

Deploy as a Module

It's possible to utilize this repository as remote module, providing the necessary inputs:

module "oci-arch-moodle-mds" {
  source                        = "github.com/oracle-devrel/terraform-oci-arch-moodle-mds"
  tenancy_ocid                  = "<tenancy_ocid>"
  user_ocid                     = "<user_ocid>"
  fingerprint                   = "<finger_print>"
  private_key_path              = "<private_key_path>"
  region                        = "<oci_region>"
  compartment_ocid              = "<compartment_ocid>"
  admin_password                = "<admin_password>"
  moodle_password               = "<moodle_password>"
  moodle_admin_password         = "<moodle_admin_password>"
}

Testing your Deployment

After the deployment is finished, you can access and configure moodle by picking moodle_home_URL from the output and pasting into web browser window.

moodle_home_URL = http://193.122.198.20/
