Open edX

Purpose

Large-scale learning platform with LMS, Studio authoring, modern frontends and extensive integration points.

Decision Summary

Enterprise/large-academy candidate requiring dedicated Linux/Docker operational ownership.

Use Cases

Universities, MOOCs, large academies, complex learning programs, reusable content and LTI integrations.

Field Notes

Never use master/nightly for normal production. Track named-release EOL and document every XBlock, MFE and Tutor plugin.

Hardware Requirements

64-bit Unix host with modern Docker/Compose. Lab minimum 4 GB RAM/2 CPU/8 GB; recommended development baseline 8 GB/4 CPU/25 GB; production needs greater workload-based sizing.

Backup Strategy

Tutor configuration/plugins, SQL and Mongo data, uploaded content/object storage, themes, custom images, secrets and TLS.

Recovery Strategy

Deploy the same named Tutor release, restore state and validate Studio publishing, LMS, MFEs, jobs, email and integrations.

Secure Boot Notes

Not directly applicable to this web/server platform. Keep Secure Boot enabled on supported host OS or hypervisor and use signed host components.

Version History

Named releases occur about every six months; only the latest named release is community-supported. Tutor is the recommended distribution.
