Great question! Yes, it is possible. It's easy to checkout any of the branches (for example for 4.2.x with "git checkout MOODLE_402_STABLE"). That will get you the latest code on any given major version. For minor "point" releases it's a bit trickier and you'll need to search "git log" or "git tag" for the specific release you're after. Then to get for example v4.2.4, you would use "git checkout v4.2.4" (however this will not be on a branch and thus updating with "git pull" won't work until you return to a branch). Not a bad idea for a video actually, I'll add it to the to-do list. Cheers!

Deploying an LLM to a cloud is easy using the docker-compose.yaml file in the Pillama repository, though getting it to work well with the cloud's infrastructure will be very case-by-case depending on how your particular cloud is setup. Using cloud-based GPUs etc will yield better results, so I'd suggest looking through the documentation for your cloud infrastructure provider. Sorry, I don't have a one-size-fits-all answer for this question.

Glad it was helpful! Thank you

Thank you for the great question! I'll pass your message on to the duck. 😂

Argentina? Wow! Thanks for watching! Glad to have been of service.

It looks like there is a typo in either the dbtype or dblibrary directives in config.php. Some common errors include not finishing the directive with a semicolon; having Capitalized some letters (MySQLi instead of mysqli); having the wrong dbtype (the most common being perhaps 'mysql' instead of 'mariadb'). If you can paste the first few lines of your config.php, that might help diagnosing the problem.

@@Wise-Cat Thanks for having a look into this. The first lines are: $CFG->dbtyle = 'mariadb'; $CFG->dblibrary = 'native'; $CFG->dbhost = 'localhost'; $CFG->dbname = 'moodle'; $CFG->dbuser = 'moodleuser';

@Wise-Cat ok ... found it: the typo is dbtyle instead of dbtype 🙈 Thanks for your great videos and tutorials. You are one of my absolute favorites. informative and still entertaining. Please do never stop!

Ahh, well spotted. Glad to hear it all worked out.

I would love to try that out someday. I currently don't have that stuff though. Saw some videos on Jeff Geerling's channel that were very interesting though.

Thanks

I've been meaning to do a video on this for a while now. Your best bet is probably the CLI uninstall-plugins.php. Use the switches --show-missing and --purge-missing to show and purge the missing plugins for the site. Also remember to use the --run switch when you actually want it to run the actions (uninstall-plugins.php is very cautious and won't actually do anything without the --run switch). Afterwards, perhaps go to the "performance overview" report and make sure the Database schema matches what the code expects. Good luck and happy hunting!

I made a video on this topic ruclips.net/video/JCD1F-ZDgj0/видео.htmlsi=K5EgsFeGEkFvFf2X Hope that helps

Thank you very much. I'm always glad to hear my videos are helpful.

Great to hear! Enjoy your new AI!

It depends on what your goal is. If you want a blazing fast AI, yeah it's not worth it. On the other hand, if you want to learn more about how these things work and perhaps how you can serve your own AI later on more impressive hardware (or on platforms like AWS and/or Azure) then it's totally worth it. Or you could do it to win a beer bet 😉 In our case, we did it simply to show it CAN be done. To demonstrate to people that AI is not beyond them and to thus empower people. This could be the start of a journey for people who otherwise might be too self-doubting to take their first step. That makes it worth it to me. Oh, and it's cute and fun too...

Not sure what I can do to help. What problem are you facing? If searching for your php.ini file, looking at your Moodle's phpinfo page should still work regardless of the OS.

You can find it regardless of the operating system you’re using. Actually if you’re using windows, it’s probably the easiest to find the file on.

Thanks for that. Yes, the other day a friend was trying it on an M1 Mac and she noticed that the performance on a directly installed Ollama was also much better. There are certainly better ways to do this than the what we did...

Thank you. I'm glad to hear it helped.

Thanks for that comment, I didn't mention when to YOLO upgrade because largely they have been just another major release with a YOLO number change. Right now, the desired upgrade would be to 4.4. my recommendation is to always be as upgraded as possible. Rumours of "so many bugs" tend to be unfounded, and even if a bug exists, it's usually taken care of at the latest, by the following point release. So, upgrade to the latest possible version, and don't skimp on the point release updates. From my experience there has never been a good argument for holding back (i.e. only upgrading to 4.2 when 4.4 is available). All holding back does is give users an outdated experience. Nobody likes that... Good luck with your upgrades and thanks again for shining light on my omission. Cheers!

Glad you like it! Definitely felt a follow up to the workshop last Sunday was needed.

It depends on what kind of error it is. If an SSH error, it could be that your SSH keys are not setup properly. I'm planning to do a video on SSH keys (along with ssh-import-id and ssh-copy-id) soon. Maybe that will help?

@@Wise-Cat Thanks, I will recheck. And waiting to see the ssh keys. your video are very helpfull

Wow! Interesting question. I haven't seen and can't immediately think of a way to do this in the gradebook, but for individual items, you could perhaps use scales. Do you think there's a demand for not using hindu-arabic numerals though? Here in Japan, I don't think anyone would use kanji numbers if that option existed.

@@Wise-Cat Hi, It is used in certificates. I try to generate a transcript using custom certificate for primary school but I surprised that I can only use English numbers

Ahh, that makes sense. Perhaps adding an issue on the customcert GitHub Page (or looking to see if someone else has already had similar thoughts) might be an idea. It may need funding, but sounds like something that could be added.

Glad it was helpful!

You bet!

Happy to hear it!

Thanks Todd. Definitely bringing back the duck. It has to happen.

Thanks for the encouragement. I do try to release a video each week, though some weeks this is easier than others. Thanks also for subscribing. I hope my future videos prove useful for you.

@@Wise-Cat configuring the width and the background colours are essential elements, thanks for those videos. Now, I've come across your channel in my search for an inviting website. Fair enough for established institutions, but not being able to have a welcoming landing page with links to other pages such as ''about'' just makes people click right out. If you have any ideas to make a moodle site look more like a school's oficial site, it would be greatly apreciated. Hope it makes sense

Moove, Boost Union and LearnR among other themes have some pretty good features for improving the site-home. They offer stuff like image carousels and "marketing spots" that can make things much more appealing even before one logs in. It's definitely worth trying out a few themes and you'll probably find one that suits your needs.

Exactly! When I first saw the narrow strip in the middle, I thought I had just wasted a bunch of money buying a 24" screen. I like my Moodles like my monitors: widescreen enabled.

Wow! A non-Moodle but related-to-Moodle question (a first for this channel). It's been a while since I have done a BBB migration, but there is a way to move the recordings over. I'm guessing it might be different now compared to when I last did one, but as long as the metadata from the BBB recordings is all intact they can be migrated across.

Thanks for trying it out. Yes, being a new plugin, there are still some tweaks that need to be made. One recent tweak stops it from being duplicated in H5P activities. Appreciate the feedback, thanks!

Hmm, I don't know of any way to get all of this information on one page, though the Custom reports feature may be useful to make several reports that could provide the information you're after.

I'll definitely try to get some BBB related content up soon. Thanks!

Glad it was helpful! Like you, I'm not a programmer but a system administrator. It's a life of continuous learning, keep at it! That CSS isn't really the best as it will cause issues on smaller screens and with longer activity names. So, be ready to tweak it more when you discover issues. Firefox's inspector gives you a good way to try tweaks out before making them live in the theme's SCSS. It is a rabbit hole though, and you can easily get hooked and spend hours playing with it (I've had that happen several times... great fun, but when you realise suddenly it's 3am, can be quite the shock).

For those who have my problem, sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/moodle.conf and inside the server definition put ==> location / {try_files $uri $uri/ =404;}....... This was tested on Almalinux.

"does not exist" suggests that Moodle cannot "see" the file. Check that it's there and that the file permissions allow the webserver to see the files.

@@Wise-Cat actually I discovered that it does a redirect if I tried to go to a page that does not exist.

Thanks so much for watching. Glad you liked it. Definitely want that editor in the inline replies in the forum.

Checkout my video on upgrading ruclips.net/video/9xds6a_aw1w/видео.html . The Process should be fairly similar regardless of whether it's on localhost or hosted elsewhere. If you need to change the URL to access it on localhost (i.e. migrating it to localhost first) then the Good migrations video will also probably help, ruclips.net/video/k0nrYdFK9uA/видео.html Also, be sure to take full backups before attempting any upgrades ruclips.net/p/PLUocP1bKm-DtdEr64NypbqLzh_MKomwac Happy upgrading!

Thanks a lot for the great question! I just made a video on this. ruclips.net/video/pHk5Dl0MA_A/видео.html Quite a nice rabbit hole your question sent me down. Great fun! Thanks again!

Absolutely! Though not perfect as a darkmode substitute, perhaps the accessibility plugin might help? moodle.org/plugins/local_accessibility At least, you can have some control over the colours with the accessibility plugin installed.

Glad to hear that Todd. Welcome back! Let's Moodle up together sometime soon.

Yes, let’s and thanks for these great tutorials

You're too kind

Complicated indeed. Well, I can think of two options. First, you could take backups of all your courses, then build a new Moodle with all your plugins installed, and restore the courses there. Though you may run into difficulty with the question banks/random questions. Also, your users would need to re-authenticate with the new server. The second way would be to copy the whole site to a Linux server, then gradually upgrade version by version, incrementing PHP and SQL versions as needed. This might actually be better if you don't have any additional plugins installed. Either way, that's a fairly big job. Plan a few hours to do it. Good luck!

Are you using Moodlecloud? I think plugin installation is limited/disabled on some of those plans.

There are some, yes. I haven't seen many, but one that comes to mind is the premium (paid) version of Moove. I'm sure you could find others if you search around a bit.

Thanks for watching. Glad it helped!

There's no single correct answer to your question. This video may help though ruclips.net/video/mrGGGqBLj2M/видео.html It all depends on how your server is setup and how the webserver gets the php processed. Either way, checking in PHP info is a very good starting point. Good luck!

If you only want it to take affect on the login page, simply change the selector to remove the ,body at the end. So the new selector would be ".pagelayout-login #page" Note, that I'm pretty sure the selectors needed have changed since 4.0. So it might be a good time to revisit this topic. Also, it's actually much easier to use a theme like moodle.org/plugins/theme_boost_union to do this.

Done it. Past it in etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf file between instide de </virtualhost>

Love it, you found the answer before I could get back to you. Awesome!

Thanks, glad you liked it ☺️

Thanks for the comment, though I'm going to have to disagree with you there. Modern versions of Moodle (anything 4.x) have very good responsive design for mobile devices. No only that, but there even exists a Mobile App (both for Android AND iPhone) . download.moodle.org/mobile The app even allows students to download courses and use them without an internet connection! I think you would be hard-pressed to find an LMS that offers a better experience on Mobile devices. The app may not be perfect, but there most certainly do exist options for phones.

If students don't have time to turn on their computers, they are doomed. If you're looking to create a free type of website and attract the masses, it can be the case, as people find it through links on social media on their phones. However people who have paid to, and need to learn, they had bettee find the time and a computer...I tell my students this from the start

Just made it. I cover a few more things regarding theming, but here's a link to the specific part of the video that answers your question. Hope this helps! ruclips.net/video/lTlKZzmEhHk/видео.htmlsi=uAtNFGYWBAY_xYqj&t=1140

You bet! I still want to get 1.3 running though. Need a bigger flux capacitor for that one.

Yes, I'm planning to make a few videos on plugins management soon. For Moodle cloud, depending on which plan you're subscribed to, the options may be a bit limited though.

Please do, it would be nice to explore more customization options for Moodle cloud aside from the default ones.
