eox-tenant 4.1.0

Edunext Open edx extensions tenant.

EOX tenant

Eox-tenant is a multi-tenancy django app for edx-platform. It is build as an openedx plugin so even as a django app it will auto install in the larger edx-platform core code once installed in the same python environment.

The code is written and maintained by eduNEXT and it is what we use to support our own multi-tenant services. It was initially created as an extension of the microsites and site_configurations features of the Open edX platform, but it has grown to completely replace them in order to support more robust multi tenancy model.

If you are looking for professional development or support with multi tenancy or multi sites in the Open edX platform, you can reach out at [e-mail]

Migration notes

Migrating from 0.* version to 1.0.0

From version 1.0.0, middlewares RedirectionsMiddleware and PathRedirectionMiddleware are not longer supported in this plugin.These middlewares were moved to the eox-core plugin here. From this, you can have three cases:

1. You have already installed eox-core alongside eox-tenant. In this case you need to:

   • Upgrade eox-core to version 2.0.0 (previous releases are not compatible with eox-tenant 1.0.0)

   • Run the plugin migrations as indicated below:

   ./manage.py lms migrate eox_tenant --settings=<your app settings>
   ./manage.py lms migrate eox_core --fake-initial --settings=<your app settings>

2. You only have installed eox-tenant and you want to keep the functionality that middlewares offer. You need to:

   • Install eox-core version 2.0.0 as edx-platform requirement. You can use Ansible to add this plugin as an extra requirement.

   • Run the plugin migrations as indicated below:

   ./manage.py lms migrate eox_tenant --settings=<your app settings>
   ./manage.py manage.py lms migrate eox_core --fake-initial --settings=<your app settings>

3. In the case your are not using the redirection middlewares, and only have eox-tenant installed, you can simply apply the database migrations for the eox-tenant plugin:

   ./manage.py manage.py lms migrate eox_tenant --settings=<your app settings>

   The table corresponding to the Redirection model will not be deleted but it will be discarded from the Django state
