After the successful installation of Tutor Dev Lilac, the next step involves mounting the Lilac release onto your local system. This mounting procedure within Tutor Dev Lilac is crucial for deploying a Tutor application within a production environment. Now, let’s delve into the comprehensive, step-by-step process of mounting in Tutor Dev Lilac.

Mounting Process in Tutor Dev Lilac

Copy Files from Container

To mount files from the local system to a container, you first need to copy the files from the container to the local system. You can use the following command to do this:

$ tutor local bindmount (service_name) (container_path)

For example, During the mounting process, we copied the LMS container directory.

$ tutor local bindmount lms /openedx/edx-platform

The tells Tutor to bind mount the host directory /openedx/edx-platform to the /openedx/edx-platform directory in the LMS container. This means that any changes made to the files in the host directory will be reflected in the LMS container, and vice versa.

The bindmount command takes two arguments: the name of the container to bind mount to, and the path to the host directory to bind mount. In this case, the container name is lms and the host directory is /openedx/edx-platform.

After that, a volume will be created in the directory .local/share/tutor and named volumes. This volume will contain the contents of the folder that was copied from the container to the local system.

Benefits of Mounting a Volume in Tutor Dev Lilac

• Allows you to share files and directories between your local machine and the Docker containers.
• It makes it easier to troubleshoot problems.
• Helps to prevent conflicts between your local machine and the development environment.

To make the container file mounting permanent, create a new file called
docker-compose.override.yml in the terminal. This file will contain the configuration for mounting the container files.

$ nano “$(tutor config printroot)/env/local/docker-compose.override.yml”

And store the services in the following format in the file.

(local-volume-path):(container-path)

After you have completed these steps, your file will be mounted permanently.
