edX Production Stack

The fullstack configuration has the following components:

• LMS (student facing website)
• Studio (course authoring)
• Xqueue (queuing server that uses RabbitMQ for custom graders)
• Forums / elasticsearch / ruby (discussion forums)
• Demo course
• ORA - take a submission, passes it through machine learning grading, peer grading, and staff grading as appropriate
• Discern - machine-learning-based automated textual classification as an API service
• Ease - a library that allows for machine learning based classification of textual content

Installation instructions

• Install VirtualBox >= 4.2.12
• Install Vagrant >= 1.3.4
• Download the Vagrantfile and create the Vagrant instance:

mkdir fullstack
cd fullstack
curl https://raw.github.com/edx/configuration/master/vagrant/release/fullstack/Vagrantfile > Vagrantfile
vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater
vagrant up

• Note: The first time you create the virtual machine (VM) instance, Vagrant will download the base box, which is about 2GB. If you destroy and recreate the VM, Vagrant will re-use the box it downloaded.

Default username/password: vagrant/vagrant

See edX-Managing-the-Production-Stack for how to manage and update the server once it is running
