== Get Moodle on IBM Cloud  ==


=== We will deploy Moodle on an IBM Cloud Kubernetes Cluster ===

* Prerequisites 
* You should have an IBM Cloud account, otherwise you can [http://cloud.ibm.com/registration|register here].
  
#  Provisioning a new Kubernetes Cluster, if already have one skip to step **2** 
#  Deploying the IBM Cloud Block Storage plug-in, if already have it skip to step **3** 
#  Deploying Moodle 

=== Step 1 provisioning a new Kubernetes Cluster ===

* Click the **Catalog** button on the top 
* Select **Service** from the left in the catalog
* Search for **Kubernetes Service** and click on it

* At the Kubernetes deployment page, we will specify our deployment details
* Choose a plan **standard** or **free**, the free plan only has one worker node and no subnet, to provision a standard cluster, you will need to upgrade you account to Pay-As-You-Go 
* To upgrade to a Pay-As-You-Go account, complete the following steps

  
           *    In the console, go to Manage > Account.
           *    Select Account settings, and click Add credit card.
           *    Enter your payment information, click Next, and submit your information

* Choose **classic** or **VPC**, read the [docs] and choose the most suitable type for yourself 
 ![VPC](/infra-select.png)
* Please decide on your deployment's location parameters, for more information please visit [https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-regions-and-zones#zones|Locations]
* Choose **Geography** (continent)
![continent](/location-geo.png)
* Choose **Single** or **Multizone**, in single zone your data is only kept in one datacenter, with Multizone your data is kept on multiple sites for more security
![avail](/location-avail.png)
* Choose a **Worker Zone** if using Single zones or **Metro** if Multizone
 ![worker](/location-worker.png) 
* If you wish to use Multizone please set up your account with [https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-regions-and-zones#zones|VRF] or [https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vlans?topic=vlans-vlan-spanning#vlan-spanning|enable Vlan spanning]
* At your current location selection, it is possible there is no Virtual LAN  currently available, then a new Vlan will be created for you
 
* Choose a **Worker node setup** or use the preselected one, set **Worker node amount per zone**
![worker-pool](/worker-pool.png)
* Choose **Master Service Endpoint**, In VRF-enabled accounts, you can choose private-only to make your master accessible on the private network or via VPN tunnel. Choose public-only to make your master publicly accessible. When you have a VRF-enabled account, your cluster is set up by default to use both private and public endpoints. For more information visit [https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-service-endpoints-overview|endpoints].
![endpoints](/endpoints.png)
* Give cluster a **name**

![name-new](/name-new.png)
* Give desired **tags** to your cluster, for more information visit [https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-tag|tags]

![tags-new](/tasg-new.png)
* Click **create**
![create-new](/create-new.png)

* Wait for you cluster to be provisioned 
![cluster-prepare](/cluster-prepare.png)
* Your cluster is ready for usage

===  Step 2 deploy IBM Cloud Block Storage plug-in ===
The Block Storage plug-in is a persistent, high-performance iSCSI storage that you can add to your apps by using Kubernetes Persistent Volumes (PVs).
 
* Click the **Catalog** button on the top 
* Select **Software** from the catalog
* Search for **IBM Cloud Block Storage plug-in** and click on it
![Block](/block-search.png)

* On the application page Click in the _dot_ next to the cluster, you wish to use
* Click on  **Enter or Select Namespace** and choose the default Namespace or use a custom one (if you get error please wait 30 minutes for the cluster to finalize)
![block-c](/block-cluster.png)
* Give a **name** to this workspace 
* Click **install** and wait for the deployment
![block-create](/block-storage-create.png)

=== Step 3 Deploy Moodle ===

In this step we will deploy Moodle on our cluster 
  
* Click the **Catalog** button on the top 
* Select **Software** from the left in the catalog
* Search for **Moodle** and click on it
![Search](/search.png)


* On the application page Click in the _dot_ next to the cluster we just created or use an existing one
![Cluster](/cluster-select.png)
* Click on  **Enter or Select Namespace** and choose one of the default Namespaces or use a custom one
![Namespace](/details-namespace.png)
* Give a unique **name** to your workspace

![Name](/details-name.png)
* Select which resource group you want to use, it is for access control and billing purposes. For more information please visit [https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-account_setup#bp_resourcegroups|resource groups]

![apache-resource](/details-resource.png)

* Here you can give **tags** to your apache airflow workspace, which will affect your deployment. For more information visit [https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-tag|tags]

![apache-tags](/details-tags.png)

* Click on **Parameters with default values**, You can set deployment values or use the default ones

![def-val](/parameters.png)

* Please **tick** the box next to the agreements and click **install**

![Install](/aggreement-create.png)

* Your apache airflow workspace will start installing, please wait a couple of minutes for the deployment to finish 

![airflow-progress](/in-progress.png)

* Your Moodle workspace has been successfully deployed

![airflow-finsihed](/airflow-done.png)

===  Verify Moodle installation ===

* Go to [Resources] in your browser 
* Click on **Clusters**
* Click on your Cluster
![Resourcelect](/resource-select.png)

* Now you are at you cluster's overview, here Click on **Actions** on the top right and  click on **Web terminal** from the dropdown menu


![Actions](/cluster-main.png)

* Click **install**, then wait couple of minutes 

![terminal-install](/terminal-install.jpg)

* Click on **Actions**
* Click **Web terminal** --> a terminal will open up

* **Type** in the terminal, please change NAMESPACE to the namespace you choose at the deployment setup:

![get-ns](/get-ns.png)

  $ kubectl get pod -n NAMESPACE -o wide 

![get-pod](/get-pod.png)



  $ kubectl get service -n NAMESPACE

![get-service](/get-service.png)


* Your running Moodle services will be visible 


You successfully deployed Moodle on IBM Cloud!
