After you have installed Devstack within Docker, you can start Open edX services. You start the edX services with the following command. This command mounts the repositories under the DEVSTACK_WORKSPACE directory.
make dev.up
After it starts, each service is accessible at localhost on a specific
port. The table below provides links to the homepage of each service. Since
some services are not meant to be user-facing, the homepage may be the API
root.
Service URL Catalog/Discovery http://localhost:18381/api-docs/ Credentials http://localhost:18150/api/v2/ E-Commerce/Otto http://localhost:18130/dashboard/ LMS http://localhost:18000/ Notes/edx-notes-api http://localhost:18120/api/v1/ Studio/CMS http://localhost:18010/
After the services have started, you can get shell access to one of the
services with a make <service>-shell command. For example, to access the
Catalog/Course Discovery Service, run this command.
make discovery-shell
To see logs from containers running in detached mode, run the following command.
make logs
As an alternative, you can use Docker’s Kitematic feature, which is available from the Docker for Mac menu.
To view the logs of a specific service container, run a
make <service>-logs command. For example, to access the logs for the
Ecommerce service, run this command.
make ecommerce-logs
To restart a particular service, run a docker-compose restart <service>
command. For example, to restart the Studio service, run the following
command.
docker-compose restart studio
To reset your environment and start provisioning from scratch, run the following command.
make destroy
For information on all the available make commands, run the following command.
make help
When you install an Open edX system, the following user accounts are created by default.
