I'd be interested in the contents of the xs-moodle files or is that an

in those directories to execute, need to see the code to be sure on what
you require.
The install file for Moodle is

 cd "$UM_MOUNTPOINT"/XC
if [ -f xc-moodle/xc-moodle-install ]; then
        log notice "Installing moodle"
        cd xc-moodle
        if bash xc-moodle-install; then
            log notice "moodle installed successfully"
        else
            log notice "moodle install failed with code $?"
            error_beep
        fi
else
        log notice 'moodle not found'
        error_beep

fi

The xc-moodle-install file is:

#!/bin/bash

#take backup from existing moodle
#su - postgres
#pg_dump moodle-xs > moodle-xs.sql

#stop httpd
/etc/init.d/httpd stop

#copy the moodle folder to /library
rm -rf /library/moodle
cp -r moodle /library/moodle
chown -R apache:apache /library/moodle

#restore the moodle-xs.sql backup of the database
psql -d moodle-xs -f moodle-xs.sql
#replace config.php file in /var/www/moodle/web and update /etc/httpd/conf.d/moodle.conf (if necessary)
cp config.php /var/www/moodle/web
cp moodle.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d

#start httpd
/etc/init.d/httpd start

Naturally, Moodle itself is installed as part of XS-0.7. This installs a PostgreSQL backup of Moodle content (courses). It also moved the Moodle data to /library. This was a mistake in the XS implementation. Data directories which can grow with use should be in /library not in the root partition. This is the change in
config.php.

The essence of this technique is that 20-xc-generic needs to be installed by xo-custom, xs-setup, or in the build. Once that is installed, a deployment can
perform any additional installations of content or packages via xc-install.

It would probably be useful to have a library of these optional installations.

Currently, I am using this technique to install the courseware for the Learn activity, Django, the library, wiki4schools, mediawiki, wiktionary, the beginnings of a learning management system, and the beginnings of an itembank of questions. I hope to have an install script for IIAB (probably one for the front end and one or more for the content).
