How do I log in to Moodle?

Apps 115 views Markdown
  1. In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
  2. On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "Moodle is ready". The first Moodle install takes a long time. The page refreshes itself.
  3. Click Open app.
  4. Enter the details from the Login and Password rows. The login is yonetici, which is Turkish for "admin". There is no setup screen.
  5. For email, enter the values of SMTP_HOST, SMTP_PORT, SMTP_USER, SMTP_PASSWORD and SMTP_PROTOCOL in /opt/seturack/moodle/.env and run docker compose up -d in the same folder. The install doesn't set up email.

Further down the page, the Username row and the Password row below it are for SSH. Don't use them to log in to Moodle.

Good to know

  • The password contains a symbol because Moodle's default password policy asks for one.
  • Moodle writes the admin password, the admin email and the SMTP settings back from the .env file every time it starts. Changes made in the admin screen revert to the .env values when the server restarts (resizing included); to make them stick, change MOODLE_SIFRE and MOODLE_EPOSTA in .env.
  • Scheduled tasks run on the server by themselves. Course files stay on your server's disk.
  • The site opens over HTTPS on a free sslip.io address based on your IP. If a certificate can't be issued, it opens over http:// instead. Only ports 80, 443 and 22 (for SSH) are open to the outside.

To use your own domain, see this article.

No server yet? Order a server with Moodle installed: you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
