Overview

Claroline Connect is an open source learning management system (LMS) and e-learning platform used by schools, universities and training organisations to author and deliver online courses. It brings course workspaces, learning paths, activities and exercises, forums, resource libraries, badges and learner tracking together in one web interface, with role based enrolment and a plugin architecture for extension. Built as a Symfony back end with a React front end, it lets teams run their own teaching platform on infrastructure they control rather than a third party service.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg ships Claroline Connect fully compiled, installed and migrated, served by nginx and PHP 8.3 FPM and backed by a bundled MySQL 8.0 database on loopback, so a working platform answers within minutes of launch - the React front end is built at image-build time, so no Composer, npm or webpack toolchain ever runs on the customer VM. There is no shared credential in the image: on the first boot of every VM a unique administrator password, database password and Symfony application secret are generated, and the per VM administrator is created before the web tier is allowed to start, so the platform is never served with a placeholder login. MySQL binds only to loopback and the database and Claroline's content live on a dedicated data disk, off the OS disk. Every deployment is paired with a step by step guide and backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.

Common uses

  • Running an online learning platform for a school, university or training organisation
