We don't have a simple way of managing groups at the moment. This is the next best alternative as managing groups/permissions is a bit beyond the scope of the current task.

- Remove sync provisioning to force upgrade.
- Add 17.05 as minimum version

See https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/osxfs-caching/ for details.

This solves the same problem as #123 for Docker Sync. Docker doesn't support using a volume for a directory, and excluding certain subdirectories. Users will need to sync the entire directory, and re-install Node dependencies, until we find a more appropriate solution.

Devstack has been updated to use a smaller image for the Credentials Service. This image is built without Ansible.

I suspect these volumes retain outdated data between container creation instead of pulling the latest data from the image as intended. This results in services loading without assets.

Our usage of host volumes puts us in a weird position due to the fact that we want share code from the host while excluding certain directories, and pulling that information from the image itself. Docker doesn't seem to support such a configuration. We can resolve this issue by either rebuilding images completely with every change, using a separate container to build static assets, or explicitly sharing specific code directories rather than the entire directory.

7d21ef048f528bf98958904f6bb9f5c5fc253bf3  Updated CPU and memory recommendations

25a1102a74ffb4ac3d054ed5cac76a94fdeb9c7b  Added troubleshooting section to README

- Replaced calls to docker-sync-daemon with docker-sync, which is now daemon by default
- Moved from rsync strategy to native_osx, which is the new default
- Using :nocopy to avoid issues when syncing to named volumes

Fixes #110

This will enable others to build images.

This environment variable instructs edxapp to NOT remove old Python libs when install prerequisites since our images/containers will never have the older versions.

Despite the environment variable overrides, Paver still seems to be  doing more than is necessary to start LMS and Studio. Skip Paver, and run the server directly via Django's manage.py, like every other service.

Additionally, the removal of old Python libraries has been disabled when installing prerequisites. This is not necessary for Docker images, and removing packages causes Django to stop and the container to shut down.

* Start docker-sync and use the local host volumes by default
* Make the devstack workspace configurable, make travis use /tmp
* Remove redundant env vars, set -d on make devstack.up
* Add sleep to travis.yml
* Set a default value for DEVSTACK_WORKSPACE, and export it to all subshells in Make
* Rename devstack prefix to dev, add comment to makefile target
* Edits to the README to encourage setting up docker-sync before getting
started. Also update references to make targets.

The configuration changes for these images has been merged to the master
branch of edx/configuration. We can now pull from the "official" latest
tag rather than devstack.
