User Retirement Tutor plugin

This is an experimental plugin for Tutor that enables the user retirement feature in Open edX.

Version compatibility matrix

 You must install a supported release of this plugin to match the Open edX and Tutor version you are deploying. If you are installing this plugin from a branch in this Git repository, you must select the appropriate one:

Open edX release	Tutor version	Plugin branch	Plugin release
Lilac	>=12.0, <13	Not supported	Not supported
Maple	>=13.2, <141	maple	0.1.x
Nutmeg	>=14.0, <15	main	1.x.x

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/hastexo/[email protected]

Usage

To enable this plugin, run:

tutor plugins enable retirement

Before starting Tutor, build the docker image:

tutor images build retirement

After enabling this plugin, you need to restart your Tutor deployment with tutor local quickstart or tutor k8s quickstart. This ensures that the retirement service worker is registered as an OAuth2 client in LMS and that the retirement pipeline stages are correctly populated in LMS.

To run the retirement pipeline in the Tutor local deployment:

tutor local retire-users

This will start the retirement-job service and run the retirement pipeline as described here. If you want to run this command periodically in a local deployment, you can invoke this command from a cron job on your host.

For a Kubernetes deployment, this plugin defines a CronJob which runs the retirement pipeline according to the schedule defined in the RETIREMENT_K8S_CRONJOB_SCHEDULE configuration parameter. You can also tweak the history limits for the CronJob.

Configuration

• RETIREMENT_EDX_OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID (default "retirement_service_worker")
• RETIREMENT_COOL_OFF_DAYS (default 30)
• RETIREMENT_K8S_CRONJOB_HISTORYLIMIT_FAILURE (default 1)
• RETIREMENT_K8S_CRONJOB_HISTORYLIMIT_SUCCESS (default 3)
• RETIREMENT_K8S_CRONJOB_SCHEDULE (default "0 0 * * *", once a day at midnight)

These values can be modified with tutor config save --set PARAM_NAME=VALUE commands.

Footnotes

1. For Open edX Maple and Tutor 13, you must run version 13.2.0 or  later. That is because this plugin uses the Tutor v1 plugin API,  which was introduced with that  release. ↩
