Tutor

Hi

I am a beginner here. I would like to know where are lms.env.json and cms.env.json files located? I tried going to /edx/… but such a directory is not there . I tried checking in /home/ubuntu but the folder is empty. Please help me if you don’t mind.

folders in root
…
bin home lib64 opt sbin tmp vmlinuz.old
boot initrd.img lost+found proc snap usr
dev initrd.img.old media root srv var
etc lib mnt run sys vmlinuz

The *.env.json files are generated in the ~/.local/share/tutor/env folder and mounted inside the docker containers at runtime. If you really want to modify those files, I suggest you learn about how Tutor and Docker work:

I would like to generate certificate, which is why I wanted to edit those files.

Use this forum to search for how other people have used the YAML and python plugins :slight_smile:

@ak00001 I followed this guide and created a plugin but seems like plugins only update existing config keys not add new configuration key.
I want to add ALLOW_PUBLIC_ACCOUNT_CREATION in both lms.env.json and cms.env.json file.
any suggestion ?

You’re almost there. This flag should be added both to the lms and cms list of features:

name: custome_cms_evn
version: 0.1.0
patches:
  common-env-features: |
    "ALLOW_PUBLIC_ACCOUNT_CREATION": false
