edX VS Canvas LMS

Everyone does that. MIT too.

At some point, look at the git history for who wrote Open edX, and at some point, look at the git history for who created the first edX course. Compare that to the official narrative, and try to find their names anywhere in PR materials.

Is it this code, or does this code seem like what you want to do though? https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/blob/db32ff2cdf678fa8edd12c9da76a76eef0478614/common/djangoapps/third_party_auth/decorators.py

Try open edx, its open source lms and free but need technical knowledge to deploy and host on your own server. Here's the link : https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform The platform described as "Open edX® was created by the joint efforts of Harvard University and MIT for the well-known learning platform edX. It is an open-source, learning management system (LMS) that empowers organizations worldwide to design customized and engaging online learning platforms.5 Jul 2021"

There are plenty of python projects on github. here is some of my favourite ones django-logpipe!, zulip!, unleash!, edx-platform!, sentry!

Have you looked at https://github.com/edx/edx-platform? It's one platform that's established and open source. It might not be lightweight enough for your needs though.

That's what happens in edX, and I see there is on github the code for this platform. Unfortunately my python knowledge is from a 4 weeks course (so minimal). I was wondering whether someone knows of an easy way to replicate this. I thought of downloading an .html page of a course (with a video) and changing the sources of the video & transcript to something local on my computer, but I was unable to.

Open edX GitHub repository is located at: https://github.com/edx/edx-platform

openedx is an open source version of that, and it heavily relies on django https://github.com/edx/edx-platform

I did not realize that Canvas is open source. That's an LMS most people like. You have hosting space and server-side savvy, you could set that up: https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms

Canvas go brrrrrrrr

Also look at Canvas.

github.com/instructure/canvas-lms (745k lines): A popular LMS (learning management system).

No it's not. From a practical standpoint, I'm not even sure how that could work. You would have to require all browsers to be open source AGPL in order to load a web page served by it. By way of analogy it seems the equivalent of requiring the mouse and keyboard firmware to be licensed the same as the operating system.

A real life example is Instructure, which makes Canvas (which is agpl) but has other proprietary services that interact heavily with it. It's never been a problem

Look into Canvas LMS, I would recommend using 8GB RAM and at least 4 vCores. I have used it in the past (`2 years ago) and only had issues with cloning class/course templates.

If you're planning on doing this as business though, bear in mind this is a pretty crowded market. There's already at least one Rails-based LMSes out there (https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms), and dozens in PHP-land.

There is also Canvas.
