I am new to openEDX and if this is not right place to ask this question, please feel free to redirect.

I used "Try IBM's Distribution" for openEDX [link:https://open.edx.org/get-started/get-started-self-managed] [option provided under GET STARTED>self managed>choose your distribution]

I went through the steps directed by IBM pop up and it did create a instance of kubenetes cluster in IBM cloud. It is running successfully.

1.And then what ? 2.What should I do to view open EDX site?

    I hope you could get this working. You will have to visit the public IP of your IBM Cloud VM – Gaurav Ojha Jun 12 '19 at 07:01
  • @GauravOjha: Thanks Gaurav for taking time to answer. I did visit the public IP address and it still did not work. – Kasid Khan Jun 15 '19 at 04:04
  • I just gave it a try and at the end of the guided process, I got a statement saying "Your instance will be available at https://xyz123abc.openedx.site within 30 minutes." - guess that's how it is supposed to be deployed. – Gaurav Ojha Jun 16 '19 at 06:04

I know this is a bit late but I also tried IBM's Distribution for openEDX recently and did not receive an email with login details. I did the following to access the site:

  1. Log into IBM Cloud.
  2. Under Resource summary on the dashboard, click clusters.
  3. Under Clusters, click mycluster.
  4. Click Kubernetes Dashboard.
  5. Switch the namespace to open-edx-trial on the left under Overview.
  6. Click Config Maps under Config and Storage.
  7. If you click on openedx-config, go through the default set-up environment values and check for LMS_ROOT_URL and CMS_ROOT_URL for the URL for accessing the deployed site.

To reset the the default password

  1. still under the open-edx-trial namespace click on pods
  2. Click on the 3 dots beside the mysql pod and select Exec
  3. From the mysql shell update the password and is_active fields for the user in the auth_user table

You should now be able to login. Check https://support.skillsnetwork.site/knowledgebase/articles/all for more help.
