Hi everyone
I’m looking for a software that can do courses, basically a self hosted udemy type thing.
I’ve looked into just using jellyfin for this and it kind of works but not well. Granted its not what the software was designed for.
It seems what i need is an LMS. But I wanted to ask here to see
I probably have about 25 courses of various topics but in all likely hood its just going to be me and a few of my friends using it.
As far as deployment goes, I only really know docker compose for this
I’ve look at these but keen to hear from anyone if they have used one and how it went

I was forced to endure it for some time in the past. Would not wish it for my worst enemy to use Moodle
What made moodle frustrating?
I have also heard the opposite take, that canvas sucks and moodle is great.
Did you use it as a student/user, or as an administrator?
As a student, it was extremely annoying to browse through subjects and find what I needed to do. Really had a bad time with their UX.
Educator here. The text editor is awful. E.g. the font size in the paragraph font style selection isn’t consistent. Type text without changing font size -> c/p text from other source, select ‘normal’ paragraph style to match the initial style of my typed text -> font size differs. So the font size used as standard isn’t the same as the normal paragraph style. Also moving content on a course is slow and drag/drop only. Often you have to drag an item to the top of the, only to drop in something in between, scroll up/down in the browser, repeat.
User experience wise, Canvas > Moodle easily
I didn’t know Canvas was open source, that’s cool
