[bitnami/moodle] Support Use of Moodle's Aurora MySQL Database Driver

[cgrycki]

Name and Version

bitnami/moodle

What is the problem this feature will solve?

The Moodle container is unable to install Moodle when using a MySQL compatible Aurora database. The startup scripts for the Moodle container require that the value of the environment variable "MOODLE_DATABASE_TYPE" is one of the following:

• mysqli
• mariadb
• pgsql https://github.com/bitnami/containers/blob/4fee4a6c96a3c162beb63323ef10f6a5697aa4f0/bitnami/moodle/4/debian-11/rootfs/opt/bitnami/scripts/libmoodle.sh#L90

Moodle added support for MySQL compatible Aurora in version 3.9. Attempting to use the mysqli database driver with an Aurora database results in the error "Index column size too large. The maximum column size is 767 bytes." during installation. The "auroramysql" driver solves this by extending the mysqli driver and disabling compressed row format. https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-58931 https://github.com/moodle/moodle/compare/master...mackensen:MDL-58931-master

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

Support "auroramysql" as one of the permitted values for MOODLE_DATABASE_TYPE. It can very likely reuse the same logic as the "mysqli" type in the libmoodle.sh script.

What alternatives have you considered?

Provision a new MySQL or MariaDB database on RDS.
