[Moodle] Running Moodle from Docker Image

Bitnami provide docker image for Moodle and it can be found in https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/moodle. In fact Bitnami provides a variety of Docker images, but I am not that familiar with this company. It looks solid though. docker-compose.yml file can be downloaded from their repository on GitHub. https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/moodle

You can copy docker compose yaml file and starts container out of it. docker-compose.yml file looks like below and Dockerfile is not needed since all Docker images are pulled from Docker hub.
