Summary

Adds a dedicated bitnamilegacy/moodle section to DOCKER_IMAGES.md. The Bitnami Moodle image uses different env var names than the already-documented lthub/moodle (MOODLE_DATABASE_* vs MOODLE_DB_*) and refuses to start without MOODLE_DATABASE_PASSWORD, which was causing install failures with the error:

ERROR ==> The MOODLE_DATABASE_PASSWORD environment variable is empty or not set.

What's documented

  • Full MariaDB + Bitnami Moodle two-container setup with matching env vars on both sides
  • Container port 8080 (Bitnami serves there, not 80)
  • ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes as a smoke test for the env-var pipeline
  • Clarification that the Error: No such container log line from ExecStartPre in conf/systemd.service:12 is harmless on first start

Test plan

  • Render DOCKER_IMAGES.md on GitHub and confirm the new section is between the existing Moodle and Gitea sections
  • Try a fresh install with bitnamilegacy/moodle:latest following the documented options and confirm the container starts past the password check

Generated by Claude Code

The Bitnami Moodle image uses MOODLE_DATABASE_* env vars (not MOODLE_DB_*
like lthub/moodle) and refuses to start without MOODLE_DATABASE_PASSWORD.
Document the full setup, the ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD smoke test, and clarify
that the 'No such container' line from ExecStartPre is harmless.
