Moving a live LMS and SIS, and upgrading both on the way.
A private education institution with no infrastructure staff of its own runs its learning platform and student information system on Clouve. In July 2026 Clouve moved both to a new Education Kit, upgraded them, and kept the old system ready as a fallback.
We don’t name the institution. Every figure on this page comes from the project itself.
- Apps
- Moodle (LMS) and Gibbon (SIS), as an Education Kit
- Moodle
- 4.4.1 to 5.2
- Gibbon
- 27 to 30
- Cutover window
- About 90 minutes, planned
The situation
The institution relies on Moodle for teaching and on Gibbon for its student records, and has no staff to run servers. Clouve already ran both apps for it in production. The job was to move them, live data and all, to a new Education Kit and upgrade both apps in the same move.
What Clouve did
-
First
Set up a new Education Kit
A fresh deployment of Moodle and Gibbon, ready to receive the institution’s data.
-
20 July 2026
A full trial migration
The whole move, run once as a rehearsal, for the institution to check before anything changed for real.
-
28 July 2026
The cutover
The real move ran in a planned window of about 90 minutes. Moodle went from 4.4.1 to 5.2 and Gibbon from 27 to 30 on the way. Every check passed.
-
Afterwards
A fallback, kept intact
The original deployment was frozen and kept, untouched, as a rollback.
The result
- Moodle 5.2 and Gibbon 30, up from 4.4.1 and 27
- The move happened in a planned 90-minute window, after a full rehearsal
- The old system stayed available as a fallback
- Clouve runs both apps in production for the institution
And when something went wrong later
In September 2026 a race condition inside Moodle left behind an orphaned grade item, which broke the Dashboard for some users. Clouve traced it to the root cause in Moodle and had it fixed the next day.
