Currently, when we install any third-party xblocks via OPENEDX_EXTRA_PIP_REQUIREMENTS or mounts, openedx image needs to be re-build for the following:
pip install the package
re-build static assets to bring in static assets of xblock
xblock translations
While buildx cache can reduce the image build time, we don't the capability to add the xblocks at runtime. This initiative is meant to find out the ways we can do so without having to re-build docker image. One way can be to have a virtualenv that is bind mounted at runtime, though it only resolves the pip install action item and not others.
For now, we can focus only on docker-compose flow and ignore k8s. The said mechanism will allow having src based plugins in tpi where one could easily toggle third-party xblocks (https://codewithemad.ir/openedx-extensions/, https://openedx.org/the-platform/extensions-directory/) .
