Project description:
"I maintain a Moodle 4.1.2 training portal for a small non-profit society. We run only the core code—no custom plugins or themes—yet the jump to the current stable 5.0.2+ release is beyond my admin skills. I need a specialist who can handle the technical side while keeping me in the loop.

First priority is a proper full-site backup. I already export course data regularly, but I need you to capture a complete file-system and database snapshot so we can restore everything in one move if something misfires.

Once we are safe, I’d like you to spin up a staging clone, apply the upgrade, and walk me through basic testing. I’m happy to run through course enrolment, activity completion, and reporting checks alongside you; I just want guidance and an expert eye on any surprises.

When we both sign off on staging, you’ll schedule the production upgrade for minimal downtime and migrate the changes. Clear documentation of the steps you take and any configuration tweaks will help me support the platform afterward.

Deliverables
• Full Moodle 4.1.2 backup (code, data, DB)
• Staging clone upgraded to 5.0.2+
• Joint functional test session and issue resolution
• Production instance upgraded with confirmed stability
• Post-upgrade notes covering changes, cron tasks, and PHP/MySQL requirements

If you’ve performed similar core-only upgrades and can communicate clearly, let’s get started." (client-provided description)
