pip

The library can be installed from PyPI:

$ pip3 install db-sync-tool-kmi

composer

While using the script within the PHP framework context, the script is available via packagist.org using composer:

$ composer require kmi/db-sync-tool

Additionally install the python requirements via the following pip command:

$ pip3 install -e vendor/kmi/db-sync-tool/

If you haven't declared a path to a SSH key, during the script execution you are requested to enter the SSH password for the given user in the shell argument or the config.json to enable a SSH connection for the remote system.

Import

You can import the python package and use them inside your project:

from db_sync_tool import sync

if __name__ == "__main__":
    sync.Sync(config={}, args*)

Configuration

You can configure the script with shell arguments or using a separate configuration file.

Configuration File

The config.json contains important information about the origin and the target system. In dependence on the given configuration the synchronisation mode is implicitly selected.

Example structure of a config.yml for a Symfony system in receiver mode (path defines the location of the Symfony database configuration file):

type: Symfony
origin:
    host: 192.87.33.123
    user: ssh_demo_user
    path: /var/www/html/project/shared/.env
target:
    path: /var/www/html/app/.env

It is possible to adjust the config.yml configuration.

File sync

There is an addon script available to sync files to. Use the file-sync-tool to easily transfer files between origin and target system.

Release Guide

A detailed guide is available to release a new version. See here.

Tests

A docker container set up is available for testing purpose. See here.
