# Wordmove Wordmove is a nice little gem that lets you automatically mirror local Wordpress installations and DB data back and forth from your local development machine to the remote staging server. SSH and FTP connections are both supported. Think of it like Capistrano for Wordpress, complete with push/pull capabilities. [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/welaika/wordmove.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/welaika/wordmove) ## Installation That's easy: ``` gem install wordmove ``` ## Upgrading? Beware! From version 1.0 we have decided to change wordmove flags' behaviour: they used to tell wordmove which options to **skip**, now they tell instead which options to **include**. In the Movefile, we have also changed all "username" fields to be just "user". So please, be very careful when upgrading :heart: ## Usage ``` > wordmove help Tasks: wordmove help [TASK] # Describe available tasks or one specific task wordmove init # Generates a brand new Movefile wordmove pull # Pulls WP data from remote host to the local machine wordmove push # Pushes WP data from local machine to remote host ``` ## Movefile You can configure Wordmove creating a `Movefile`. That's just a YAML file with all the local and remote host infos: ```yaml local: vhost: "http://vhost.local" wordpress_path: "/home/john/sites/your_site" # use an absolute path here database: name: "database_name" user: "user" password: "password" host: "127.0.0.1" staging: vhost: "http://remote.com" wordpress_path: "/var/www/your_site" # use an absolute path here database: name: "database_name" user: "user" password: "password" host: "host" exclude: - ".sass-cache" - ".git" - "bin" - "tmp/*" - "wp-content/*.sql" - "Gemfile*" - "Movefile" - "wp-config.php" # paths: # you can customize wordpress internal paths # wp_content: "wp-content" # uploads: "wp-content/uploads" # plugins: "wp-content/plugins" # themes: "wp-content/themes" # languages: "wp-content/languages" # themes: "wp-content/themes" # ssh: # host: "host" # user: "user" # password: "password" # password is optional, will use public keys if available. # port: 22 # Port is optional # rsync_options: "--verbose" # Additional rsync options, optional # gateway: # Gateway is optional # host: "host" # user: "user" # password: "password" # password is optional, will use public keys if available. # ftp: # user: "user" # password: "password" # host: "host" # passive: true # production: # multiple environments can be specified # [...] ``` ### If you have your local SSH public key already installed on the remote machine.. (recommended) Just not use the `remote.ssh.password` field on your `Movefile`. Easy peasy. ### If you want to specify SSH password on the Movefile Please take a look at the various gotchas of the underlying [`photocopier` gem](https://github.com/welaika/photocopier#password-gotchas). ### How the heck you are able to sync the DB via FTP? We're glad you asked! We basically upload via FTP a PHP script that performs the various import/export operations. This script then gets executed via HTTP. Don't worry too much about security though: the script is deleted just after the usage, and can only be executed by `wordmove`, as each time it requires a pre-shared one-time-password to be run. ### If you want to specify both relative and absolute wordpress path (FTP relative paths anyone?) Just add in the remote section of the Movefile a `wordpress_absolute_path` field specifying the absolute path (you may need to recover this from the `__FILE__` constant), while using `wordpress_path` for the relative folder path. ### If you want to specify a passive FTP connection Add to the YAML config a `passive` flag set to `true`. * The dump script is the [`MYSQL-dump` PHP package](https://github.com/dg/MySQL-dump) by David Grudl; * The import script used is the [BigDump](http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump/) library; ## License (The MIT License) Copyright © 2013 weLaika Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the ‘Software’), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
