SyncWP

A quick script that helps migrate sites hosted with the help of EasyEngine, into your local Lando work environment. This work in progress script has already gotten the time I need to migrate a few sites from 20-60 minutes down to about 3-5 minutes. Goodbye you pesky backup plugins!

THIS SCRIPT IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT.

Installation Steps:

• run pip install git+https://github.com/hithismani/syncwp

Requirements & Use Case

• http://EasyEngine.io on your wordpress server.
• https://lando.dev/ (and Docker) on your local wordpress machine.

Usage:

• Cd into your Lando Wordpress Folder

• If you're pulling from a live server:

  • Run syncwp -domain <host url as in database> -local <local server url> -host <host ip to ssh> -user <ssh username> -password <ssh password> -dev S -server <commands>

• If you're pushing from a local machine:

  • Run syncwp -domain <host url as in database> -local <local server url> -host <host ip to ssh> -user <ssh username> -password <ssh password> -dev <commands> -server S

Features

• Exports Database (into SQL) and Wp-Content (as .tar.gz) file, for migration with a single command. Optionally deletes the backup file after download.
• Runs a 'find replace' in the database during the time of migration to ensure links are not broken.
• SSH's into the server and performs all migration tasks as specified.
