Rails app rake and capistrano tasks to create and restore dumps of database and assets.
Works with rails 2 and rails 3.
Requires at least ruby 1.8.7, tested with ruby 1.9.
Put in Gemfile if you are using bundler:
gem 'dump'
Install as plugin for rails 3 (not recommended):
rails plugin install git://github.com/toy/dump.git
Install as plugin for rails 2:
script/plugin install git://github.com/toy/dump.git
To get capistrano tasks in rails 3, put in config/deploy.rb:
require 'dump/capistrano'
config/assets holds paths of dirs you want to dump in file:
public/audios
public/flash
public/images/upload
public/videos
Generate in rails 3:
rails generate assets_config
Generate in rails 2:
script/generate assets_config
When using cap tasks, dump folder should be in persistent place and be linked to application folder, or you will lose all dumps every deploy. Default recipe creates link on after deploy:update_code.
You can use cap dump:* tasks to control dumps on remote server. Don't forget to deploy application to remote server before using dump:remote tasks. Also you can set custom remote rake binary in your deploy.rb like:
set :rake, "/custom/rake"
# create dump
rake dump
rake dump:create
# list avaliable dumps
rake dump:versions
# restore dump
rake dump:restore
# delete old and unfinished dumps (all non tgz files will be deleted if they are not locked)
rake dump:cleanup
DESC, DESCRIPTION — free form description of dump
rake dump DESC='uploaded photos'
TAGS, TAG — comma separated list of tags
rake dump TAGS='photos,videos'
ASSETS — comma or colon separated list of paths or globs to dump
rake dump ASSETS='public/system:public/images/masks/*'
rake dump ASSETS='public/system,public/images/masks/*'
TABLES — comma separated list of tables to dump or if prefixed by "-" — to skip; by default only sessions table is skipped; schema_info and schema_migrations are always included if they are present
dump all tables except sessions:
rake dump
dump all tables:
rake dump TABLES='-'
dump only people, pages and photos tables:
rake dump TABLES='people,pages,photos'
dump all tables except people and pages:
rake dump TABLES='-people,pages'
LIKE, VER, VERSION — filter dumps by full dump name
rake dump:versions LIKE='2009'
rake dump:restore LIKE='2009' # restores last dump matching 2009
TAGS, TAG — comma separated list of tags
without '+' or '-' — dump should have any of such tags
prefixed with '+' — dump should have every tag with prefix
prefixed with '-' — dump should not have any of tags with prefix
select dumps with tags photos or videos:
rake dump:restore TAGS='photos,videos'
select dumps with tags photos and videos:
rake dump:restore TAGS='+photos,+videos'
skip dumps with tags mirror and archive:
rake dump:restore TAGS='-mirror,-archive'
select dumps with tags photos or videos, with tag important and without mirror:
rake dump:restore TAGS='photos,videos,+important,-mirror'
MIGRATE_DOWN — don't run down for migrations not present in dump if you pass "0", "no" or "false"; pass "reset" to recreate (drop and create) db
by default all migrations which are not present in dump are ran down
don't run down for migrations:
rake dump:restore MIGRATE_DOWN=no
reset database:
rake dump:restore MIGRATE_DOWN=reset
RESTORE_SCHEMA — don't read/change schema if you pass "0", "no" or "false" (useful to just restore data for table; note that schema info tables are also not restored)
don't restore schema:
rake dump:restore RESTORE_SCHEMA=no
RESTORE_TABLES — works as TABLES, but for restoring
restores only people, pages and photos tables:
rake dump RESTORE_TABLES='people,pages,photos'
restores all tables except people and pages:
rake dump TABLES='-people,pages'
RESTORE_ASSETS — works as ASSETS, but for restoring
rake dump RESTORE_ASSETS='public/system/a,public/system/b'
rake dump RESTORE_ASSETS='public/system/a:public/images/masks/*/new*'
LIKE, VER, VERSION and TAG, TAGS as for restoring
SUMMARY — output info about dump: "1", "true" or "yes" for basic info, "2" or "schema" to display schema as well
rake dump:versions SUMMARY=1
rake dump:versions SUMMARY=full # output schema too
LIKE, VER, VERSION and TAG, TAGS as for restoring
LEAVE — number of dumps to leave
rake dump:cleanup LEAVE=10
rake dump:cleanup LEAVE=none
For all cap commands environment variables are same as for rake tasks
TRANSFER_VIA — transfer method (rsync, sftp or scp)
By default transferring task will try to transfer using rsync if it is present, else it will try to use sftp and scp
force transfer using scp:
cap dump:remote:download TRANSFER_VIA=scp
cap dump:mirror:down TRANSFER_VIA=scp
BACKUP, AUTOBACKUP, AUTO_BACKUP — no autobackup if you pass "0", "no" or "false"
by default backup is created before mirroring
don't create backup:
cap dump:mirror:down BACKUP=0
cap dump:mirror:down AUTOBACKUP=no
cap dump:mirror:down AUTO_BACKUP=false
cap dump:local
cap dump:local:create
cap dump:local:restore
cap dump:local:versions
cap dump:local:cleanup
cap dump:remote
cap dump:remote:create
cap dump:remote:restore
cap dump:remote:versions
cap dump:remote:cleanup
transfer selected dump to remote server:
cap dump:local:upload
transfer selected dump to local:
cap dump:remote:download
mirror local to remote (create local dump, upload it to remote and restore it there):
cap dump:mirror:up
mirror remote to local (create remote dump, download it from remote and restore on local):
cap dump:mirror:down
backup remote on local (create remote dump and download it):
cap dump:backup:create
restore backup (upload dump and restore on remote):
cap dump:backup:restore
