dev_dump

DevDump

Provides Rake tasks to dump a database to an encrypted file on a remote server, download the file, and restore a local DB from the file.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'dev_dump'

And then execute:

$ bundle

This depends on gpg. Install it on OS X with brew install gpg.

Usage

rake dev_dump:dump # run from the app root on production. dump postgres DB to a file. supply a passphrase for gpg encryption.
rake dev_dump:download_file[/path/to/file/on/prod] # run from developer machine, with a file path in mind
rake dev_dump:load[/path/to/local/file] # run after the dump file is downloaded

Configuration

Configuration can be provided with a Rails initializer as a configuration file, following this approach.

DevDump.configure do |config|
  config.backups_path = "/tmp/some_dir"
  config.ssh_user = "user"
  config.ssh_host = "host.server.com"
end
