Pull database and storage files from remote Laravel environments to your local machine. Uses [spatie/laravel-db-snapshots](https://github.com/spatie/laravel-db-snapshots) for database operations and rsync for file transfers.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.3+
- Laravel 11 or 12
- SSH access to remote host (key-based auth recommended)
- `rsync` installed locally and on remote
- Remote server must have `spatie/laravel-db-snapshots` installed

Snapshot Configuration
----------------------

[](#snapshot-configuration)

This package relies on [spatie/laravel-db-snapshots](https://github.com/spatie/laravel-db-snapshots) for database operations. You need to configure it on both local and remote environments.

### 1. Configure the snapshots disk

[](#1-configure-the-snapshots-disk)

Add a disk for storing snapshots in `config/filesystems.php`:

```
'disks' => [
    'snapshots' => [
        'driver' => 'local',
        'root' => database_path('snapshots'),
    ],
],
```

### 2. Publish the db-snapshots config

[](#2-publish-the-db-snapshots-config)

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\DbSnapshots\DbSnapshotsServiceProvider"
```

### 3. Ensure config parity

[](#3-ensure-config-parity)

> **Important:** The snapshot filesystem configuration must be identical on both local and remote environments. This package uses your local `db-snapshots.disk` configuration to determine where snapshots are stored on the remote server. If the remote has a different snapshot path configured, pull operations will fail.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require jorisnoo/laravel-remote-sync
```

Publish the config file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="remote-sync-config"
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Add your remote environments to `config/remote-sync.php` or use environment variables:

```
REMOTE_SYNC_PRODUCTION_HOST=forge@your-server
REMOTE_SYNC_PRODUCTION_PATH=/home/forge/your-app.com

REMOTE_SYNC_STAGING_HOST=forge@staging-server
REMOTE_SYNC_STAGING_PATH=/home/forge/staging.your-app.com

REMOTE_SYNC_DEFAULT=production
```

### Config Options

[](#config-options)

```
return [
    'remotes' => [
        'production' => [
            'host' => env('REMOTE_SYNC_PRODUCTION_HOST'),
            'path' => env('REMOTE_SYNC_PRODUCTION_PATH'),
        ],
    ],

    'default' => env('REMOTE_SYNC_DEFAULT', 'production'),

    // Storage paths to sync (relative to storage/)
    'paths' => [
        'app',
    ],

    // Tables to exclude from database snapshots
    'exclude_tables' => [
        'cache',
        'cache_locks',
        'sessions',
    ],

    // Timeouts in seconds
    'timeouts' => [
        'snapshot_create' => 300,
        'snapshot_download' => 600,
        'snapshot_cleanup' => 60,
        'file_sync' => 1800,
    ],
];
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Interactive Pull

[](#interactive-pull)

```
php artisan remote-sync:pull
```

Prompts you to select a remote and what to pull (database, files, or both).

Options:

- `--no-backup` - Skip creating a local backup before pulling
- `--keep-snapshot` - Keep the downloaded snapshot file after loading
- `--full` - Include all tables (ignores `exclude_tables` config) and drops all local tables before loading

### Pull Database Only

[](#pull-database-only)

```
php artisan remote-sync:pull-db production
```

Options:

- `--no-backup` - Skip creating a local backup before pulling
- `--keep-snapshot` - Keep the downloaded snapshot file after loading
- `--full` - Include all tables (ignores `exclude_tables` config) and drops all local tables before loading

### Pull Files Only

[](#pull-files-only)

```
php artisan remote-sync:pull-files production
```

Options:

- `--path=app/uploads` - Sync only a specific path
- `--delete` - Delete local files that don't exist on remote

### Push Commands

[](#push-commands)

Push local data to a remote (requires `push_allowed: true` in config):

```
php artisan remote-sync:push              # Interactive
php artisan remote-sync:push-db     # Database only
php artisan remote-sync:push-files        # Files only
```

### Cleanup Snapshots

[](#cleanup-snapshots)

Remove old database snapshots from local and/or remote storage:

```
php artisan remote-sync:cleanup-snapshots
```

Options:

- `--local` - Only cleanup local snapshots
- `--remote` - Only cleanup remote snapshots
- `--keep=5` - Number of most recent snapshots to keep (default: 5)
- `--force` - Skip confirmation prompt
- `--dry-run` - Show what would be deleted without actually deleting

Examples:

```
# Cleanup both local and remote (interactive)
php artisan remote-sync:cleanup-snapshots

# Cleanup only local, keep 3 most recent
php artisan remote-sync:cleanup-snapshots --local --keep=3

# Cleanup only remote production snapshots
php artisan remote-sync:cleanup-snapshots production --remote

# Preview what would be deleted
php artisan remote-sync:cleanup-snapshots --dry-run

# Automated cleanup (cron-friendly)
php artisan remote-sync:cleanup-snapshots production --force --keep=5
```

Atomic Deployments
------------------

[](#atomic-deployments)

The package automatically detects if your remote server uses atomic deployments (Envoyer, Laravel Deployer, etc.) by checking for a `/current` symlink. When detected, it uses the correct working path.

- If `/current` exists → uses `{path}/current` as the working directory
- If `/current` doesn't exist → uses `{path}` directly

If your path already ends in `/current`, detection is skipped and atomic mode is assumed.

Safety Features
---------------

[](#safety-features)

- Commands refuse to run in production environment
- Confirmation prompt before syncing
- Local database backup created before pulling (unless `--no-backup`)
- Graceful cleanup on interrupt (Ctrl+C)

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

```
composer test
```
