Database dumps use [spatie/laravel-db-snapshots](https://github.com/spatie/laravel-db-snapshots) on the remote; file transfers use rsync over SSH. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) Locally: - PHP 8.3+, Laravel 11, 12, or 13 - A `mysql` or `pgsql` database (imports pipe through the `mysql`/`psql` CLI) - `ssh`, `rsync`, and `gzip` on your PATH - SSH key access to the remote On each remote: - `spatie/laravel-db-snapshots` and `laravel/tinker` installed - `rsync` - A PHP binary that satisfies the app. The default `php` is tried first, then versioned binaries (`php8.5`, `php8.4`, ...). You can also pin one with `php_binary` in the config. The remote's snapshot location, database driver, and deployment layout are discovered automatically on every run - the remote's own configuration is what counts, so local and remote snapshot disks do not need to match. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require jorisnoo/laravel-remote-sync php artisan vendor:publish --tag="remote-sync-config" ``` Configure a snapshots disk for spatie/laravel-db-snapshots in `config/filesystems.php` (on both sides, but they may differ): ``` 'disks' => [ 'snapshots' => [ 'driver' => 'local', 'root' => database_path('snapshots'), ], ], ``` Then point your `.env` at the remote: ``` REMOTE_SYNC_PRODUCTION_HOST=forge@your-server.com REMOTE_SYNC_PRODUCTION_PATH=/home/forge/your-app.com ``` Verify the whole setup before the first sync: ``` php artisan remote-sync:doctor ``` Doctor checks your local binaries and, for each configured remote, the SSH host key, application path, PHP binary, installed packages, rsync, and driver compatibility. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) The published `config/remote-sync.php`: ``` return [ 'remotes' => [ 'production' => [ 'host' => env('REMOTE_SYNC_PRODUCTION_HOST'), 'path' => env('REMOTE_SYNC_PRODUCTION_PATH'), 'push' => (bool) env('REMOTE_SYNC_PRODUCTION_PUSH', false), // 'php_binary' => '/usr/bin/php8.4', ], ], // Used when several remotes are configured and none is passed. 'default' => env('REMOTE_SYNC_DEFAULT'), // Storage-relative paths synced by the files scope. 'paths' => ['app'], // Extra rsync excludes. Dotfiles and snapshot directories are always excluded. 'exclude_paths' => [], // Synced as empty tables on pull, preserved on push. The migrations // table is always synced and `migrate --force` runs after every import. 'exclude_tables' => ['cache', 'sessions', 'jobs', /* ... */], // false, or emails / *-wildcards of users to KEEP locally after a pull. 'filter_users' => false, // Pull and push refuse to run when app.env is production unless this is true. 'allow_production' => false, 'timeouts' => [ 'remote' => 300, // short remote commands 'transfer' => 1800, // dumps, imports, rsync transfers ], ]; ``` Add more remotes by repeating the pattern - the env var names follow the remote's key (`staging` reads `REMOTE_SYNC_STAGING_HOST`, and so on). Remotes with missing or placeholder values are rejected with a message naming the exact env var to set. Pulling ------- [](#pulling) ``` php artisan remote-sync:pull ``` Interactively this asks at most three things: which remote (only when several are configured), what to pull (database, files, or both), and one final confirmation - after showing you a plan of exactly what will happen: which tables are imported and truncated, which files are transferred, what a `--delete` pass would remove, and which backup is created. Everything else is a flag: FlagEffect`--database` / `--files`Select the scope (skips the prompt; neither means both)`--full`Import all tables, dropping local tables first`--no-backup`Skip the local `pre-pull-*` backup snapshot`--keep-snapshot`Keep the downloaded snapshot file after import`--delete`Delete local files that no longer exist on the remote`--path=app/public`Sync only specific storage-relative paths (repeatable)`--dry-run`Print the plan and exit without changing anything`--force` / `-f`Answer the final confirmation with yesA standard pull creates a local backup, dumps the remote database (minus `exclude_tables`), downloads and integrity-checks the snapshot, imports it through the `mysql`/`psql` CLI, truncates the excluded tables, then runs `migrate --force` and `optimize:clear`. If the import fails, the downloaded snapshot is kept and the exact restore command for your backup is printed. Deletion is strictly opt-in: `--force` never implies `--delete`, and the plan preview tells you how many local-only files a `--delete` pass would remove before you commit to anything. For a cron or CI refresh: ``` php artisan remote-sync:pull production --database --files --force ``` Without `--force`, non-interactive runs print the plan and exit with an error, so a misconfigured cron line cannot sync anything by accident. Pushing ------- [](#pushing) Pushing overwrites data on the remote, so it is stricter: ``` php artisan remote-sync:push staging --database ``` - The remote must have `'push' => true` in its config. - Non-interactive runs must state the scope explicitly (`--database` and/or `--files`). - The interactive confirmation requires typing `yes`. A database push backs up the remote first (`pre-push-*`), uploads a local snapshot, loads it on the remote without dropping tables (excluded tables are preserved), and runs remote migrations. If the load fails, the restore command for the remote backup is printed. Flags mirror pull: `--no-backup`, `--delete`, `--path=`, `--dry-run`, `--force`. Pruning snapshots ----------------- [](#pruning-snapshots) Transfer snapshots are removed automatically after each run, but backups (`pre-pull-*`, `pre-push-*`) accumulate: ``` php artisan remote-sync:prune # local + remote, keep the 5 newest php artisan remote-sync:prune --local --keep=3 php artisan remote-sync:prune production --remote --dry-run ``` Prune only touches snapshots created by this package (`remote-sync-*`, `pre-pull-*`, `pre-push-*`). Pass `--all` to include your own spatie snapshots as well. Safety ------ [](#safety) - Pull and push refuse to run when the local app environment is production; set `allow_production` to true only when that is intentional (the confirmation then requires a typed `yes`). - One plan preview and one confirmation before anything changes; `--dry-run` everywhere. - Backups are created by default on both directions, and every failure message includes the command to restore. - Unknown SSH hosts show their key fingerprint for review before connecting; changed host keys abort with a man-in-the-middle warning, and non-interactive runs never accept a new host key. - Interrupting a run (Ctrl+C) removes temporary snapshots on both sides. - `filter_users` refuses to act when its patterns would delete every user. Security notes -------------- [](#security-notes) - Database passwords are handed to `mysql`/`psql` via the `MYSQL_PWD`/`PGPASSWORD` environment variables, never as command-line arguments. - Sync paths are validated against a strict character allowlist before being used in remote rsync specs. - Use SSH keys; the package never handles SSH passwords.
