README

PHP port of db-sync-tool — synchronize databases (and optionally files) between local and remote systems over SSH/rsync/SFTP, with framework credential auto-detection for TYPO3, Symfony, Drupal, WordPress and Laravel.

📖 Read the documentation

✨ Features

• Synchronize databases between local and remote systems
• MySQL, MariaDB and PostgreSQL
• Declarative data anonymization for GDPR-safe copies
• Named environments with init, pull and push
• Guards against overwriting the wrong database: confirmation prompt, protected hosts, and an optional backup of the target before the import
• Optional file synchronization over SSH/rsync/SFTP
• Framework credential auto-detection for TYPO3, Symfony, Drupal, WordPress and Laravel

🔥 Installation

composer require konradmichalik/php-sync-tool

Or use the standalone PHAR build (sync-tool.phar), see Installation.

Important

Needs PHP 8.2+, the client for your database system on the executing host(s) (mysql/mysqldump, or psql/pg_dump for PostgreSQL), gzip/gunzip, and rsync (optionally sshpass for password-based rsync).

🚀 Quick start

bin/sync-tool init            # writes .sync-tool/ for this project
bin/sync-tool pull production # that environment's database into this project

Called with no arguments on a terminal, the tool offers every sync it finds and runs the one you pick. See the CLI Reference for explicit configuration files, named hosts and the full option list.
