What does it do?

This package provides settings to use package sourcebroker/deployer-extended-database with TYPO3 CMS. It allows to sync database between instances.

Installation

1. Install package with composer:

   composer require sourcebroker/deployer-typo3-database
   

2. Put the following lines at the beginning of your deploy.php:

   require_once(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');
   new \SourceBroker\DeployerLoader\Loader([
     ['get' => 'sourcebroker/deployer-typo3-database'],
   ]);

3. On each instance create a .env (or .env.local) file which should be out of git and have at least INSTANCE with the same name as defined for host() in deploy.php. You can use this file also to store database credentials and any other settings that are different per instance. Example for .env file:

   TYPO3_CONTEXT='Production'
   INSTANCE='production'
   
   TYPO3__DB__Connections__Default__dbname='t3base13_production'
   TYPO3__DB__Connections__Default__host='127.0.0.1'
   TYPO3__DB__Connections__Default__password='password'
   TYPO3__DB__Connections__Default__port='3306'
   TYPO3__DB__Connections__Default__user='t3base13_production'

   If you want Deployer to get database data from TYPO3 directly instead of reading from .env file then set:

   set('driver_typo3cms', true);

   As an alternative you can also not create any .env file but make sure that the env variable INSTANCE exists in the system at hosts defined in Deployer (and also at your local host). For example, at local ddev level you can define it in .ddev/config.yaml:

   web_environment:
     - INSTANCE=local

Synchronizing database

The command for synchronizing database from production database to local instance is:

dep db:pull production

The command for synchronizing database from production to staging is:

dep db:copy production --options=target:staging

Example of working configuration

This is an example of working configuration for TYPO3 13:

<?php

namespace Deployer;

require_once(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');

new \SourceBroker\DeployerLoader\Loader([
  ['get' => 'sourcebroker/deployer-typo3-database'],
]);

host('production')
    ->setHostname('vm-dev.example.com')
    ->setRemoteUser('deploy')
    ->set('bin/php', '/usr/bin/php8.4');
    ->set('deploy_path', '~/t3base13/production');

host('staging')
    ->setHostname('vm-dev.example.com')
    ->setRemoteUser('deploy')
    ->set('bin/php', '/usr/bin/php8.4');
    ->set('deploy_path', '~/t3base13/staging');
