<-[[.:start]] ====== Dokuwiki Mirror ====== I'm running a **SANDBOX** installation of dokuwiki on the small headless server in have in the shack. /* It's at [[http://gm4slv.plus.com:42110/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=start]] */ This is to allow me to mess around with templates and layouts and things without impacting the //real// wiki. To give it some data - a full mirror of the existing //real// wiki - I've used ''rsync'' cd /var/www/html/ sudo rsync -av --delete gm4slv@gm4slv.org.uk:/var/www/html/dokuwiki/ ./dokuwiki/ This copies the //production// wiki into the web server root on the little //sandbox// machine. **UPDATE --- //John Pumford-Green 27/04/23 05:53//** Added ''--delete'' to the command, to remove pages in the Mirror copy that have been deleted from the VPS (production) server, to keep them properly in step. I can then play around to my heart's content. The same mechanism would work to retrieve/install the whole wiki from a [[public:computers:dokuwiki_backup|backup]] I've put it in a shell script: #!/bin/bash WEBDIR=/var/www/html/dokuwiki/ SERVERDIR=/var/www/html/dokuwiki/ SERVER=gm4slv.org.uk sudo rsync -e "ssh -l gm4slv -i /home/gm4slv/.ssh/id_rsa" -av $SERVER:$SERVERDIR $WEBDIR This means I can automate the mirroring with ''crontab'' of I wanted to, but it would mean the //sandbox// will lose any local modifications I've done. Perhaps it's best to keep the option to //revert to production version// as something I do from time to time, rather then automatically.
