README

This extension syncs raw database tables and selected files of directories between two TYPO3 installations.

This can be used to sync between a "content master" system, where editors work, and a "production" system which does not have a TYPO3 backend available. Both systems are connected via SSH.

This extension is - by design - very simplistic, and for other use-cases we recommend using Workspaces for publishing processes or in2publish as a more sophisticated solution.

Requirements

• MySQL is used as RDBMS and the mysqldump and mysql binaries must be available in the $PATH for PHP
• A SSH Connection to Remote Node by Key Authentication (can be configured via .ssh/config)
• helhum/typo3_console on target and source node must be available

Extension Configuration

• Configure Database Tables and Files to sync
• Configure your Source- and Target Node (TYPO3 Instances)

Backend Access

In order to see and kickstart a content sync, a new toolbar item on top is shown. Access is granted to Admin Users and to non-administrators with UserTSconfig:

options.enableContentSync = 1

Available TYPO3 CLI Commands

content-sync:job:create

creates a new Job from Extension-Configuration

content-sync:runner

runs one waiting job.

content-sync:collect-garbage

checks for any outdated jobs that are still running or waiting due to an error and removes them from the queue.

Ensure to have your scheduler set up.
