README

This is a proprietary package that is built to simplify MY backup process, it is here on packagist for convenience. Do not use it if you don't know what you are doing.

Requirements

It's essential to have the command mysqldump installed on the deployment machine as this package uses it to create the database dump.

Installation

The installation is easy, remind that this package depends on spatie/laravel-backup package, it will be installed automatically

composer require xv4l3x/backup-interoperator

Usage

If you didn't publish the spatie/laravel-backup config file, you can do it with the command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\Backup\BackupServiceProvider"

Then you can publish the config file of this package with the command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Xv4l3x\BackupInteroperator\BackupInteroperatorServiceProvider"

The config file provides default credentials for the authentication of the backup request, if you want to change them, you have to define the BACKUP_INTEROPERATOR_USERNAME and BACKUP_INTEROPERATOR_PASSWORD environment variables in your .env file.

Configuration

If you are using a remote s3 disk for your backups, just se the right credentials in the .env file:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=username
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=password
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1
AWS_BUCKET=bucket-name
AWS_ENDPOINT=endpoint-address
AWS_USE_PATH_STYLE_ENDPOINT=true

To point the laravel backups to the s3 disk then you should edit the config/backup.php file and set the destination.disks to s3:

'backup' => [
    'destination' => [
        'disks' => [
            's3'
        ]
    ]
]

If you don't want to back up all the source code and you only mind about the storage folder you can change the content of the config/backup.php file to:

'source' => [
    'files' => [
        'include' => [
            storage_path(), // storage/ only
        ],
        'exclude' => [],   // nothing to exclude
        'follow_links' => false,
    ],
    'databases' => [
        'mysql',
    ],
]
