Making backups and migrating data
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
With Tutor, all data are stored in a single folder. This means that it's extremely easy to migrate an existing platform to a different server. For instance, it's possible to configure a platform locally on a laptop, and then move this platform to a production server.
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure `tutor` is installed on both servers with the same version.
|
|
2. Stop any running platform on server 1::
|
|
|
|
tutor local stop
|
|
|
|
3. Transfer the configuration, environment, and platform data from server 1 to server 2::
|
|
|
|
sudo rsync -avr "$(tutor config printroot)/" username@server2:/tmp/tutor/
|
|
|
|
4. On server 2, move the data to the right location::
|
|
|
|
mv /tmp/tutor "$(tutor config printroot)"
|
|
|
|
5. Start the instance with::
|
|
|
|
tutor local start -d
|
|
|
|
Making database dumps
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
To dump all data from the MySQL and Mongodb databases used on the platform, run the following commands::
|
|
|
|
tutor local exec \
|
|
-e USERNAME="$(tutor config printvalue MYSQL_ROOT_USERNAME)" \
|
|
-e PASSWORD="$(tutor config printvalue MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD)" \
|
|
mysql sh -c 'mysqldump --all-databases --user=$USERNAME --password=$PASSWORD > /var/lib/mysql/dump.sql'
|
|
tutor local exec mongodb mongodump --out=/data/db/dump.mongodb
|
|
|
|
The ``dump.sql`` and ``dump.mongodb`` files will be located in ``$(tutor config printroot)/data/mysql`` and ``$(tutor config printroot)/data/mongodb``.
