warning

This must not be confused with /src/Utility/Rsync.php, deployer's built-in rsync. Their configuration options are also very different, read carefully below.

Configuration options

  • rsync: Accepts an array with following rsync options (all are optional and defaults are ok):
    • exclude: accepts an array with patterns to be excluded from sending to server
    • exclude-file: accepts a string containing absolute path to file, which contains exclude patterns
    • include: accepts an array with patterns to be included in sending to server
    • include-file: accepts a string containing absolute path to file, which contains include patterns
    • filter: accepts an array of rsync filter rules
    • filter-file: accepts a string containing merge-file filename.
    • filter-perdir: accepts a string containing merge-file filename to be scanned and merger per each directory in rsync list on files to send
    • flags: accepts a string of flags to set when calling rsync command. Please avoid flags that accept params, and use options instead.
    • options: accepts an array of options to set when calling rsync command. DO NOT prefix options with -- as it's automatically added.
    • timeout: accepts an int defining timeout for rsync command to run locally.

Sample Configuration:

Following is default configuration. By default rsync ignores only git dir and deploy.php file.

deploy.php

set('rsync',[
'exclude' => [
'.git',
'deploy.php',
],
'exclude-file' => false,
'include' => [],
'include-file' => false,
'filter' => [],
'filter-file' => false,
'filter-perdir'=> false,
'flags' => 'rz', // Recursive, with compress
'options' => ['delete'],
'timeout' => 60,
]);

If You have multiple excludes, You can put them in file and reference that instead. If You use deploy:rsync_warmup You could set additional options that could speed-up and/or affect way things are working. For example:

deploy.php

set('rsync',[
'exclude' => ['excludes_file'],
'exclude-file' => '/tmp/localdeploys/excludes_file', //Use absolute path to avoid possible rsync problems
'include' => [],
'include-file' => false,
'filter' => [],
'filter-file' => false,
'filter-perdir' => false,
'flags' => 'rzcE', // Recursive, with compress, check based on checksum rather than time/size, preserve Executable flag
'options' => ['delete', 'delete-after', 'force'], //Delete after successful transfer, delete even if deleted dir is not empty
'timeout' => 3600, //for those huge repos or crappy connection
]);

Parameter

  • rsync_src: per-host rsync source. This can be server, stage or whatever-dependent. By default it's set to current directory
  • rsync_dest: per-host rsync destination. This can be server, stage or whatever-dependent. by default it's equivalent to release deploy destination.

Sample configurations:

This is default configuration:

set('rsync_src', __DIR__);
set('rsync_dest','{{release_path}}');

If You use local deploy recipe You can set src to local release:

host('hostname')
->hostname('10.10.10.10')
->port(22)
->set('deploy_path','/your/remote/path/app')
->set('rsync_src', '/your/local/path/app')
->set('rsync_dest','{{release_path}}');

Usage

  • rsync task

    Set rsync_src to locally cloned repository and rsync to rsync_dest. Then set this task instead of deploy:update_code in Your deploy task if Your hosting provider does not allow git.

  • rsync:warmup task

    If Your deploy task looks like:

    task('deploy', [
    'deploy:prepare',
    'deploy:release',
    'rsync',
    'deploy:vendors',
    'deploy:symlink',
    ])->desc('Deploy your project');

    And Your rsync_dest is set to {{release_path}} then You could add this task to run before rsync task or after deploy:release, whatever is more convenient.
