I made this script and the database backup, dump, and SVN commit script because I was determined to spend as little time as possible doing sysadmin while setting up dev and staging sites, so that I could spend as much time as possible developing (e.g., the fun stuff). With one command the script can:
- 'svn up' a version controlled database, and upload it to your database
- Run queries against database to set preferred site defaults
- 'svn up' site docroot
- Copy over fresh "files" directory from another site (e.g., production). Note, not a good option if you have your "files" directory version controlled.
- Set owner:group file permissions on all site files
How to
The script should go in non-public, secure directory, which is somewhere below the site doc root. I haven't tried running it with permissions less than sudo, though it may be possible. Invoke by doing:
sh path/to/provision_and_install.sh
Download
provision_and_install.sh.zip
