Remote Provider Pull

The pull addon was recently a core command but has moved to an addon command.

fin pull command allows you to easily bring your assets: db, files, and code from your hosting environment down to your local environment without manually running through the steps.

Installation

fin addon install --global pull

Requirements

Acquia

To interact with Acquia through the Acquia CLI, the SECRET_ACQUIA_CLI_SECRET and SECRET_ACQUIA_CLI_KEY are required. Additionally, access to the Acquia Cloud API is required. If access is not allowed, fallback to using the Drush method.

More information on working with Acquia CLI in Docksal.

Pantheon

Interacting with Pantheon requires that the SECRET_TERMINUS_TOKEN is set. More information on generating tokens can be found in Pantheon's documentation.

More information on working with Pantheon in Docksal.

Platform.sh

Interacting with Platform.sh requires that the SECRET_PLATFORMSH_CLI_TOKEN is set. For more information on creating CLI tokens for use with the Platform.sh CLI tool, consult with Platform's documentation.

More information on working with Platform.sh in Docksal.

Drupal / Drush

A Drush site alias must be set up within the project and recognized when running the fin drush sa command to use the Drush provider integration. An example of a site alias file for Drush 8, Drush 9 and Drush 10 can be found within the Drush project.

An example of what remote.site.yml would look like:

dev:
  host: 1.1.1.1
  paths:
    dump-dir: /home/remote-user/backup/
  root: /var/www/drupal8/docroot
  uri: example.com
  user: remote-user

The following is an example of example.aliases.drushrc.php:

<?php

$aliases['dev'] = array(
  'remote-host' => 'server.domain.com',
  'remote-user' => 'www-admin',
  'root' => '/other/path/to/drupal',
  'uri' => 'http://example.com',
);

WordPress / WP-CLI

To use the WP-CLI provider integration, an alias must be set up within the project. For instructions on setting up a wp-cli.yml file or a config file, consult the WordPress WP-CLI Config Documentation.

Example of what wp-cli.yml would look like:

@remote:
  ssh: [email protected]/var/www/wordpress/docroot
  url: http://example.com

Initializing Project

If you are not using an initializing process for a specific provider and are starting from an already existing project, you can take advantage of the fin pull command by setting the HOSTING_PLATFORM and HOSTING_SITE variables within the project's .docksal/docksal.env file.

fin config set HOSTING_PLATFORM=[provider]

fin config set HOSTING_SITE="[remote name]"

# WordPress is the only provider that doesn't need to use this.
fin config set HOSTING_ENV="[remote env]"

If you are starting from scratch, the following command can be used to pull code and start the project locally:

fin pull init \
    --hosting-platform=<platform> \
    --hosting-site=<site> \
    --hosting-env=<env> \
    <directory_name>

Acquia / Pantheon / Platform.sh

Additionally, the --hosting-env option can be used to specify exactly which environment on Acquia Cloud that should be used. If it isn't used, the dev environment is used by default.

Drush / WP-CLI

Drupal and WordPress Providers are supported but require a GIT URL that can be cloned.

fin pull init \
    --hosting-platform=drush \
    --hosting-site="example" \
    my_new_site \
    https://github.com/docksal/drupal8.git

Pulling Code

Pulling code utilizes the project's existing git remotes and allows for the project to pull in the latest code from the remote.

To pull code use the argument code. This will default to pulling origin and then pulling the current branch. If a different branch or remote is required, those can be specified using the flags --sync-git-remote and --sync-git-branch.

Example

# Default Pull From Origin and current branch.
fin pull code

# Pull from the production remote.
fin pull code --sync-git-remote=production

# Pull the dev branch.
fin pull code --sync-git-branch=dev

# Pull from the github remote and the rc branch.
fin pull code --sync-git-remote=github --sync-git-branch=rc

  --sync-git-remote             The GIT Remote to pull from. (Defaults to origin)
  --sync-git-branch             The GIT Branch to pull from. (Defaults to current branch)

Pulling Database

To pull a database from the remote, run the pull db command. When pulling the database, it stays cached within your cli container for a period of one (1) hour. If at any point this needs to be updated, use the --force option as this will bypass the database and reimport.

fin pull db

When pulling there are some additional options that can be used for importing the data.

  --db-user=<user>               Specify the DB User (Defaults to root)
  --db-pass=<pass>               Specify the DB Password (Defaults to root)
  --db-name=<dbname>             Specify the DB Name to import into. (Defaults to default)
  --force                       Force a new database file to be pulled
  --remote-db=<remote_db>       Specify the remote DB name to pull. (Used with Acquia)
  --progress                    Show import progress

NOTICE Acquia has the ability to host a Drupal multi-site which allow multiple databases within the Acquia cloud that can be accessed. A database can be pulled down using the --remote-db option where the remote db is the database within the site's dashboard.

Pulling Files

Pulling down the files from an environment can sometimes be a lengthy process, especially if you only want new files or updated files. Using the rsync command can help you with that process, but trying to remember the rsync command and options you need for the files to pull specifically can be challenging.

fin pull files

Additional options can be used to help rsync the files locally.

  --rsync-options=<options>     Rsync Options to append.
  --files-dir=<dir>             Directory to sync files with.
                                Default Drupal: {DOCROOT}/sites/default/files/
                                Wordpress Default: {DOCROOT}/wp-content/uploads/

NOTICE Due to limitations with WP-CLI, file syncing is not supported for wordpress at this time. Please check back later as we are working on this feature.

Pulling All

When no options are provided, fin pull will run through all items (code, db, and files) and pull from the provided hosting environment. All of the arguments will be passed through to the appropriate assets.

fin pull
