Common tasks

Database dump

Occasionally we need data for development. These commands are run from one of the wordpress-web hosts.

First, set the database credentials from the application in your shell.

$ source /var/www/datagov/current/.env

Then, create a compressed archive.

$ mysqldump -h $DB_HOST -u $DB_USER -p $DB_NAME | gzip > $(date +%Y-%m-%d)-staging-wordpress.sql.gz

Supply the content of $DB_PASSWORD when prompted. You can use scp to retrieve the file.
