Rsync Recipe

require 'contrib/rsync.php';

:::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.

php

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:

php

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:

php

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

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

php

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:
php
```
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.
