Deploy Extender adds bidirectional database and storage synchronization to RainLab.Deploy.

Push your local database and files to production, or pull remote data to your development environment — with automatic backups, step-by-step progress logging, and selective sync options.

Features

  • Sync Push (Local → Remote) — Push database, media, and uploads to your remote server
  • Sync Pull (Remote → Local) — Pull remote database, media, and uploads to your local environment
  • Deploy Uploads — Adds upload file deployment to the standard RainLab Deploy workflow
  • Automatic Backups — Full database backup created before every destructive operation
  • Skip Backend Users — Preserve admin accounts on either side during sync
  • Safety Exclusions — Deploy tables, event logs, sessions, cache, and job queues are never synced
  • Step-by-Step Progress — Live progress log showing each operation as it executes
  • Sync History — Full log of all sync operations with status, counts, and backup paths
  • Console Commands — Run sync push, pull, and upload deploy from the command line
  • Remote DB Backup — Download a full database dump from any connected server

Usage

Sync Push (Local → Remote)

  1. Go to Settings → Deploy → Servers and open a server in Manage mode
  2. Click Sync Push: Local → Remote
  3. Select what to sync: Database, Media files, Upload files

Deploy Uploads

When deploying via the standard RainLab Deploy interface, a new Deploy Upload Files checkbox appears. Check it to include storage/app/uploads in the deployment package.

Remote Database Backup

Click Backup Remote DB on any server to download a full database dump (all tables, no exclusions) to storage/app/deploy-backups/.

Console Commands

php artisan deployextender:sync-push {server_id} [--skip-users] [--db] [--media] [--uploads]
php artisan deployextender:sync-pull {server_id} [--skip-users] [--db] [--media] [--uploads]
php artisan deployextender:deploy-uploads {server_id}

Sync Logs

View all sync history at Settings → Deploy Extender → Sync Logs. Each entry shows direction, status, table/file counts, duration, and backup file path.

Excluded Tables

The following tables are always excluded from sync to prevent conflicts:

  • deploy_* (RainLab Deploy tables)
  • sessions, cache, jobs, failed_jobs
  • system_event_logs, system_request_logs

Permissions

  • Manage sync operations — pear.deployextender.manage_sync
  • View sync logs — pear.deployextender.view_logs
