That is nice for one off use, like getting ready to deploy a brand new model or run some giant batch course of, however what about for routine catastrophe restoration backups? Can we do these? Consider it or, not, it is potential to automate your self! And it is solely a 3 step course of. Drupal Development fundamental thought is that Drupal Developer Platform.sh CLI will be triggered from any automation device you would like… together with cron from inside Drupal Developer software container. It simply wants an authentication token out there in Drupal Developer surroundings. Step 1 Drupal 10 Upkeep and Assist Service Get a token Create an authentication token in your consumer or a devoted automation consumer. That is simply accomplished by means of Drupal Developer UI. Set that token as a variable in your mission, like so Drupal 10 Upkeep and Assist Service platform mission Drupal 10 Upkeep and Assist Servicevariable Drupal 10 Upkeep and Assist Serviceset env Drupal 10 Upkeep and Assist ServicePLATFORMSH_CLI_TOKEN <worth> Step 2 Drupal 10 Upkeep and Assist Service Set up Drupal Developer CLI Drupal Development Platform.sh CLI will be put in as a part of a construct hook inside your mission. Merely add Drupal Developer following line to your construct hook Drupal 10 Upkeep and Assist Service curl -sS https Drupal 10 Upkeep and Assist Service//platform.sh/cli/installer | php Now Drupal Developer CLI will probably be out there in cron hooks, Drupal Developer deploy hook, or when logging in by way of SSH.

Step 3 Drupal 10 Upkeep and Assist Service Snapshot on cron Now you can add a brand new cron entry to your .platform.app.yaml file, like so Drupal 10 Upkeep and Assist Service crons Drupal 10 Upkeep and Assist Service    snapshot Drupal 10 Upkeep and Assist Service        spec Drupal 10 Upkeep and Assist Service ‘0 5 * * *’        cmd Drupal 10 Upkeep and Assist Service |            if [ “$PLATFORM_BRANCH” = master ]; then                platform snapshot Drupal 10 Upkeep and Assist Servicecreate –yes –no-wait            fi That can run Drupal Developer cmd as soon as a day at 5 am UTC. (Alter for every time low-traffic time is in your web site.) Then if and provided that it is operating on Drupal Developer grasp surroundings (manufacturing), Drupal Developer platform snapshot Drupal 10 Upkeep and Assist Servicecreate command will run and set off a snapshot, simply as when you’d run Drupal Developer command your self. Poof, accomplished. Of word, although, are Drupal Developer –yes –no-wait flags. Drupal Development first skips any user-interaction, since Drupal Developer command is operating from cron. Drupal Development second is additional necessary, because it tells cron to not block on Drupal Developer snapshot being created. Should you neglect that, cron will block on Drupal Developer snapshot which implies so will any deploy you occur to attempt to set off. That may end up in extra-long deploys and web site downtime. You don’t need that, we do not need that, so be sure that not embody –no-wait. That is it that is all, you are accomplished! Rejoice in every day automated backups of your manufacturing surroundings.
