© Simon Firesphere Erkelens; Moss Mossman Cantwell

Usage:

  sspy [create|load|extract] (db|assets) --file=my.sspak --db=mydb.tar.gz --assets=myassets.tar.gz --webroot=relative/path/to/webroot

the db and assets commands are optional.

This script should preferably be run from the webroot of the site

Arguments:

create
       db     Only create a database snapshot
       assets Only create an assets snapshot
       none   Create a full snapshot
load
       No arguments required, it detects if there is a database or assets
       Warning: No backup of database or assets will be created!
extract
       No arguments required. The SSPAK file will be extracted in to database.sql.gz and assets.tar.gz

Parameters

--file=|-f 
             Required, path to the sspak. E.g. --file=my.sspak or -f my.sspak
             (note, no = sign for the shorthand!
--db=|-d 
             Optional, path to existing database file, e.g. --db=mydatabase.sql.gz or -d mydatabase.sql.gz to create the sspak from existing sources
             (note, no = sign for the shorthand!
--assets=|-a 
             Optional, path to existing assets file, e.g. --assets=myassets.tar.gz or -a myassets.tar.gz to create the sspak from existing sources
             (note, no = sign for the shorthand!

---

--webroot=|-w 
              Optional, relative path from the current location to the webroot

Options

Option	Description
create	Create a new sspak
load	Load an existing sspak

Optional options

Sub option	Description
db	Database only
assets	Assets only

Arguments

Argument	Description	Default	Required
--file	The file to read or write	None	Yes
--db	Path to the database sql.gz file to create from existing	None	No
--assets	Path to the assets tar.gz file to create from existing	None	No
--webroot	Relative path to the webroot from the current location	.	No

Shorthands are available, instead of --file you can use -f, instead of --db you can use -d and instead of --assets you can use -a and instead of --webroot you can use -w

Note that using shorthand commands, it should be -f myfile.sspak instead of --file=myfile.sspak

The db and assets arguments are optional. If omitted, the actual database and assets folder will be used.

The file name can be anything, but will be appended with .sspak if the file name does not have the correct extension.

CAUTION Not providing a unique file name, might cause a single sspak to be loaded with the same files over and over, appending data to them instead of replacing!

Building
