Backup, Sync and Restore Databases and Media

Django sync env

django-sync-env is a Django app to manage backing up and restoring django databases and media assets easily.

Detailed documentation is in the "docs" directory (it's a work in progress).

Requirements:

• configurable backups and restore which can be run on demand, celery cron or in dev.
• support s3 bucket and file storage options first, add azure blob storage later
• interactive prompts for local dev
• command line options with --no-input for CICD and automations
• restore latest option for media and backups for X env
• backup before restore option

Setup

1. Add "django_sync_env" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
   ...,
   "django_sync_env",
   ]

2. Configure the app via a settings file .typically ./settings/partial/sync_env.py for base configuration, don't forget to import this file via your base.py settings file And override any required settings per environment via ./settings/partials/[env].py see example_partials

There is a s3 terraform example for provisioning an aws s3 bucket, iam user, roles and policy to allow for remote backup/restore to/from a secure s3 bucket.

TODO:

• remove command options which we wont use
• make sure all management commands work with good error logging and handling
• Update the sync-env-backup command to enable the option to specify particular databases
• Update the sync-env-backup command to exclude particular tables in particular databases
