Rails plugin for syncing production database and files to local development server.

To install, just add Data sync to your vendor/plugins directory:

rails plugin install git://github.com/carr/data_sync.git

• Capistrano
• add gem capistrano to your Gemfile

For pulling the database of the remote server

rake db:pull

For pulling the database and the files of the remote server

rake data:pull

If you're planning to use this with MongoDB your config/database.yml should use mongodb as adapter value.

• development:
• adapter: mongodb
• database: surveys-development
• host: localhost
• ...

And initalizer for MongoDB in config/initializers/mongo.rb default_mongodb_port = 27107

database_configurations = YAML::load(File.read(Rails.root.join('config', 'database.yml')))

if database_configurations[Rails.env] && database_configurations[Rails.env]['adapter'] == 'mongodb'
    database = database_configurations[Rails.env]
    database['port'] ||= default_mongodb_port

    MongoMapper.connection = Mongo::Connection.new(database['hostname'], database['port'])
    MongoMapper.database = database['database']

    if defined?(PhusionPassenger)
        PhusionPassenger.on_event(:starting_worker_process) do |forked|
            MongoMapper.connection.connect_to_master if forked
        end
    end
end

• Prompt ("All files will be overwritten..")
• database and files push
• change usage to "push:files", "push:db", "push:data", "pull:files", "pull:db", "pull:files"
• refactor rake task, duplicate code
