This is a Drush extension that creates local sites from variables in drush alias files.

This is a simple as posssible wrapper around Drush commands with a few add-ons. It works only on Ubuntu. Though that is being expanded. For something more feature-rich and extensible see: http://drupal.org/project/fetcher

Commands

Create or update site:

drush buck @mysite

Creates or updates webroot, code, virtual host, /etc/hosts, database and files. It detects if an installation already exists and creates it if it doesn't and updates it if it does. Also fixes permisisons where needed.

Create or update site element:

drush buck-command [command] @mysite

Commands include webserver_config, hosts, databaset, code, and files.

Destory site:

drush buck destroy @mysite

Types of Sites

Buck handles two types of sites.

1) Installation profiles

This requires the following in a alias:

'makefile' => 'link to makefile',```

Optional but helpful:

```'site-name' => 'Name of site',```

### 2) "Regular" Drupal sites

This requires the following in a drush alias:

```'sync-source' => 'name of alias that this site should sync from',```

# Required Elements

Buck requires the following elements:

'git' => array( 'url' => '[git url]', 'branch' => '[git branch]', ),
'root' => '[location of site on server]', 'uri' => '[url]', // Required for "Regular" sites that sync from a non-local source. 'remote-host' => '[CNAME or IP address of remote server]', 'remote-user' => '[Remote server user name]', 'path-aliases' => array( '%files' => 'sites/default/files', '%dump-dir' => '/tmp', ),

# Optional Elements

### 'features-revert'

If this is included, selected features will be reverted after install.

Revert all features:
``` 'features_revert' => TRUE, ```

Revert selected features:

``` 'features_revert' => array('feature1', 'feature2'), ```

# Example Alias

This creates a local version of the DKAN distro:

$aliases['dkan.local'] = array( 'git' => array( 'url' => 'http://git.drupal.org/project/dkan.git', 'branch' => 'master', ), 'root' => '/var/www/dkan', 'makefile' => 'http://drupalcode.org/project/dkan.git/blob_plain/refs/heads/master:/dkan_distro.make', 'profile' => 'dkan', 'uri' => 'dkan.local', 'path-aliases' => array( '%files' => 'sites/default/files', '%dump-dir' => '/tmp', ), 'sync-source' => 'dkan.live', );

# Dumb Assumptions

User who initiates command needs the following permissions:

webadmin ALL = NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/apache2 webadmin ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/a2ensite webadmin ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/dissite webadmin ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/tee -a /etc/hosts webadmin ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/sed -i /etc/hosts

# Extending

If you include 'sync-host' you can override the behavior of the sync_files and
sync_database for selected hosts. Include a example.buck.inc file and it will
autload the commands.

See pantheon.buck.inc for an example.
