Database Manager - Laravel Package

Laravel package to manage your databases (including backups) easily in a Laravel project.

Note: This package makes use of the framework-agnostic backup-manager/backup-manager package which this one is a dependency of. For more information (including Symfony driver) see that package.

Credit: This package is based on backup-manager/laravel by Shawn McCool and Mitchell van Wijngaarden. Credit to them for their great work.

Stability Notice

It's stable.

I'm actively using this package in my own Laravel projects for managing backups. I would appreciate all feedback/suggestions you may have by opening a GitHub issue.

Requirements

• PHP 5.5
• Laravel
• MySQL support requires mysqldump and mysql command-line binaries
• PostgreSQL support requires pg_dump and psql command-line binaries
• Gzip support requires gzip and gunzip command-line binaries

Installation

Use Composer

It's super easy.

1. Run the following command: composer require skcin7/database-manager.

2. Publish the configuration file.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="skcin7\DatabaseManager\DatabaseManagerServiceProvider"

After publishing, edit this configuration file (which will be located in config/database-manager.php) to your specific configuration needs.

This package makes use of your database configurations in config/database.php. The package manages your database connections listed in that file.

Artisan Commands

After installation, there will be 3 new Artisan commands available in your project which are: database-manager:create-backup, database-manager:list-backups, and database-manager:restore-backup.

Scheduling Backups

Now you can schedule your Laravel database backups (such as a daily backup) using Laravel Task Scheduling.

Inside app/Console/Kernel.php:

/**
 * Define the application's command schedule.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule  $schedule
 * @return void
 */
 protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
 {
     $schedule->command('database-manager:create-backup')->daily();
 }
