Introduction

In this guide we'll describe some usefult scripts we added to our repo. We don't explain how create a secure installation of Drupal, because every usercase needs a personal installation. If you need help, please write to our mailing list (gruppo-web at ubuntu-it dot org)

If you need to install it as developer, please see developer installation guide

Scripts

Backup

In scripts/ folder there is a script called backup.sh

You can use it to backup your database, if your installation is based on Postgresql You have to specify the folder where backups have to be saved and the name of the database. The script uses pg_dump. Suggestion: indicate the complete path.

Use as ./backup.sh ~/backupFolder databaseName

Public dump

If you need to share the dump of your database, remove before private informations with sql_scrub_dump.sh, in the root directory

It's a script to create a scrubbed version of a pgsql 9.x database dump using a temp database as intermediary.

You need a file named 'scrub.sql' with querys to scrub the db. We added one for our needs, check if all private dare are deleted before share your dump

Use as ./sql_scrub_dump.sh dump_file_input.tar.gz dump_file_output.tar.gz

Of course you need to launch it with a user which has a role to create database in Postgresql

Update the installation

We take this installation as update as we can. As soon a new Drupal version is released, we test it and update the repo. You need to run git to update your installation of, if you prefer, you can ask us a git hook (TBD)
