How do I synchronize a database and assets between a local DDEV instance and a remote server?▼

You can synchronize databases and assets between local DDEV instances and remote servers using automated rsync techniques for efficient data transfer. The process handles both local-to-remote pulls and remote-to-local pushes.

Do I need authenticated SSH access to automate DDEV deployment to a production server?▼

Yes, authenticated SSH access is required to automate DDEV deployment to a production server. Proper environment configuration must also be in place to execute the synchronization and deployment processes successfully.

Can I push pre-computed assets from a local environment to a remote production server?▼

Yes, you can push pre-computed assets from a local environment to remote production servers. This remote-to-local deploy functionality streamlines asset transfers and managing deployments for production environments.

What is the best way to pull a remote production database into a local DDEV environment?▼

The best way to pull a remote production database into a local DDEV environment is using rsync-based synchronization. This local-to-remote sync mechanism efficiently transfers remote state, including databases and assets, into your local instance.

Does this database synchronization approach work for Silverstripe major version upgrades?▼

Yes, this database synchronization approach is specifically designed to support Silverstripe major version upgrades. You can pull the remote state into your local DDEV instance to safely test the upgrade process.
