FDPUB

FDPUB is our bright shiny brave world where all the websites from all the clusters are living in perfect harmony.

Goal: to have all origin sites as a clone for development in our FDPUP cluster.

To reach this all origin websites must be imported to FDPUB.

Add origin single multi site (production) from other cluster to FDPUB

[add documentation how to add a new domain to the cluster on the VIP dashboard.]

We only need 1 stage per Website. As name convention we use:

[origin-website-domain].fdpub.de

In the rare case there is need for more stageing per website do this:

[origin-website-domain]-dev.fdpub.de

Make a backup of fdpub database!
Add new Domain to the cluster: https://dashboard.wpvip.com/apps/9635/production/domains
Go to: https://preprod.fdpub.de/wp-admin/network/sites.php
Add new site and note site ID for step 6.
Make a backup of the origin single network site and download it. Follow this instructions
Replace the origin table prefix in the SQL file with the target prefix from step 4.
Validate the SQL file:
- vip import validate-sql /Users/example-user/file.sql
- Only import if there are no errors!
Import the backup to the fdpub network via CLI:
- vip @fdpub.production import sql schlager.funkedigital.de-db-backup.sql –search-replace=”https://schlager.funkedigital.de,https://preprod-schlager.fdpub.de“
Update Network and purge cache.
