craft-db-extract Overview

This plugin makes a web controller action available to pull the database export.

Using craft-db-extract

The controller action requires an admin login. Provide your credentials in the Authoirization header with basic authentication.

HTTP Header:

Authorization: Basic xxxxxxxxxxxx

Tip: If you experience 401 Unauthorized eventhough you provide correct admin credentials, you can try to add the following line to your .htaccess:

SetEnvIf Authorization (.+) HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$0

Pulling the database in *.sql format:

GET YOUR_WEBSITE/actions/craft-db-extract/db-export

Pulling the database in *.sql.gz format:

GET YOUR_WEBSITE/actions/craft-db-extract/db-export?compression=gzip

craft-db-extract Roadmap

Some things to do, and ideas for potential features:

• Authorization with user token
• Add different compressions
• Configurable filename for response
