sealup pull

Copy server files (the users’ uploads) to this machine. New files come down, and a local file of another size or date is replaced by the server’s copy. Local files are never deleted, and nothing is written outside the folder of sealup.yml.

Terminal window
sealup pull [target] [flags]

The folders to copy are the pull: entries of sealup.yml, server folder on the left, local folder on the right:

pull:
  www/resources: public_html/resources

Target

Section titled “Target”
  • One target in sealup.yml: no name needed.
  • Several targets: name one. Without a name, a terminal shows a picker.

Flags

Section titled “Flags”
Flag What it does
--dry-run List every file to download, change nothing

Global flags: -c, --env-file, --json, -v, -q, --no-color (see sealup --help).

Safety

Section titled “Safety”
  • On your own machine only: without a terminal (CI) it stops with exit 2 (pull-in-ci).
  • It stops before writing anything on a server name that Windows or a path cannot hold (pull-unsafe-name), a link or junction on the local path (pull-local-path), or a listing too large (pull-too-large).
  • Links on the server are skipped, never followed.
  • A pull never changes the server.

Examples

Section titled “Examples”
Terminal window
sealup pull --dry-run            # see what would come down
sealup pull production           # one of several targets
