Tiki Manager

Tiki Manager permits you to manage various instances of Tiki. You can install, upgrade, backup, clone, check the file integrity and do various other things. This can be done on the same server or a remote server. Most actions can be run unattended on a cron job. It can be used via the command line or a web interface.

Tiki Manager supercedes TRIM.

Coming to Tiki25: Tiki Manager Package

Requirements

  • SQLite3 for data storage
  • PHP 7.4+ with Command-line access (CLI). (Before 2023-07-04, it required PHP 7.1

It uses the Symfony Console Component.

    • It uses Composer for dependency management.
  • Git
  • Standard server tools like rsync, unzip, etc.
  • It's been developed on GNU/Linux, and designed to work anywhere PHP, SQLite and Git are available (Windows, MacOS, *BSD, etc.)


You can use Check to verify that your server can run Tiki or Tiki Manager

Installation

These are general instructions for Linux. You may need to adapt for your operating system. See also Additional configuration below.

At a high level:

  1. Use Server Check to review and get all the server dependencies
  2. Get code from Git in a non-web accessible directory: https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki-manager.git
  3. Run Tiki Manager with php tiki-manager.php to complete set up. It will instruct you how to do so (ex.: run Composer to get PHP dependencies)


Example commands (that worked for me on Debian 9 )

Install Tiki Manager
Copy to clipboard
# Navigate to your working directory (__Do not install in a web accessible directory__) and run the following git command $ git clone --depth 1 --branch master https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki-manager.git # Navigate to the tiki-manager directory with "cd tiki-manager" # Then run the following. On first run, it will finish the setup (Fetch Composer and get PHP dependencies, Create the SQLite database, etc.) $ php tiki-manager.php manager:info

Documentation

Here is a brief explanation of the basic commands that can be used. All commands follow a wizard pattern.

For more help, you can add --help to any command as in this example
Copy to clipboard
php tiki-manager.php instance:create --help

instance

instance:create

Adds an instance to be managed by Tiki Manager, which can mean either:

  • create a fresh Tiki instance (including a database) fetching files from Git (and optionally SVN)
  • or detect an existing Tiki installed via Git or Subversion (SVN) and "adopt" it.
  • You may need to convert your Tiki instance from FTP to Git.

instance:list

Copy to clipboard
php tiki-manager.php instance:list

Params Type Description
json option Instance list in a parsable format

instance:access

Opens a shell to the remote host.
Since Tiki Manager manages all your connections, using this command simply avoids needing to remember passwords.

Params

Params Type Description
instances option List of instance IDs or Names to be checked, separated by comma (,)

Copy to clipboard
php tiki-manager.php instance:access

instance:backup

Tiki Manager performs a complete backup of the Tiki instance.
The backup includes all files (using rsync for efficient bandwidth management) on remote host (including user files and files stored out of the web root) and a dump of the database. Each backup is archived in the backup/archive folder as a .tar.bz2 file, where Tiki Manager is installed.
The backup file contains:

  • manifest.txt: Indicates where folders were located on the remote host
  • database_dump.sql: Self-explanatory
  • [a-f0-9]{32}: Folders named using a hash. Content of the folders on remote host. The manifest.txt file lists these hashes.


Params

Params Type Description
instances option List of instance IDs or Names to be checked, separated by comma (,)
exclude option Used with --instances=all, a list of instance IDs to exclude from backup
email option Email addresses to notify for backup failures (comma separated)
max-backups option Max number of backups to keep by instance

Copy to clipboard
php tiki-manager.php instance:backup

instance:blank

Like instance:create but it doesn't actually add a Tiki. It just creates an instance that can be used to restore or clone another instance.

Copy to clipboard
php tiki-manager.php instance:blank

Copy to clipboard
php tiki-manager.php instance:create blank

instance:checkout

CheckoutCommand: allow checking out a specific Git branch and revision for main Tiki codebase or local checkouts of themes, for example. Original commit.

Params

Params Type Description
instance accepts one instance ID
folder either specify 'tiki' to update main Tiki codebase or a subfolder (e.g. themes/XYZ) - folder might exist or not exist. If it exists - it must be a Git checkout. In this case, the specified branch/revision will be checked out. If it doesn't exist, you should also specify a URL and it will be cloned into that folder.
url url of the Git repo - only used if checking out a new folder (e.g. checking out a new theme on a fresh Tiki)
branch the branch name. It is a type field currently but we can make it a dropdown with all available remote branches - will need some time to code. A suitable task for a little advanced junior.
revision optionally specify a commit ID/tag to checkout a specific revision

Copy to clipboard
php tiki-manager.php instance:checkout


This useful for A theme managed in Git

instance:clone

Makes another identical copy of Tiki. This is basically a combination of make backup and make restore in one operation.
The destination instance can be blank or another configured and managed Tiki Instance. Be very careful, when using existing another Tiki Instance, as the data here will be wiped and replaced by the data from the source instance.

As two Tiki instances with the same settings (ex.: both point to the same Elasticsearch index can cause issues), recommended reading: Divergent Preferences in Staging Development Production

The following are excluded from the cloning process:

  • db/local.php (the database access info needs to point to another database)

Additional configuration


To easily configure the Tiki Manager application, copy `.env.dist` file to `.env` and insert your configurations for the uncommented (#) entries.

Version Control System

Tiki Manager by default uses git and public repository. If you want to use SVN (but you shouldn't as SVN is no longer supported) as your default vcs or another repository please use the following lines in your .env file.

Copy to clipboard
DEFAULT_VCS=svn GIT_TIKIWIKI_URI=<CUSTOM_GIT_REPOSITORY_URL> SVN_TIKIWIKI_URI=<CUSTOM_SVN_REPOSITORY_URL>

Behind proxy or without internet connection


Tiki Manager is able to use Tiki's distributed version packages as an alternative when there is no connection to external servers like GitLab or SourceForge.

Setting the default VCS to src, Tiki Manager will use existing packages in the data/tiki_src folder (default).

Copy to clipboard
DEFAULT_VCS=src


Download the distributed Tiki packages, from https://sourceforge.net/projects/tikiwiki/files/, and save them into data/tiki_src folder.

Email settings

To configure Tiki Manager email sender address add the following line to your .env file.

Copy to clipboard
FROM_EMAIL_ADDRESS=<SENDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS>

Configure SMTP Server

By default Tiki Manager uses sendmail to send email notifications. If you intend to use SMTP instead add the following lines to your .env file.

Copy to clipboard
SMTP_HOST=<SERVER_ADDRESS> SMTP_PORT=<SERVER_PORT> SMTP_USER=(optional if authentication is required) SMTP_PASS=(optional if authentication is required)

Web Manager settings

If you want to setup a default folder to install your web manager or apache user:group are different than apache:apache you can add the following settings to your .env file.

Copy to clipboard
WWW_PATH=<WEB_MANAGER_FOLDER> WWW_USER=<APACHE_USER> WWW_GROUP=<APACHE_GROUP>


To change the maximum number of failed login attempts on Web Manager, add the following setting to your .env file.

Copy to clipboard
MAX_FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS=<NUMBER>

Timeouts during long running operations


During long operations (like clone or clone and upgrade) you may receive an HTTP error code 503 with a message "Service Unavailable", you can increase Apache's proxy timeout to a more suitable value.
To do that at the Virtual Host level (so it's only enabled for tiki manager) you need to do the following:

Add the Apache directive ProxyTimeout to Tiki Managers VirtualHost configuration file.
Example: ProxyTimeout 300 will set the proxy timeout to 5 minutes

Hooks


Tiki Manager since 2024-02-08 supports hook system, to execute scripts (shell scripts) before or after the command.
This can be useful to execute a backup encryption or move backups to different folders or even trigger notifications.

Every command can have a pre and post scripts.

See more context in the feature request: https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki-manager/-/issues/22

Adding a hook


To add a script to be executed before or after the command, you need to add the script file into the folder following this structure:
/hooks/<command>/<action>/<filename>.sh

Command is the name of the command being executed, replace : with -

In this example lets create a post execution hook for instance:create command
The path will be /hooks/instance-create/post/notify.sh

Hook variables


Each command can register different variables. Commands that do interact with instances will add the instances properties.

Copy to clipboard
INSTANCE_IDS # A list with the instances ids, that are available in the environment variables (comma separated) INSTANCE_TYPE_<INSTANCE_ID> INSTANCE_VCS_TYPE_<INSTANCE_ID> INSTANCE_NAME_<INSTANCE_ID> INSTANCE_WEBROOT_<INSTANCE_ID> INSTANCE_WEBURL_<INSTANCE_ID> INSTANCE_TEMPDIR_<INSTANCE_ID> INSTANCE_PHPEXEC_<INSTANCE_ID> INSTANCE_PHPVERSION_<INSTANCE_ID> INSTANCE_BACKUP_USER_<INSTANCE_ID> INSTANCE_BACKUP_GROUP_<INSTANCE_ID> INSTANCE_BACKUP_PERM_<INSTANCE_ID> INSTANCE_BRANCH_<INSTANCE_ID> INSTANCE_LAST_ACTION_<INSTANCE_ID> INSTANCE_LAST_ACTION_DATE_<INSTANCE_ID>

Other Notes

Tiki Manager vs MultiTiki

Using the instance:console command in Tiki Manager you can access the multitiki commands in the remote instance, like this. Assuming we are using instance #42 and the virtual domain is example.com, and each branch is in the same directory (i.e. tiki/branches/20.x and tiki/branches/21.x in this instance.

Details

[+]

Troubleshooting

If you have weird errors and/or an inability to update, it could be

  • that Tiki Manager dependencies are messed up. Just delete the vendor/ directory and try again (Tiki Manager will re-download them)
  • you have modified code. You can check with git status and git diff
