[Koha] synchro two instances of Koha

[Giuseppe Passanisi]

What I suggest you is to do a Replication of Database using Mysql itself with replication master-slave (if your purpose is Disaster Recovery or Business Continuity)

But that is not enough, you'll have to sync also configurations file and other files eventually customized.


To do that I suggest you an rsync in cronjob (every 15 minutes or less) that copy the files (with --update) from master to slave. Should be enough rsync the /var/lib/koha/instance directory and /etc/koha/.


BR,

Giuseppe Passanisi

Hi Giuseppe,

I wrote something to do that few years ago when I worked at BibLibre (
https://git.biblibre.com/biblibre/kss/)
Kss is for "Koha sync system", the idea was to synchronize slave
installations (without internet access during the day) with the master
installation.
It does not appear to have been updated to work with new versions of Koha.
It has been initially written for 3.2 and rewritten for 3.16

Regards,
Jonathan
