This feature and documentation is currently a work in progress.

In this case you run the command to capture a snapshot of your database on a machine that you trust.

Hosting the capture process​

The Snaplet CLI requires access to your .snaplet config directory in order to know how you want to modify your snapshots. Many people capture snapshots in CI/CD because it's already trusted, already has access to the .snaplet config directory via the source code and fits into a gitops development workflow.

  1. Install Snaplet CLI
  2. Checkout your source code from repository
  3. Run SNAPLET_DATABASE_URL=[secret] snaplet snapshot capture /tmp/my-snapshot

That's it, you have now a snapshot in /tmp/my-snapshot that you can upload and share with your team.

Sharing snapshot via a Snaplet Cloud Project​

Run snaplet snapshot share /tmp/my-snapshot to upload it to a Snaplet Cloud Project.
