Drop-in playbook for Trellis to push and pull uploads from the server to your local machine.

uploads.yml

---
- name: Sync uploads between environments
  hosts: web
  remote_user: "{{ web_user }}"

  vars:
    project: "{{ wordpress_sites[site] }}"
    project_root: "{{ www_root }}/{{ site }}"

  tasks:
  # ansible-playbook uploads.yml -i hosts/staging --extra-vars="site=example.com mode=push"
  - name: Push uploads
    synchronize:
      src: "{{ project.local_path }}/web/app/uploads/"
      dest: "{{ project_root }}/current/web/app/uploads/"
      rsync_opts: --exclude=.DS_Store
    when: mode is not defined or mode == "push"

  # ansible-playbook uploads.yml -i hosts/staging --extra-vars="site=example.com mode=pull"
  - name: Pull uploads
    synchronize:
      src: "{{ project_root }}/current/web/app/uploads/"
      dest: "{{ project.local_path }}/web/app/uploads/"
      mode: pull
      rsync_opts: --exclude=.DS_Store
    when: mode is defined and mode == "pull"

Thanks a lot. This is still working great and saving me a lot of time, but just a note for anyone using Kinsta: Using a site with the recommended structure (conforming to the trellis example project) I had to change project_root: "{{ www_root }}/{{ site }}" to just project_root: "{{ www_root }}". If you want to be picky, delete that line entirely and change the two occurrences of "project_root" to "www_root".

cool..thanks!

Thanks. This works perfectly
