Vagrant Trellis Sequel

Open Trellis databases in Sequel Pro with a single command

Built with ♥ by Typist Tech

Vagrant Trellis Sequel is an open source project and completely free to use.

However, the amount of effort needed to maintain and develop new features is not sustainable without proper financial backing. If you have the capability, please consider donating using the links below:

$ vagrant trellis-sequel open --help
Usage: vagrant trellis-sequel open [options] [vm-id]

        --site [site]                Site whose database going to be opened.
        --vault-password-file [VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE]
                                     Vault password file.
        --vault-pass [VAULT_PASS]    Vault password.
    -h, --help                       Print this help

$ vagrant trellis-sequel open

This works for most of the cases:

• vault.yml is unencrypted
• vault.yml is encrypted and .vault_pass contains the vault password
• running from within the Trellis directory
• open the first found database

$ vagrant trellis-sequel open --site example.com

Use the --site option to specify which site's database to open. By default, the first site's database will be opened. Note: This is the site key of vault_wordpress_sites in vault.yml, usually ends with .com.

$ vagrant trellis-sequel open --vault-password-file .my_vault_password_file
$ vagrant trellis-sequel open --vault-password-file /my/top/secret.txt

Use the --vault-password-file option to specify path to the vault password file, either relative path from Trellis root or absolute path. Default value is .vault_pass if vault.yml is encrypted.

$ vagrant trellis-sequel open --vault-pass my-top-secret

Use the --vault-pass option to provide vault password if you encrypted vault.yml but don't have a vault password file.

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-trellis-sequel

That means you passed wrong --site or vault.yml is malformed.

# group_vars/development/vault.yml

vault_wordpress_sites:
  example.com:
    admin_password: admin
    env:
      db_password: bye
  www.typist.tech:
    admin_password: admin
    env:
      db_password: hello

For the above vault.yml, these 3 commands are valid:

$ vagrant trellis-sequel open # Open one of the DB, most likely the first one
$ vagrant trellis-sequel open --site example.com
$ vagrant trellis-sequel open --site www.typist.tech

That means vault password is incorrect.

This part is stolen from from Sequel Pro for Chassis.

If you get a connection error, the first thing to attempt to debug is to check the details that Sequel Pro gives you (under the Show Details button).

If you get this error on macOS Sierra, it's possible that you have too many SSH keys loaded into your ssh-agent. If you're using multiple boxes with this setup in your SSH config (AddKeysToAgent yes), each new box you add will be added to your agent. With too many of these, SSH will hit the authentication retries limit before getting to the correct key.

The simple solution is to add this to your ~/.ssh/config file:

  # Disable checks on Vagrant machines
  Host 127.0.0.1
    # Skip adding to agent
    AddKeysToAgent no

    # Only use key specified on CLI
    IdentitiesOnly yes

    # Skip known hosts
    UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
    StrictHostKeyChecking no

This disables using system-level keys (both from the agent, and your regular SSH keys), and disables host checks (which are not necessary for localhost). This does not affect vagrant ssh, which already uses these options.

If you want to open non-vagrant databases, i.e: production or staging databases on remote sevrers, use $ trellis db open instead.

Make sure your hosts file (/etc/hosts) contains all the domains you're self-signing.

Usually it can be rectified by $ vagrant reload --provision or $ vagrant hostmanager.

Ask on Root Discourse if the problem persists.
