wiki:TracAdmin

Version 4 (modified by trac, 16 years ago) ( diff )

TracAdmin

Trac is distributed with a powerful command-line configuration tool. This tool can be used to configure and customize your Trac-installation to better fit your needs.

Some of those operations can also be performed via the Admin web interface, an updated version of the WebAdmin plugin now integrated within Trac (since version 0.11).

Usage

You can get a comprehensive list of the available options, commands and sub-commands by invoking trac-admin with the help command:.

trac-admin help

Unless you're executing the help, about or version sub-commands, you'll need to specify the path to the TracEnvironment that you want to administer as the first argument, for example:

trac-admin /path/to/projenv wiki list

Interactive Mode

When passing the environment path as the only argument, trac-admin starts in interactive mode. Commands can then be executed on the selected environment using the prompt, which offers tab-completion (on non-Windows environments, and when the Python readline module is available) and automatic repetition of the last command issued.

Once you're in interactive mode, you can also get help on specific commands or subsets of commands:

For example, to get an explanation of the resync command, run:

> help resync

To get help on all the Wiki-related commands, run:

> help wiki

Full Command Reference

help 

    Show documentation

initenv [<projectname> <db>]

    Create and initialize a new environment

    If no arguments are given, then the required parameters are requested
    interactively unless the optional argument `--config` is specified.

    One or more optional arguments --inherit=PATH can be used to specify the
    "[inherit] file" option at environment creation time, so that only the
    options not already specified in one of the global configuration files are
    written to the conf/trac.ini file of the newly created environment.
    Relative paths are resolved relative to the "conf" directory of the new
    environment.

    The optional argument --config=PATH can be used to specify a configuration
    file that is used to populate the environment configuration. The arguments
    <projectname>, <db> and any other arguments passed in the invocation are
    optional, but if specified will override values in the configuration file.

attachment add <realm:id> <path> [author] [description]

    Attach a file to a resource

    The resource is identified by its realm and identifier. The attachment will
    be named according to the base name of the file.

attachment export <realm:id> <name> [destination]

    Export an attachment from a resource to file or stdout

    The resource is identified by its realm and identifier. If no destination
    is specified, the attachment is output to stdout.

attachment list <realm:id>

    List attachments of a resource

    The resource is identified by its realm and identifier.

attachment move <realm:id> <name> <new_realm:new_id> <new_name>

    Rename or move an attachment to another resource

    The resource is identified by its realm and identifier.

attachment remove <realm:id> <name>

    Remove an attachment from a resource

    The resource is identified by its realm and identifier.

changeset added <repos> <rev> [rev] [...]

    Notify trac about changesets added to a repository

    This command should be called from a post-commit hook. It will trigger a
    cache update and notify components about the addition.

changeset modified <repos> <rev> [rev] [...]

    Notify trac about changesets modified in a repository

    This command should be called from a post-revprop hook after revision
    properties like the commit message, author or date have been changed. It
    will trigger a cache update for the given revisions and notify components
    about the change.

config get <section> <option>

    Get the value of the given option in "trac.ini"

config remove <section> <option>

    Remove the specified option from "trac.ini"

config set <section> <option> <value>

    Set the value for the given option in "trac.ini"

convert_db <dburi> [new_env]

    Convert database

    Converts the database backend in the environment in which the command is
    run (in-place), or in a new copy of the environment. For an in-place
    conversion, the data is copied to the database specified in <dburi> and the
    [trac] database setting is changed to point to the new database. The new
    database must be empty, which for an SQLite database means the file should
    not exist. The data in the existing database is left unmodified.

    For a database conversion in a new copy of the environment, the environment
    in which the command is executed is copied and the [trac] database setting
    is changed in the new environment. The existing environment is left
    unmodified.

    Be sure to create a backup (see `hotcopy`) before converting the database,
    particularly when doing an in-place conversion.

deploy <directory>

    Extract static resources from Trac and all plugins

hotcopy <backupdir> [--no-database]

    Make a hot backup copy of an environment

    The database is backed up to the 'db' directory of the destination, unless
    the --no-database option is specified.

permission add <user> <action> [action] [...]

    Add a new permission rule

permission export [file]

    Export permission rules to a file or stdout as CSV

permission import [file]

    Import permission rules from a file or stdin as CSV

permission list [user]

    List permission rules

permission remove <user> <action> [action] [...]

    Remove a permission rule

repository add <repos> <dir> [type]

    Add a source repository

repository alias <name> <target>

    Create an alias for a repository

repository list 

    List source repositories

repository remove <repos>

    Remove a source repository

repository resync <repos> [rev]

    Re-synchronize trac with repositories

    When [rev] is specified, only that revision is synchronized. Otherwise, the
    complete revision history is synchronized. Note that this operation can
    take a long time to complete. If synchronization gets interrupted, it can
    be resumed later using the `sync` command.

    <repos> must be the repository name, not the repository path. Use `list` to
    see a list of repository names and associated paths. To synchronize all
    repositories, specify "*" for <repos>. The default repository can be
    specified using "(default)".

repository set <repos> <key> <value>

    Set an attribute of a repository

    The following keys are supported: alias, description, dir, hidden, name,
    sync_per_request, type, url

repository sync <repos> [rev]

    Resume synchronization of repositories

    It works like `resync`, except that it doesn't clear the already
    synchronized changesets, so it's a better way to resume an interrupted
    `resync`.

    See `resync` help for detailed usage.

session add <sid[:0|1]> [name] [email]

    Create a session for the given sid

    Populates the name and email attributes for the given session. Adding a
    suffix ':0' to the sid makes the session unauthenticated, and a suffix ':1'
    makes it authenticated (the default if no suffix is specified).

session delete <sid[:0|1]> [...]

    Delete the session of the specified sid

    An sid suffix ':0' operates on an unauthenticated session with the given
    sid, and a suffix ':1' on an authenticated session (the default).
    Specifying the sid 'anonymous' will delete all anonymous sessions.

session list [sid[:0|1]] [...]

    List the name and email for the given sids

    Specifying the sid 'anonymous' lists all unauthenticated sessions, and
    'authenticated' all authenticated sessions. '*' lists all sessions, and is
    the default if no sids are given.

    An sid suffix ':0' operates on an unauthenticated session with the given
    sid, and a suffix ':1' on an authenticated session (the default).

session purge <age>

    Purge anonymous sessions older than given age or date

    Age may be specified as a relative time like "90 days ago", or as a date in
    the "MMM d, y, h:mm:ss a" or "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm" (ISO 8601) format.

session set <name|email|default_handler> <sid[:0|1]> <value>

    Set the name or email attribute of the given sid

    An sid suffix ':0' operates on an unauthenticated session with the given
    sid, and a suffix ':1' on an authenticated session (the default).

upgrade [--no-backup]

    Upgrade database to current version

    The database is backed up to the directory specified by [trac] backup_dir
    (the default is 'db'), unless the --no-backup option is specified. The
    shorthand alias -b can also be used to specify --no-backup.

wiki dump <directory> [page] [...]

    Export wiki pages to files named by title

    Individual wiki page names can be specified after the directory. A name
    ending with a * means that all wiki pages starting with that prefix should
    be dumped. If no name is specified, all wiki pages are dumped.

wiki export <page> [file]

    Export wiki page to file or stdout

wiki import <page> [file]

    Import wiki page from file or stdin

wiki list 

    List wiki pages

wiki load <path> [...]

    Import wiki pages from files

    If a given path is a file, it is imported as a page with the name of the
    file. If a path is a directory, all files in that directory are imported.

wiki remove <page>

    Remove wiki page

wiki rename <page> <new_name>

    Rename wiki page

wiki replace <path> [...]

    Replace content of wiki pages from files (DANGEROUS!)

    This command replaces the content of the last version of one or more wiki
    pages with new content. The previous content is lost, and no new entry is
    created in the page history. The metadata of the page (time, author) is not
    changed either.

    If a given path is a file, it is imported as a page with the name of the
    file. If a path is a directory, all files in that directory are imported.

    WARNING: This operation results in the loss of the previous content and
    cannot be undone. It may be advisable to backup the current content using
    "wiki dump" beforehand.

wiki upgrade 

    Upgrade default wiki pages to current version

Notes

The initenv also supports an extra --inherit option, which can be used to specify the [inherit] file option at environment creation time so that only the options not already specified in the global configuration file will be written in the conf/trac.ini file of the newly created environment. See TracIni#GlobalConfiguration.
