StackMover Lite Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
StackMover is a migrator tool that can backup your wordpress to Amazon S3 and setup an Amazon LightSail instance with the backup data. StackMover can be used to setup a clone wordpress from a live production site onto an Amazon LightSail instance rapidly. This plugin eliminates the need to do the manual steps involved during migration and allows for quick cloning and backup. The clone can either be used for development purpose or to evaluate LightSail.
Stackmover allows for creation of AWS keys securely using AWS CloudFormation template and builds a compressed zip bundle containing all wordpress assets and a database dump. The zip bundle is moved to the input S3 bucket and a new LightSail instance is launched. The new LightSail instance is setup with a LEMP stack (Linux, Nginx, Mysql, Php) and wordpress setup with the data from S3 during instance bootup.
Stackmover backup creates two files in the chosen S3 bucket. A zipped file containing the metadata of files being migrated (size,timestamp etc) and a single zip file containing the entire wordpress data (themes, plugins, mysql dump etc). The location of these files are timestamped and namespaced according to the input tags. The files would be located inside mybucket/stackmover/mytag/backup/YYYY-MM-DD-Timestamp/ subdirectory of the chosen S3 bucket.
For issues, email support is offered via support@stackmover.com or by creating support tickets in wordpress forum. Pro (paid) version is still under development and we are seeking feature requests.
