Hello,

I am trying to migrate my existing appwrite projects into appwrite cloud.

I was studying the CLI commands and doing some testing. I am able to init and retrieve all the projects and collections. But I am unsure how to "push" these projects into appwrite cloud.

Would you point me to some directions where i can read further?

Thanks again

near spire Hello, I am trying to migrate my existing appwrite projects into appwrite cloud...

You'll need to point to cloud and then deploy: https://appwrite.io/docs/command-line#configuration. You might need to create an empty project in cloud with the same ID first.

spark flare You'll need to point to cloud and then deploy: <https://appwrite.io/docs/command...

Thanks @Steven . So I issued the following, after creating an empty project in Cloud:

appwrite client --endpoint https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1 
appwrite client --key XXXXXXX
appwrite client --projectId 641cc836bd3f0b9cab83 --> this is the cloud empty project ID

I hit "Error User (role: guests) missing scope (databases.write)" when i tried to

appwrite deploy collections

I assume it is because i need to deploy database first because my API key already has full permission. I just couldnt find command to deploy database. Would you know what i should proceed next?

I have already done the below prior to connecting to the cloud endpoint

appwrite init project
appwrite init collection

the auth records

#

let me read further, because when i type --help in deploy, i dont see option for this

tough briar Mar 31, 2023, 2:29 AM

#

Yes. For that you'll need to wait for Steven's answer

P.s. I don't think there is a way to achieve it right now

oh

#

i see, so it is likely there is no way to migrate the auth account yet

You want to migrate your users so they can log in with the same password in the new environment?

near spire thats right

You can pull data from the old instance and then use this to import into new instance: https://appwrite.io/docs/server/users?sdk=nodejs-default#usersCreateArgon2User

#

sorry one more question. I noticed that deploy collection does not deploy documents inside

#

any idea how i can migrate all the docs inside the collection too?

#

or, i can only do it using the SDK create_doc method?

#

ok, thanks a lot Steven

Hey sorry again. I noticed that "appwrite init collection" does not retrieve all databases from the source. For example, i have 2 database, each with 2 collections. Both were detected as fetched during the init. But inside appwrite.json, there is only 1 database with 2 collection. the other database is not present. is there a limit of the amount of data that i can init?
