We've fallen far behind in upgrading our self-hosted Appwrite instance (0.12). What would the minimum recommended version for a self-hosted instance be before migrating to cloud Appwrite?

TL;DR
The minimum recommended version for a self-hosted Appwrite instance before migrating to the cloud is 1.1.2. It is recommended to upgrade version-by-version to ensure compatibility. There is no automatic way for migrating from self-hosted Appwrite to the cloud.

As of now there is no automatic way for migrating self-hosted Appwrite to the cloud.

Or you meant something else?

And, If you just want to match the cloud version. It is 1.1.2

Thank you for the reply. I understand that I'd have to do a migration manually as per https://discord.com/channels/564160730845151244/1091160771536371802

I also assume the safest way would be to upgrade my self-hosted instance version-by-version up to 1.1.2. I'm just wondering if I could skip a few upgrades and stop at, say, 1.0 or even an earlier version without running into major issues or loss of functionality and if this minimum version was already known by anyone in the community. I'll report back if we go through with the migration about our experiences with the process.

I'll recommend to run full backup for everything.

Then according to Appwrite files you're able to run upgrade then migrate as follows 0.12 0.13.4 0.14.2 0.15.3 1.0.3 1.1.2 1.2.1 1.3.0 1.3.3

Be sure to run migration each time

I've made the list up to the stable. But if want to compatible with the cloud you can stop at 1.1.2
