Moving from Appwrite Cloud to self-hosted(DigitalOcean)

TLDR: How do I comfortably move all my functions, schemas, data, files etc from Appwrite cloud to a DigitalOcean droplet's Appwrite instance?

I need to transfer all my data to a freshly installed Appwrite instance in DigitalOcean. I can easily transfer the functions, collection schemas, storage bucket names using the appwrite-cli. And I was thinking I would have to write another script to transfer all the documents from the collections. But that would change the '$createdAt' which is not ideal. Moving the users could be a pain too. What is the simplest way to just COPY AND PASTE everything?

For now, there's no way to migrate everything in simple one-click solution. Notice that this option is currently in development.

As for your use-case What you can do is something like this.

1. Move everything to the newly created DigitalOcean server.
2. Export all the document (using server SDK) to a csv
3. Use this gist to connect to MariaDB Database.
4. Locate the collection table in the database
5. Update the createdAt & updatedAt to those in the CSV.
