I've written a vue.js webapp with appwrite-cloud-db (including relations) and everything works just perfectly!
Now I want to release this webapp as an open source project that anyone can checkout and run locally with as much automation as possible.
Therefore I have to find a way to automate the following steps:
- install self-hosted appwrite locally with docker
- import a predefined database schema with sample data into appwrite
- start webserver
How to achieve step 2?
If it would be just a sql-db, I would just generate an sql-import-script (create database, create table etc., insert into table ) and run this against the local database in a start script.
But how to do the automated db-import with appwrite?
How can I create a local importable database export file from a appwrite cloud database?
Can this be achieved only with an external lib like appwrite-utils-cli?
Or is the only option to code the import manually by my own using server SDK with commands like databases.createCollection ...?
Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.

TL;DR
Developers can use the Appwrite CLI to deploy a collection easily, but updating it is more complex. To automate the process of setting up a local instance of an app that uses Appwrite Cloud DB, including importing a database schema and sample data, developers can use the Appwrite CLI to create a local importable database export file. This can be achieved through commands like databases.createCollection in the server SDK or using an external library like appwrite-utils-cli.
