Hello, I have been trying to migrate my cloud data to local for testing purposes, but the menu for creating migration seems to be broken. Any suggestions for this issue? There are pretty much no errors till this point, I am using ngrok to let my device be findable for appwrite cloud.

TL;DR
Developers are experiencing issues migrating from cloud to local instance. They are advised to update the console to a 6.x.x version compatible with 1.7.4 and use Zach's migration script from the appwrite-utils-cli package. The data schema for version 1.7.4 is different from 1.8, so they may need to wait for the next self-hosting release for migration. The menu for migration may be broken.

Afaik, even if you got the menu working it would fail because the data schema for the 1.7.4 version is not the same as the 1.8 version. We need to wait for the next release of self hosting to be able to migrate between the two.

You could try using Zachs migration script

npx --package=appwrite-utils-cli@latest appwrite-migrate --it -- if you use this, you can transfer

bump the console to a 6.x.x compatible version for 1.7.4. It was fixed quite a long ago.
