Hi team,

I’m trying to migrate a few of my Appwrite projects from the cloud to a self-hosted instance. These projects are currently in “archive mode” due to the free plan limit of 2 projects. However, I’ve encountered several issues during the migration process:

When I enter the self-hosted endpoint URL in the Cloud Dashboard and go through: Create Migration → Select Organization → Create New Project, I receive the error:

Invalid region param: Value must be one of (default)

When I try: Create Migration → Select Organization → Existing Project, I get:

Couldn’t load resources. The API key required for the migration may no longer be valid or has expired. Please verify and start the migration again.

I would appreciate guidance on how to successfully migrate archived projects from the cloud to a self-hosted Appwrite instance. Are there any workarounds for projects in archive mode or steps I might be missing to refresh the API key?

Thanks in advance for any help!

TL;DR
Issue: Migrating projects from Appwrite Cloud to self-hosted Developers facing errors during migration process: - Error message related to 'region' parameter - Issue with API key for migration of archived projects Solution: - Ensure correct region value is selected during migration - Verify and refresh API key for successful migration
