Migration from cloud to self-hosted fails to create buckets

Hi! I'm trying to migrate a small project from the cloud to a self hosted instance to play around but without any success! The migration process fails with the following error "Storage bucket with the requested ID could not be found." for all the files. If I understand the error correctly, the migration does not create the buckets prior to moving the files. Is it expected behavior? Should I just create a bucket with the same ID? Both cloud & self-hosted are running Appwrite 1.8.0. Thank you!
