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!

TL;DR
Migrating project from cloud to self-hosted instance fails to create buckets, resulting in error "Storage bucket with requested ID could not be found." Devs should create buckets with the same ID before migrating files. Both cloud and self-hosted instances are running Appwrite 1.8.0.
