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
The issue is that the bucket could not be created in the first place due to a difference in maximum file size configurations between the cloud and self-hosted environments. To resolve this, adjust the per-bucket maximum file size in the self-hosted environment to match the global setting in the .env file.

Alright the problem that I missed was the bucket could not be created in the first place. On cloud, I configured a per-bucket maximum file size greater than what I configured globally in the .env file of my self hosted stack.
