are you using the same appwrite version? as example 1.8.1?

the self hosted instance is on version 1.8.0 how do i check for the cloud

I managed to successfully upgrade to the new version which is the same as the cloud, its new issues now

I think the issue is now on the local storage, though i've not figured out where.

what does this imply, "Storage bucket with the The requested Id could not be found "

here are the logs

"Storage bucket with the The requested Id could not be found " = the bucket wasn't created, hence the files failed to get created.
are you mounting your storage path? or using binding? what is your docker-compose config?

After the struggle im now good, the migration was a success,
The very first problem i had was the mismatching versions of the cloud and the local instance i was helped by the appwrite support team
this is what he gave me

"Based on the logs you shared in the discord thread looks like a few items failed to migrate. Most look to be successful.

Big one that sticks out is files, depending on your version there may be some conflicts. I recommend ensuring that your self hosted instance is on 1.8.1 which is what Cloud is currently on. You can find docs on how to upgrade here: https://appwrite.io/docs/advanced/self-hosting/production/updates"

The second issue was in my tables which was:

"errors": [ { "code": 0, "message": "Invalid document structure: Missing required attribute "isAdmin"", "resourceName": "row", "resourceGroup": "databases", "resourceId": "" }, { "code": 400, "message": "Invalid maximumFileSize param: Value must be a valid range between 1 and 30,000,000", "resourceName": "bucket", "resourceGroup": "storage", "resourceId": "***" }

after fixing these i was good to go.

Other than the tables and the schema the main issue was the mismatching versions of the two instances.

Thanks for your help and time
