Migration from Self-Hosted to Cloud seems broken
Hello,
I'm trying to migrate from my Self-Hosted Appwrite instance to Cloud, and can't figure out what's going wrong.
- If I initiate the migration from Cloud, it fails instantly without any useful logs.
- If I initiate the migration from Self-Hosted, it shows an "invalid API key" error when listing resources before migrating.
I've just updated my Self-Hosted instance to 1.9.1. Given that I don't have much logs, I'm not sure what information I could add. This is all I see when it fails instantly from Cloud:
TypeScript

"resources": [

"index",
"row",
"bucket",
"file",
"function",
"environment-variable",
"deployment",
"site",
"site-variable",
"site-deployment",
"provider",
"topic",
"subscriber",
"message"
],
"resourceId": "",
"statusCounters": [],
"resourceData": [],
"errors": [],
"options": []
}
And the destination project ID: 69d8c9b60011bf0e3ba6
Has this issue be seen already?
Thanks
TL;DR
Developers experiencing issues migrating from Self-Hosted to Cloud with an invalid API key error. Initiating migration from Cloud fails instantly, while from Self-Hosted, it shows the error. No useful logs provided. Update Self-Hosted to 1.9.1. For the 'invalid API key' error, regenerate the API key and ensure it has correct permissions for data access and migration.
