Migrate from self-hosted_

Migrations makes it as easy as a couple clicks to move all of your self-hosted project data to a Cloud instance.

1. Things to keep in mind

1. Data transferred by migrations will reset $createdAt and $updatedAt timestamps to the date of the migration.

2. Your self-hosted Appwrite project must be accessible from the internet for the migration to work.

3. Migrations are non-destructive. No data will be deleted or lost in the source project.

2. Create migration

To begin migrating to Cloud, make sure to read the migration overview
and things to keep in mind sections above.

1. Navigate to your self-hosted project's Console and click on the Migrations tab.

2. Click Deploy to Cloud, you will be redirected to Appwrite Cloud.

3. You will complete the migration on Appwrite Cloud.

3. Continue on Appwrite Cloud

1. Once redirected to Appwrite Cloud, you'll be prompted to select an organization and a project. You can migrate to an existing project or create a new one.
