Why should this be worked on?
Needs Documentation.
The doc for migration curretly seems very old. @sharat87 Should we update this with the appsmithctl migrate command that geekup had written? or should we use backup and restore to handle instance migration?
No. That document is solving a different problem. It works, only if you have admin control over both the source and destination environments of your migration. Like, I have Appsmith on a server on AWS, and I want to move it to a server on GCP. This is the doc I need. It'll move all users, workspaces, applications, API Keys, configs etc.
But, we obviously can't have that for moving from our prod. This should be solved with a doc that directs users to export just their apps, or connect to Git, and import them on their self-hosted instances.
@sharat87 Sorry for the confusion, although this issue is with respect to cloud to self-hosted migration. I saw that the docs here here is actually for server to server migration, where users are directed to use mongodump and copy to new instance with mongorestore. So, I thought it would be better to update this with the migrate command.
@sum35h can you provide the steps on how to migrate from cloud to self-hosted?
