Hi guys - one question - how can I move an instance of airbyte to a new host (i don't want to move the VM, just airbyte). It's important I want to keep the state, so no full resyncs, etc. I'm using docker. Thanks

Hi @Victor Francess, you can export your configurations from the UI in the settings page. The states of your connections should be in the
StandardSyncState
. You can spawn a new Airbyte (with the same version), and import the previously exported configurations from the settings page.

Understood. So the whole state is the exported config?

Yes, please double check you have a
StandardSyncState.yaml
file in your exported archive.

Yes, the file is there and it contains the cursors. But clearly doesn't act as expected. So I'm taking a config backup and uploading it immediately to the new host. This triggers massive sync - all connections start syncing which may even freeze the system. So the question is - how to transfer the sync state from the original host - i.e. the fact that syncs were already running on schedule?

If you transfer the config from a instance to another the new instance will trigger immediately all connections creating a new schedule

Exactly my point, which breaks the original schedule and also start unscheduled syncs. So back to my original question - what can I do to keep the state - copy some docker volume or something different? Thanks!

Hey did you try what @Augustin Lafanechere (Airbyte) has suggested?
