i have a trial account setup in airbyte cloud. i want to migrate to a self-hosted instance. can i migrate my existing connections from airbyte cloud to the new instance?

Based on the information available, it's currently not possible to directly import your source/destination/configs from your Airbyte Cloud to a self-hosted instance. You would need to create the connectors from scratch in your self-hosted instance. However, in the self-hosted instance, you have the option to create connectors using OAuth which is simpler. Here is the relevant discussion on the Airbyte forum: [Migrate from Airbyte OSS to Airbyte Cloud Questions](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/130) Please note that the information might change in the future as Airbyte continues to evolve and add new features. It's always a good idea to check the latest documentation and discussions on the Airbyte website.

is there a way i can export yaml files of my existing connection in airbyte cloud?

Yes, you can export the YAML manifest file for your connector in Airbyte. The manifest file contains all the information about the connector, including the global configuration, streams, and user inputs. Here are the steps to do it: 1. Click "Publish" chevron -> "Contribute to Marketplace" 2. Fill out the form: add the connector description, and provide your GitHub PAT (Personal Access Token) to create a pull request 3. Click "Contribute" to submit the connector to the Airbyte catalog You can also use the Octavia CLI to manage your Airbyte resources and configurations. If you have already configured an Airbyte instance and want to version control changes or manage configurations with Octavia, you can get the instance configuration with the

octavia import all

command. This command will retrieve all sources, destinations, and connection configurations. You can then commit this to a Git repository. Here is an example of how to use the Octavia CLI:

bash octavia init octavia import all

Please note that once you start to edit Airbyte resources with Octavia CLI then it's better to avoid using the UI as you will continue to see some differences when importing changes. For more details, you can check the [Octavia CLI documentation](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/tree/master/octavia-cli).

@kapa.ai how do i connect my octavia cli to my airbyte cloud?

A message from kapa.ai

To connect your Octavia CLI to your Airbyte Cloud, you need to set up the necessary environment variables in the

.octavia

file. These variables include the Airbyte instance URL, username, and password. Here's an example of how to set these variables:

bash AIRBYTE_URL=<http://your-airbyte-instance-url> AIRBYTE_USERNAME=your-username AIRBYTE_PASSWORD=your-password

Replace

<http://your-airbyte-instance-url>

,

your-username

, and

your-password

with your actual Airbyte instance URL, username, and password respectively. After setting up these environment variables, you can use the Octavia CLI to interact with your Airbyte instance. For example, you can initialize an Octavia project with the

octavia init

command:

bash octavia init

Please note that the Octavia CLI is an alpha unofficial CLI that won't be maintained. Since the publication of the tutorial, Airbyte has released an official [Terraform Provider](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/airbytehq/airbyte/0.1.0), which is advised to use instead of the CLI.

@kapa.ai how to install octavia cli

A message from kapa.ai

You can install Octavia CLI as a command available in your bash profile with Docker or modify your Airbyte docker-compose.yml file to apply the configuration on start. Here's how you can install the latest Octavia version as a bash command:

bash curl -s -o- <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/airbytehq/airbyte/master/octavia-cli/install.sh> | bash

This command will download the Octavia CLI installation script and execute it. The Octavia CLI will be installed as an alias in your bash profile. You can then use the

octavia

command to interact with your Airbyte instance. Please note that you should install the same Octavia version as the targeted Airbyte instance to avoid API incompatibility issues.
