@kapa.ai Can I export all the connections, sources and destinations configs from Airbyte and deploy it in a different instance?

Yes, you can export all the connections, sources, and destinations configurations from one Airbyte instance and deploy them in a different instance. Here are the steps you can follow: 1. Export the configuration from the original Airbyte instance. This can be done through the Airbyte UI or using the Airbyte API. The exported configuration will include details about your sources, destinations, and connections. 2. Transfer the exported configuration to the new Airbyte instance. If you're using the Airbyte API, you can automate this process. 3. Import the configuration into the new Airbyte instance. Again, this can be done through the Airbyte UI or using the Airbyte API. Please note that both instances must be on the same version of Airbyte for this process to work correctly[^1^]. If you're using the Octavia CLI, you can also manage your Airbyte configurations as code. This allows you to version control your configurations, review changes before applying them, and copy configurations between different Airbyte instances[^5^]. For a more detailed guide on how to migrate configurations from one instance to another, you can refer to this [tutorial](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/3514)[^4^].

@kapa.ai I'm using the open source version. how can I do it?

A message from kapa.ai

To migrate your configurations from one open-source Airbyte instance to another, you can use the Octavia CLI. Here are the steps: 1. Bootstrap an Octavia CLI project: This will create a new Octavia project with a basic structure. 2. Import the configuration of an existing instance: You can use the

octavia import

command to import your existing Airbyte configurations into the Octavia project. 3. Edit YAML configuration files: If necessary, you can edit the imported YAML configuration files to suit the needs of the new Airbyte instance. 4. Apply configurations to a different instance: Finally, you can use the

octavia apply

command to apply the configurations to the new Airbyte instance[^3^]. Here's an example of how to apply these changes to a different Airbyte instance:

bash octavia apply –airbyte-url <http://production.myairbyte.com> –force –airbyte-username YOUR_USERNAME –airbyte-password YOUR_PASSWORD

[^3^]: (Source: https://airbyte.com/tutorials/version-control-airbyte-configurations) Please note that you need to replace

<http://production.myairbyte.com>

,

YOUR_USERNAME

, and

YOUR_PASSWORD

with your actual Airbyte URL, username, and password. Also, please be aware that when importing resources, Octavia overwrites the environment variables that you configured originally with the real value and replace secrets with '**********'. Given this limitation, you won't be able to push this new configuration to a different instance without editing the secrets in the template and adding the environment variables that may change between instances[^3^].
