Hi guys Quick question: how can i export/import the configuration of airbyte ? i've seen some post that i could export the config via the UI i've turned "Advanced mode" in the settings on using airbyte version 0.40.17 but the configuration windows looks as following => only donwload of the logs possible, not of configuration i've started airbyte locally via docker-compose as-is on github do i need to set any env variables to access this functionality ?
would be also ok to export/import the config via API. but i don't see which endpoint i need to call for that
the openapi spec lists just following meta-tag:
Copy code
- name: deployment
    description: Export/Import Airbyte
but i don't see an endpoint described for this operation i assume the endpoint is available and only not documented in the openapispec because i see this object also defined:
Copy code
AirbyteArchive:
      type: string
      format: binary
      description: Tarball Archive (.tar.gz) of Airbyte Configuration and Database
    ImportRead:
      type: object
AirbyteArchive => which i assume will be imported/exported
... at least i saw mentions in earlier posts that the export/import works with tar files

Have you looked at Octavia? It’s the official tool for exporting/importing Airbyte configs. https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/tree/master/octavia-cli

Hey @Patrik Deke, the exporting and importing of AIrbyte configs through the Airbyte UI removed in favor of using octavia-cli as Matt posted above. Were you able to look into Octavia and get your configs imported/exported?

Hey @Saj Dider (Airbyte) - could you share the version in which exporting configs was removed? I'd like to raise a deprecation warning for users of an Airbyte Client we've written edit: nevermind I think I found it
0.40.7
