Guide on migrating connections from Airbyte cloud trial to self-hosted instance
Hi team. How would I migrate connections from my Airbyte cloud trial instance (which is about to expire) to my org’s new self-hosted instance?

<@U05JENRCF7C> hi.
Sorry to come back to this. We got the setup for self-hosted done and I’ve been trying to figure out where I can get the config files from the cloud-hosted version that I was using in the trial so that I can migrate to the new self-hosted one. Is it something you’d be aware of?
Terraform or using directly API is a way to get configuration https://reference.airbyte.com/reference/getting-started
I put links above how to do that.
For more guidance I think I should start working as an Airbyte consultant and charge money 
I don’t know if there are any docs for that, but you can do this via terraform
https://reference.airbyte.com/reference/terraform-provider-and-sdks
When you get you your configuration as terraform code, then you can change server_url in provider configuration to point your self-hosted instance.
If you want to keep state of connections, you need to copy them manually.
I’d recommend to pause connections when migrating.
Thanks. I’ll share this with the Devops team. I thought there would be something for me to do on the Airbyte Cloud instance that I manage.
