How to transfer users from one instance of Appwrite to another

[AidenY69]

💭 Description

I am doing a complete refactor of my codebase. I'm figuring the easiest option will be to create a new instance of AppWrite on another server. I want to preserve my users. Is there any documentation or guidance on how to do a transfer of just the existing userbase?

You can dump all the user accounts into a JSON File via Users API & then create new accounts on the new Appwrite instance using relevant methods depending on the type of password hash used.

See - https://appwrite.io/docs/references/cloud/server-nodejs/users

I dumped all the users into a JSON, but it doesn't store the passwords. How do I transfer passwords with the user details? I can't even seem to dump hashed passwords

Also I'm reading the API link and it seems importing hashed passwords isn't a thing either?

Another option is to use Appwrite's migrations feature.

It seems like that's only from self-hosted to the cloud, not from a self-hosted to a self-hosted?
