We are a non-profit that currently uses Taiga Cloud. With the new pricing, we are looking at lower cost options, including hosting Taiga ourselves. I was wondering what the procedure would be for migrating our existing projects from Taiga Cloud to self-hosted. I found this article about exporting and importing projects – Can anyone tell me whether the data migration would be as simple as following this procedure, or are there other complications? (I realize we would need to setup the same set of users in the new system)

Hi there,

As long as you set up the same set of users and follow the procedure, it should be that simple.

There are cases where a project is too big to reasonably uploaded via the web, but there is a Django manage command to load a project dump as well, so it can be done from the CLI.

Best regards!
