Hi all. Quick question: is it possible to migrate a Peertube account from one server to to another? Similar to what is possible on Mastodon? As in, you do not migrate your content, but you take your follows + followers along?

    Looking into this more it seems there’s an import and export, but not like a move like mastodon. Here’s from the page:

    IMPORT

    You can import an archive created by another PeerTube website.

    This is an import tool and not a migration tool. It’s the reason why data (like channels or videos) is duplicated and not moved from your previous PeerTube website.

    The import process will automatically:

    Update your account metadata (display name, description, avatar...)  
    Update your user settings (autoplay or P2P policy, notification settings...). It does not update your user email, username or password.  
    Add accounts/servers in your mute list  
    Add likes/dislikes  
    Send a follow request to your subscriptions  
    Create channels if they do not already exist  
    Create playlists if they do not already exist  
    Add watched videos in your video history  
    If the archive contains video files, create videos if they do not already exist  
    

    The following data objects are not imported:

    Comments  
    Followers (accounts will need to re-follow your channels)  
    

    Select the archive file to import

    EXPORT

    You can request an archive of your account containing:

    Your account settings with avatar file  
    Your channels with banner and avatar files  
    Your muted accounts and servers  
    Your comments  
    Your likes and dislikes  
    Your subscriptions and followers  
    Your video playlists with thumbnail files  
    Your videos with thumbnail, caption files. Video files can also be included in the archive  
    Your video history  
    

    The exported data will contain multiple directories:

    A directory containing an export in ActivityPub format, readable by any compliant software  
    A directory containing an export in custom PeerTube JSON format that can be used to re-import your account on another PeerTube instance  
    A directory containing static files (thumbnails, avatars, video files etc.)  
    

    You can only request one archive at a time.
