How to migrate Bitbucket on premise to Bitbucket cloud?

[Deleted user]

Hello,

I need your help hence it is a little bit hard to find more information from forums and your documentation regarding migration of Bitbucket on premise to Bitbucket cloud. As far as I understood, we can import the source code and history using "Import from a hosting site" from your online documentation and clone our repositories. The thing that do concern me the most is migrating metadata (permissions, comments, pull requests...). Is there any easy way to transfer all the data or is there any kind of the documentation that do describe migration steps in more details?

Thanks in advance!

Have a nice day!

Regards,

Nikola

Hi Nikola, and welcome to the Community!

There's not really an easy way to transfer the metadata. If recreating it manually it's not an option, your best bet at the moment would be to use the various REST APIs of both products to recreate the data in some form:

• Pull requests
• https://developer.atlassian.com/static/rest/stash/latest/stash-rest.html#idm1341440

You can find a longer discussion in this other thread:

Hope that helps!
