Error to import project using api/1.0/migration/imports

[Antoine Ameline]

Hi

I have a bitbucket data-center server deployed on a Debian server.

I've been asked to deploy bitbucket data-center on our cluster. I did it using the helm chart provided by Atlassian.

Now I want to migrate my projects and repositories from my old instance to the new one (same data-center version 8.16.2 with a postgres base behind it).

To do this, I'd like to use the API described in the documentation 

No problem with export api it works well.

curl --location 'https://git.xxx.xxx.xx/bitbucket/rest/api/1.0/migration/exports' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Authorization: Basic XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' --data '{"repositoriesRequest":{"includes":[{"projectKey":"MDCONF","slug":"*"}]}}'

The file is generated. I copied it to my volume using "kubectl cp". The file size is 100 MB

My problem is to import the file in bitbucket.

Looking at documentation, I use the rest api/1.0/migration/imports but with failure 400 Bad Request 

First try with relative path to the file

curl --location 'https://git.xxx.xxx.xx/bitbucket/rest/api/1.0/migration/imports' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Authorization: Basic XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' --data '{"archivePath":"Bitbucket_export_2.tar"}'

{

    "errors": [

        {

            "context": null,

            "message": "Invalid import request, the archive 'Bitbucket_export_2.tar' could not be found",

            "exceptionName": "com.atlassian.bitbucket.validation.ArgumentValidationException"

        }

    ]

}

Second try with full path

curl --location 'https://git.xxx.xxx.xx/bitbucket/rest/api/1.0/migration/imports' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Authorization: Basic XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' --data '{"archivePath":"/var/atlassian/application-data/bitbucket/shared/data/migration/import/Bitbucket_export_2.tar"}'

{

    "errors": [

        {

            "context": null,

            "message": "Import archive location is invalid.",

            "exceptionName": "com.atlassian.bitbucket.validation.ArgumentValidationException"

        }

    ]

}

For the problem with the relative path, I checked my environment variables and $BITBUCKET_HOME is well set :

BITBUCKET_HOME=/var/atlassian/application-data/bitbucket

Looking at files, all seems to be ok : 

How do I specify the archivePath to make the API work?

Thanks for your help

Antoine

When you export a project/repo, the export tar file is created in <Bitbucket-home>/shared/data/migration/export folder, this tar file needs to be copied to <Bitbucket-home>/shared/data/migration/import folder and after that you would have to run the Import API call

Hi Neeraj, can you please give us a hint what might be the reason if the export works, but the import from the location you mentioned results in a "You are not permitted to access this resource" response? The credentials used are the same. We're using the Docker container 8.19.1 with an internal database.
