I started playing around with Metabase locally to decide if it’s the right tool. Now I’m going to spin up a docker container on EC2 but realized I’ve built a bunch of stuff locally that I’d like to save. Is there a way to port the queries/question/dashboards over without having to rebuild it?
Hi @john60
Yes, you simply migrate the application database. If you didn’t setup that initially, then you’re using H2 and should migrate to Postgres or MariaDB/MySQL instead.
It is an all-or-nothing migration, so don’t setup the new instance, since then the migration will not work.

And you can find many examples in the forum by searching.
