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)
@if (isEmailEnabled()) {
An email will be sent when the import process is complete.
}
@if (latestImport) {
Latest import on: {{ latestImport.createdAt | ptDate: 'medium' }}
}
@if (hasPendingImport()) {
You can't re-import an archive because you already have an import that is currently being processed by PeerTube.
} @else {
@if (archiveUploadFinished && !error) {
Upload completed. Your archive import will be processed as soon as possible.
}
