matrix migrate

CLI to migrate one matrix account to a new one. Similar to the EMS migrator but:

1. is a nice little CLI tool, based on matrix-rust-sdk
2. allows for restarts (refreshes at the beginning)
3. it runs the operations async and is thus a lot faster

Note: It currently only migrates the rooms listing and power_levels, no user settings or profile data.

Install and use

You need a recent [Rust] installation. Then you can either clone the repository and use cargo run or use cargo-install:

cargo install https://matrix.org/acterglobal/matrix-migrate

and then can run it by just doing

matrix-migrate

Usage note

It requires both the user and password for the user from and to either as command line parameters, or preferably as environment variables (FROM_USER=, FROM_PASSWORD). It uses matrix discovery but if that doesn't work for you you can provide custom homeservers, too.

It will start with a full-sync of the room state, so depending on the size of your matrix account(s), this may take a moment.
