#MOOver
It's wild to think about it being over a year since anyone can easily restore an Atmosphere account easily on pdsmoover.com/restore all from their web browser

I have a WIP branch for it, but the idea is if you have over 1k blobs PDS MOOver will go ahead and allow you to migrate over, and slowly move your blobs over for you following the 1k per user every 24 hour limit. Then notify you when done. Missing blobs will hopefully be a thing of the past. Mostly.

@pds.dad I'm teaching vivarium (my atmosphere in a box) some new tricks, including being able to run two PDS's that accounts can be migrated between. I'm wondering if you would be interested in looking at setting it up for the test suite for PDS moover?

yep! We have a fancy rotation key tool in PDS MOOver to help with rotation keys

You can move your PDS and change appviews without your account blipping. Your DID remains immutable and your followers go with you.

PDS Moover by @pds.dad is a very easy way to change hosts, there are even recommendations, and no one should notice a difference.

My PR to the PDS to move from IP rate limit for blob uploads to the user's DID just merged 🥳.

This means backend services are no longer limited to 1k blob uploads per PDS, and is limited to 1k per user. This will allow PDS MOOver to do a upload queue for larger accounts in the future.
feat: change the uploadBlob endpoint to use DID by fatfingers23 · Pull Request #4748 · bluesky-social/atproto
Since the uploadBlob endpoint is an authenticated endpoint we have access to the user&#39;s did and can use that as a key along with the ip for rate limits. This would help with backends that do la...

Thanks

I've been using PDS Moover as a test to see if I've gotten the migration specs working, and if it had enough features to be a test harness for even the most involved atproto app so I figured I'd offer.

If anyone else is interested in leveraging Vivarium for testing reach out

This is very much early stage. I am focusing on publicly hosted PDS' first, then self-hosted. Additionally, it will gain some more "hobbit flair" as it moves to an interactive CLI. Finally, it will also highlight other tools (like pdsmoover.com) for migrating and/or backups.

Done! It find's new PDSs by the pds host, so it had it as pds.oso.social. Added a picture and link.

You need the rotation key to be able to point your PLC record to the new PDS URL (and also probably to update your signing key for the atproto repo).

I believe that PDS Moover lets you add your own rot key to a PLC identity, so if you did that, you can also do the recovery process.

网站建好了会跟你说一声😆
我有迁移过两次,所幸都没遇到什么问题(有些人不幸地会遇到,哦对迁移的话通常都是用这个网站 pdsmoover.com 目前好像是最靠谱的,有什么问题也可以问网站开发者 @pds.dad :) 之前看过网上有人迁移中遇到问题,他都会很快回复协助)
期待看到你的新handle!

Yes it's meant to persist your identity. So if you're on a PDS and it crashes, no backups, or the PDS is hacked and you can no longer access it you can use an adversarial migration to move to a new PDS with the same did and it's more or less like nothing happened. It's what pdsmoover/restore does

@besthenning.eurosky.social Kurze Frage: ist es Absicht, dass der Account kein sichtbares Profilbild/Banner hat?
Falls nein: fehlende Bilder können mit der Migration zu Eurosky zusammenhängen. Das sind "missing blobs", die man nachladen kann.

does PDS MOOver work with did:web accounts? I can never tell

(yeah I know I have to update the json manually on my side, but i'm wondering like, how much does it automatize the process outside of that, and does it generate & give me the new signing key to put in the json?)

Maybe add community PDSs so people know they can migrate to other ones 👀

Something kind of like this, along the same lines
