Public to Private Node Migration

Hi All, Me Again,

I wanted to see if its at all possible to migrate the nodes associated with my account on the public instance, to my future account on the private instance?

I have sent out a few validation devices to beta users, and would ideally be able to migrate them onto the private instance without reclaiming their devices, as this would be a bit of a logistical nightmare.

What can/ can't be done about this? I did not save the certification files of the nodes when i claimed them (which was likely a huge mistake), but im hoping we can still get this over the line somehow?

Best wishes,

JC

If your firmware has self claiming or assisted claiming which was used directly by your beta users, then it would be a quite hard. However, if you have yourselves claimed the nodes using host claiming, atleast you would have the admin access. Having a copy of public certificates would have been very convenient, but seems that this may not be the case. However, note that the certificates claimed using host claiming are stored in ~/.espressif/rainmaker/claim_data. So if you have not deleted this folder, these may still be there. If not, send us an email on esp-rainmaker-admin@espressif.com with a list of your node_ids. We will validate these and get their corresponding public certificates, which can then be registered into your deployment.

Hi Piyush,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I did indeed claim these nodes myself, and will get a list of NodeIDs in need of migration to the given email in due course.

A note about the .espressif claiming data location, is there any way to modify this? I work entirely in devcontainers, so in many cases my claim data has been wiped out due to restarting / stopping my container.

Would be great if i could give claiming an arg to drop the data into? I apologise in advance if this already exists!

Regards,

JC
