How to "Move" a Space to Another Homeserver

4 months ago by halfdome to c/matrix

Hi there, I am struggling with moving a space from one home server to another. By that I mean, I want my space to "move" from #myspace:oldmatrix.org to #myspace:newmatrix.org.

I already have an account on both servers and made my account on newmatrix.org an admin user. In the Element client, I know how to create local & published addresses for individual rooms within myspace. But I do not know, how to create such an address for the space itself.

It would be great if one of you could help me. If the solution required using the API, that would also be fine.

Thanks!

You will need to create the address (or alias) using your newmatrix.org account. Check the space's settings and see if that could be done

Are you aware of a client that allows me to do that in the interface? I didn't find any such option in the space settings in Element nor Fluffy Chat.
