Thethingsnetwork - move over to chirpstack

Hi, I have used The thingsnetwork for some time now with about 1000+ devices, and would liket to use own dedicated server and found that ChirpStack seems to be best option here.

Anyone has experience regarding moving all data from Thethingsnetwork - to Chirpstack. Is it rather smooth operation or more like a challenge? I dont want to register all devices again as the qty is 1000+ and they are located all over the country.

Thanks!

This a fairly common task that comes up for discussion:

I wouldn’t say it’s easy, but it can be done smoothly. The approach I’ve commonly used is to import devices and session keys into the new server, than switch the gateway configuration from under them. Devices should continue operating without requiring a rejoin. This is done via (gRPC) API scripting, and I usually roll it out on a site-by-site basis, with sufficient testing and verification.
