This is the complete, real migration of @mk.gg from the Bluesky PDS to a new Cirrus PDS Worker.
The more boring bits are sped-up to get it under the 3 minute video limit. The real thing took about 12 mins.

Thanks to Tap, I have a live, full database of all @standard.site publications and documents in... 250 lines and a couple hours, not having ever written code for AT.
The rest is just serving an Atom feed from a local database.
Kind of incredible! (But now sleep.)

It's really cool that people are now using Bluesky not only from servers they host themselves, but servers they *wrote* themselves (or someone else here did), adding features the standard one doesn't have ❤️
Like, I now have 2FA again on my PDS because @baileytownsend.dev just went and built it

Cirrus PDS now support passkey auth. It was a bit of a puzzle adding it to a tool where where the admin is all CLI, but I'm really pleased with the flow I came up with. Give it a go!

If you don't know what Cirrus is, it's a really easy way to host your own Bluesky data

Currently waiting for TLS certificates to happen.
