Cloning a Firebase Project

[Kathy Qian]

Hey all,

I'm looking to clone an entire Firebase project to create a testing version of the database with the existing security rules and user accounts in place. For example, on CloudSQL it is possible to duplicate an entire database with one click. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks!
Kathy

Hi Kathy,

There's no tool to help you clone a Firebase project at present. Sorry.

Kato,

What about manually copying piece by piece? Moving the data and authentication rules seems to be easy. It's the actual user accounts that are tripping me up.

I have a users.json downloaded using this method: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B94LePkXiqa6VUNoY0RCOGlqUzg/view - how can I upload these accounts to a fresh Firebase?

Thanks,

Kathy

There's nothing available for that either. I'd recommend creating new accounts with some default password and sending reset emails.

Note that, if you need to switch authentication mechanisms or move off of Firebase, we can provide a courtesy export of your users, and in some special cases (10k+ users) we can help with imports for people moving onto the Firebase platform. But these are one-offs and we can't scale this for general use to create staging servers, regular copies of your databases, or any other use cases other than liberating your data.

Hi Kathy,

Unfortunately, you're getting throttled by our security algorithms. You'll need to slow down and send those slowly over a longer time frame. I'd suggest no more than ten or twenty per minute, although there's no fixed number I can offer here (abuse vectors are based on reputation and undisclosed rules).

I realize that's frustrating, but security is balanced with convenience.

I see. Okay, I've got about 500 users and I just created a loop to create new accounts like you suggested. However, I'm clearly getting flagged as I'm getting the following error:

{code: "auth/too-many-requests", message: "We have blocked all requests from this device due to unusual activity. Try again later."}

How do I get around this?

Thanks!

Kathy
