Migrating from Tinybird free plan to self-hosted

Are there docs on migrating from Tinybird’s free plan to self-hosted (without losing past analytics?)

There’s a CLI command called tb datasource export which seems like it could be used to get the data out of Tinybird, but oddly there’s no parallel “import” command:

Maybe this is just a matter of poor naming and one of the other commands like “create”, “append” or “sync” could do this.

I would be more inclined to try their free plan if I had a clear exit strategy. With a small, personal blog, I’m unlikely to graduate the paid Tinybird service instead.

Thanks.

I just want to add a note: self-hosting is for getting and securing the data, not only about pricing.
