I use Hasura on Heroku. How can I move to work locally with a docker with current data?

Question

I now work with Hasura deployed on Heroku. I want to start to work locally with the same image. How can I do it?

This question isn't very clear. Please read [ask] and then [edit] your question with more detail. What, specifically, is the problem? — ChrisGPT was on strike, Apr 12 '20 at 19:58

Since All Hasura's data is stored on a PostgreSQL instance, we need to export the db from heroku to local db installation.

Here is one way to do it:

Step 1:

Export all data from heroku's postgresql db first (read on instructions here)
Step 2:

Create a local Hasura Instance by Docker (Instructions)
Step 3:

Import the data back to the PostgreSQL running container that you've created on step 2. (Instructions)

and also export metadata from the heroku hasura instance (/console/settings/metadata-actions) and import it on the local installation. (to recover the relationship and other schema data)
