Clone Umbraco Cloud to local

Questions
1

I had some difficulties cloning a cloud project to my local environment. According to the documentation it was pretty much only about build and then run. But already during run it ran into errors while there wasn’t any ClientId, or as I later found out, a Identity object in umbraco-cloud.json.

And later on, because there were no users in the local cloned version, I couldn’t login. Actually, I still haven’t solved that yet.

But my general question is:
Would there be a better tutorial on how to set this up, without running in to all this hassle. I guess there is a more convenient way.

I run Umbraco ver 18.0.2

I used this general tutorial:

Hi @ysby

When I have issues cloning from Umbraco Cloud, I will pull down a local copy of the database and media from the production environment. You can do this by creating a backup of the database and download the .bacpac, which you can restore locally. Just make sure you change the connection string accordingly.

For the media, you can connect to the Blob container using Azure Storage Explorer, the SAS URL connection string is in your Umbraco Cloud project dashboard.
