I started to collect differences in the data models of Cockpit CMS v1 and v2 and I plan to release a migrate script/addon soon.

Some pieces are missing. Feel free to search for “TODO” and to send a pull request with changes.

In the meantime, you can use a [a fork of v1](https://codeberg.org/raffaelj/cockpit), which is compatible with PHP 8.1.

I published my draft of the Migrate addon right now. Feel free to copy and to modify it, because I won’t finish it.

Can I ask which CMS you ended up with?

Sure. It’s Drupal. I’m still not sure, if I want to make it my new main CMS, but it looks promising. Even if not. It’s always good to be familiar with a solid CMS, that has accessibility as a high priority.
