I have Signal on Desktop and iOS. I would like to save my chat history to an external hard drive. How do I do that?

Your only option is to export the database from the desktop app and use third party tools like https://github.com/bepaald/signalbackup-tools to decrypt the backup. However in my experience this backup does not include all of your messages and as such there is no way to get your chat history out of this walled garden.
