Finally, bzed.de is back online and I m planning to start blogging again! Part
of the reason why I became inactive was the usage of
ikiwiki, which is great,
but at end unnecessarily complicated. So I ve migrated by page to
gohugo.io - a static website generator, written in go.
Hugo has an active community and it is easy to create themes for it or to
enhance it. Also it is using plain
Markdown syntax
instead of special ikiwiki syntax mixed into it - should make it easy to
migrate away again if necessary.
In case somebody else would like to convert from ikiwiki to Hugo, here is the
script I ve hacked together to migrate my old blog posts.
#!/bin/bash
find . -type f -name '*.mdwn' while read i; do
tmp= mktemp
echo '+++'
slug="$(echo $i sed 's,.*/,,;s,\.mdwn$,,')"
echo "slug = \"$ slug \""
echo "title = \"$(echo $i sed 's,.*/,,;s,\.mdwn$,,;s,_, ,g;s/\b\(.\)/\u\1/;s,debian,Debian,g')\""
if grep -q 'meta updated' $i; then
echo -n 'date = '
sed '/meta updated/!d;/.*meta updated.*/s,.*=",,;s,".*,,;s,^,",;s,$,",' $i
else
echo -n 'date = '
git log --diff-filter=A --follow --format='"%aI"' -1 -- $i
fi
if grep -q '\[\[!tag' $i; then
echo -n 'tags ='
sed '/\[\[!tag/!d;s,[^ ]*tag ,,;s,\]\],,;s,\([^ ]*\),"\1",g;s/ /,/g;s,^,[,;s,$,],' $i
fi
echo 'categories = ["linux"]'
echo 'draft = false'
echo '+++'
echo ''
sed -e '/\[\[!tag/d' \
-e '/meta updated/d' \
-e '/\[\[!plusone *\]\]/d' \
-e 's,\[\[!img files[0-9/]*/\([^ ]*\) alt="\([^"]*\).*,,g' \
-e 's,\[\([^]]*\)\](\([^)]*\)),[\1](\2),g' \
-e 's,\[\[\([^ ]*\) \([^]]*\)\]\],[\1](\2),g' \
$i
> $tmp
#cat $tmp; rm $tmp
mv $tmp echo $i sed 's,\.mdwn,.md,g'
done
