GitHub Pages to Serendipity (SQLite) importer

jekyll2s9y importer

This is a tool to import my Jekyll-based GitHub Pages blog/wiki into Serendipity.

Preparations

Setup Serendipity with an SQLite database. Download the database file to where you also plan to run jekyll2s9y.

Usage

Copy config.yaml.example to config.yaml and modify according to your needs. Note that jekyll_dir has to point to your Jekyll base directory.

If not done already, update the Python environment:

pipenv install

Then run the script:

pipenv run ./jekyll2s9y.py

Now copy the new database file (s9y_database_output in the config.yaml) back to your server and overwrite the old version. Also copy the uploads directory containing the media files. Then, in the Serendipity admin area, edit your configuration and change the permalink for "Entry URL structure" in any way (e.g. add a letter to the end) to have the permalinks regenerated. Afterwards, you can undo the change again.

Issues

If there are two entries where the permalink generation (i.e. stripping all emojis, etc.) results in the same permalink, only the older one can be accessed.
