Import the Content from a Confluence Instance to a (new) BookStack Instance.
sudo apt install python3 # Testet with python 3.10
pip3 install bs4You will probably have to set/change the API Limit, see: https://demo.bookstackapp.com/api/docs#rate-limits
Edit importer.py to match your Environment.
confluence_token = "********************************"
confluence_baseURL = "https://confluence-server.your-domain.tld" # No trailing slash
bookstack_baseURL = "https://bookstack.your-domain.tld" # No trailing slash
bookstack_token_id = "****************"
bookstack_token_secret = "****************"You can create your Personal Accestoken for Confluence at https://<domain-of-confluence-instance>/plugins/personalaccesstokens/usertokens.action
For BookStack you have to create a Token ID & Token Secret, which can be created at https://<domain-of-bookstack-instance>/settings/users/1/create-api-token.
You may need to change the User-ID to match your Requirements.
You can also find this at Settings -> Users -> Select a User and scroll down to API-Settings
After changing the settings for your environment, run the importer
python importer.py| Confluence | Bookstack | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| --- | Shelvs | |
| Space | Books | |
| --- | Chapter | |
| Page | Page | |
| Blogpost | Page |
As you can see from the Table above, the Structure of the Pages, that can be used in Confluence (Every Page can have Children, which intern can have children and so on...), is not transported to BookStack.
In theory, 4 (or 3 if Spaces (Confluence) -> Shelvs (Bookstack)) hirachies can be used. In the current state, all Pages that are part of a space, get imported to a book, losing the hierarchical structure.
- Preview-Images are not clickable. Could be resolved by wrapping all image-containers by a link to open the image in a new tab.
- Linked Documents don't get converted to the new attachment link. Attachments can only be downloaded through the attachment section on the left.
- Inter-Site links don't get converted.
- Import parts of the structure
- Check how long the Text of a Page is, if it is shorten that a given number, create a chapter rather than a page
- If it contains no images/attachments, create it as a chapter rather then a page
