moin2confluence

This script can be used to migrate MoinMoin wiki pages to Confluence

I recommend running this on your Confluence server because the files must be on the same server as Confluence to import them. You can tar up the moinmoin wiki files and copy them to the Confluence server.

Caveats

I have not tested base64 embedded images and I'm sure linked images uploaded to MoinMoin will not work
If a page was a sub page it will no longer be a sub page. The link should still work but you have to manually move it so it does not show up in the list of root pages.
Currently all code blocks are assumed to be bash scripts because most of our scripts were. To change the default to a different language edit confluence.lua and replace 'bash' in there with something else valid in Confluence

Install

# On ubuntu run these commands to install pandoc to convert between document formats
sudo apt install pandoc

Converting one page

Syntax:

./moin2confluence.sh <PageName> <wiki root> <output dir>

Example:

./moin2confluence.sh Certificates /data/webs/DVTech outputdir

The wiki root directory should be the one that contains the data directory

Converting all pages in moin moin wiki

You can invoke this bash script to call the script for each page:

for PAGE in `ls /webs/wiki/data/pages`; do echo $PAGE; ~/moin2confluence/moin2confluence.sh "$PAGE" /webs/wiki/ output/; done

Importing pages into Confluence

I would recommend importing the pages into a separate Space and then moving over the ones you want to keep. After running the moin2confluence script login to Confluence and go to Space Tools > Content Tools > Import, enter the path to the output directory and click Import

How it works

MoinMoin syntax is pretty close to mediawiki syntax so we convert to that first
We use pandoc to convert from mediawiki to markdown
Then we use the modified confluence.lua Custom Writer to convert from markdown to Confluence Storage Format
Finally you use Confluence Site Tools Import to import the Confluence Storage Format files
