@manton 👏🏾Thank you so much for these. I can finally import my entire stack of photo posts from the old blog now!
@manton awesome work. I had to use some small JS script someone wrote to hit the micropub endpoint when I did this... the Markdown import is a huge improvement.
@manton nice. i tried to import my tumblr.zip over weekend and it said it was "importing" but never saw those posts come through. Thanks for this update, looking forward to trying. 🤞
@ericalba Thanks for letting me know about Tumblr. It should be working, but maybe something failed... If you try again and it doesn't work, can you forward some more details over to help@micro.blog?
@manton Thanks. Would love to learn more about Micro.blog IT infrastructure on which it depends. Any plan of writing about it soon? I’m an IT guy.
@manton fantastic on the markdown import. Could it support also stub/url front matter to get consistent links?
@fabio Can you send me an email (help@micro.blog) of what your front matter looks like? I think I can make it redirect old URLs, which is what the WordPress import does.
@numericcitizen @vincent The short answer is all the servers are at Linode and split across app servers, databases, and static blog hosting. Ruby (Sinatra), MySQL (most data), Redis (timelines/caching), Sidekiq (import/publishing), S3-like Object Storage (for photos), Hugo (blogs), and a few other things.
@manton I'm having no luck with this new import. At best one file (post) is importing. I am taking my folder of Markdown files, zipping it up and uploading it. I have tried playing around with the files, including removing the metadata. Even if I archive one file and import that, it does not work. Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?
@crossingthethreshold Do you see any errors in this log of import progress? Send me a few more details to help@micro.blog and I can take a closer look.
@manton I don’t see any errors, but I will take another look in a little while and also email you. Thank you.
