Export Confluence HTML to Github Wiki

Confluence allows its HTML pages to be exported in a single zip. There is a Confluence-to-Github-Markdown tool that allows automatic export of these HTML files to markdown .md files with a single command from the core directory:

$ confluence-to-github-markdown

Now you can create separate pages in the GitHub wiki with these md files. However, there are a certain limitations that need to be manually handled to complete the process.

1. Image. GitHub wiki does not support uploading images. Images are posted via URLs in the wiki. Therefore, currently we need to upload the images to a public location and access the URL from there.

2. Metadata. The tool also converts metadata (which is actually good I think) to md. We need to manually remove them wherever unnecessary instead of showing them as plain text in the GitHub wiki.

3. The converter tool creates the name of the md file from the html title. If you have ' or any special characters in the title of your html, it will fail to convert and throw js errors. To fix, change the title header from something such as "Rakshak’s RESTful API" to "Rakshak RESTful API" before executing the converter tool.

4. Internal links (links to named anchors in the markdown) are not handled by the converter.  The anchors must be manually added.

5. Links to other pages in the confluence wiki are preserved as it is, rather than having them as a relative link. Therefore they need to be replaced by the respective new link in the markdown wiki.

6. Video embedding is not supported in Markdown. Therefore, the converter tool simply ignores any video files embedded in the HTML. To fix this, in the final wiki pages, manually add the videos as a simple HTML links as in, [screencast](https://www.youtube.com/embed/S8juo0Dx68I).

Installing Gravitee API Gateway

Gravitee running

Configuring and Starting Gravitee API Managemant Gateway

First install and start the dependencies:

1) Mongo
$ mongod

2) Elastic search
$ cd elasticsearch-6.3.2/bin/
$ ./elasticsearch




Starting Gravitee API Managemant Gateway
Download and extract the project zips of graviteeio.

First, Start the API Gateway
$ cd graviteeio-full-1.18.1/graviteeio-gateway-1.18.1/bin
$ ./graviteeio

Now accessing http://localhost:8082/ should give you the message:
No context-path matches the request URI.


Configure graviteeio-gateway-1.18.1/config/gravitee.yml
By default, the gravitee data is stored in the mongo database gravitee.
You can change these default configurations.


Then, start the Managemant API.
$ cd graviteeio-full-1.18.1/graviteeio-management-api-1.18.1/bin
$ ./gravitee

Now you can access http://localhost:8083/management/apis/ which should give an empty response [ ].

By now, the gravitee database in MongoDB should have the below collections:
events, ratelimit - for the API gateway
audits, metadata, roles, views - for the Management API

More configuration details such as using an LDAP provider and configuring OAuth2 Authentication can be found from the official documentation.


Next, start the Portal.
$ cd graviteeio-full-1.18.1/graviteeio-management-ui-1.18.1

You have the choice of starting the Portal with Python3 or Node.

Let's go with Python3.
$ python3 -m http.server
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 (http://0.0.0.0:8000/) ...

Now you can access the portal from http://localhost:8000/#!/


You may further configure the portal to fit your requirements.

Configuring and Starting Gravitee Access Managemant

First, start the gateway
$ cd gravitee-am-gateway-standalone-2.0.4/bin/
$ ./gravitee

Now you should get an empty response to http://localhost:8092/
Now, run the AM Managemant API.

$ cd gravitee-am-management-api-standalone-2.0.4/bin/
$ ./gravitee

Now, accessing http://localhost:8093/management/domains/ should give you an empty response.


Finally, let's start the last component of our ecosystem.
The AM Managemant UI, which is a client-side Angular application.

The directory of the Managemant UI is at,
$ cd gravitee-am-webui-2.0.4/

You will need an HTTP server such as Apache or Nginx. Then you may configure the Management UI following the documentation.
