🚀 NEXT: Ready for Migration

Option 1: Full Automated Migration

cd /Users/henry/Dev/helen/migration
./migrate.sh

This will:

  1. Extract all Hugo content
  2. Convert shortcodes
  3. Import to Ghost (with dry-run first)
  4. Generate migration report

Option 2: Step-by-Step Migration

# 1. Activate virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate

# 2. Extract content (already done)
python3 scripts/hugo_extractor.py --content-dir ../content --output-dir extracted

# 3. Convert shortcodes (already done)  
python3 scripts/shortcode_converter.py --input-file extracted/hugo_posts.json --output-file converted/ghost_posts.json
python3 scripts/shortcode_converter.py --input-file extracted/hugo_pages.json --output-file converted/ghost_pages.json

# 4. Get Ghost Admin API key
# Visit: http://localhost:2368/ghost/
# Go to: Settings → Integrations → Create Custom Integration → Copy Admin API Key

# 5. Import to Ghost
python3 scripts/ghost_importer.py \
  --ghost-url http://localhost:2368 \
  --admin-key "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" \
  --posts-file converted/ghost_posts.json \
  --pages-file converted/ghost_pages.json \
  --static-assets ../static \
  --dry-run  # Remove for actual import

📋 Manual Tasks After Migration

1. Ghost Admin Configuration

  • Site Settings: Title, description, timezone
  • Navigation: Set up primary/secondary menus
  • Design: Confirm custom theme is active
  • Integrations: Configure analytics, email

2. Content Review

  • Unknown Shortcodes: 3 current shortcodes need manual conversion
  • Image Paths: Verify all images uploaded correctly
  • Internal Links: Update any broken cross-references
  • Meta Data: Check titles, descriptions, tags

3. SEO & Redirects

  • URL Mapping: Set up redirects for changed URLs
  • Sitemap: Verify Ghost sitemap generation
  • Meta Tags: Confirm social sharing works
  • Analytics: Connect Google Analytics/Tag Manager

🔄 Dual-Site Strategy

Current State

Production:  Hugo Site    → cybermonkey.net.au (active)
Development: Ghost Site   → localhost:2368 (ready)

Recommended Deployment Path

  1. Week 1: Complete content migration to Ghost
  2. Week 2: Set up staging environment (Ghost on staging.cybermonkey.net.au)
  3. Week 3: User testing and final adjustments
  4. Week 4: Production cutover with redirects

⚠️ Known Issues & Workarounds

1. Current Date Shortcode

Issue: {{< current >}} shortcode not converted Files: 3 pages use this Workaround: Replace with current date manually or JavaScript

2. Hugo-Specific Features

Issue: Some Hugo features don't have Ghost equivalents

  • Series/Categories: Converted to tags
  • Hierarchical Content: Flattened structure
  • Custom Templates: Adapted to Ghost's model

3. Search Functionality

Issue: Hugo's JSON search not directly portable Status: Ghost theme includes basic search placeholder Future: Implement with Ghost Content API

🎯 Success Metrics

  • 100% Content Extracted: 24 posts + 43 pages
  • 90%+ Shortcodes Converted: 97% automated conversion
  • Theme Matching: Visual design preserved
  • Zero Downtime: Dual-site approach ready
  • SEO Preservation: URL redirects needed
  • User Experience: Navigation/search to verify

🚨 Ready to Proceed?

All systems are ready for migration. The Hugo site can continue running while Ghost is being populated and tested.

Recommend next action:

  1. Run the migration script: ./migrate.sh
  2. Review imported content in Ghost Admin
  3. Address the 3 manual shortcode conversions
  4. Plan staging environment deployment

Estimated time to complete migration: 2-4 hours Estimated time to production-ready: 1-2 weeks with testing
