There was a request for a backup of the old forums since they have gone down. It wasn’t a stand alone post, but it was in another thread and I’m having trouble finding the post now.
I contacted Muut and they were able to give me a jason backup which isn’t all that human readable, but has all of our data in it.
maslowcnc.json.gz (1.1 MB)
FYI - I did a quick search for “.stl” and found 4 references in that file. None were part of a file name.
@bar an I post that file on
https://www.disciplesofcnc.com/
for anyone that wants to work with it in the future?
Thank you
I am working on converting the file to static HTML.
Do you have a server to host the static file on?
Thank you
I’ve changed plans a bit, going to generate Markdown files of all the threads. That will make it easy to post to GitHub and have them host it with browsing/search enabled.
Here is a browsable index of the old forums: https://github.com/pplante/maslowcnc-old-forums
I did not mirror images hosted on Muut, they appear to be browsable at this time. Maybe I should mirror them to the repo?
I’d mirror it.
Thank you
Images are mirrored, here is an example post.
Hi @phil I am reading a thread where it seems that the images are not mirrored - am I missing something, or perhaps there were different ways of linking images in the old forums and only one way is being picked up?
@phil this is absolutely brilliant!!! Great use of github and quick work parsing the file.
Looks like the GitHub search index was displaying results from before I mirrored the images. I triggered a reindex by removing and then adding all the markdown files, so the index is up to date now!
fantastic, thanks @phil
