Pixelfed Import & Demo Reorganisation Implementation Plan
For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (
- [ ]) syntax for tracking.
Goal: Import 36 Pixelfed posts into three permanent trips and reorganise the demo system so Italy demo content moves to a clearly-labelled italy-2026-demo trip and Japan demo content is retired.
Architecture: Three independent tasks — demo cleanup first, then real trip scaffolding, then the Python import script that routes posts by year and downloads photos. All user-facing content lives in user/pages/ and is committed to the user/ git repo; the Makefile and import script are committed to the main repo.
Tech Stack: Bash (file operations), Python 3 stdlib only (json, os, urllib.request, datetime), Grav Flat-File CMS YAML frontmatter.
Global Constraints
- Dev server:
http://localhost:8081— must be running (make start) to test cache clears user/is a separate git repo — all commits touser/pages/,user/docs/,user/themes/usegit -C user commit; Makefile andscripts/use the rootgit commit- Never read
.envdirectly - All new trip pages use
template: tripfortrip.md,template: dailiesfor the dailies index,template: mapfor map,template: statsfor stats,template: storiesfor stories — matching existing trips exactly - Input JSON:
/home/mischa/Nextcloud/Downloads/pixelfed/pixelfed-statuses.json(36 posts) - Trip routing by
created_atyear: 2023 →central-asia-2023, 2024 →us-canada-mex-2024, 2025 →italy-2025

Step 1: Copy italy-2025 demo source to italy-2026-demo
cp -r user/docs/demo/trips/italy-2025 user/docs/demo/trips/italy-2026-demo
- Step 2: Update the trip.md in the new demo source
Edit user/docs/demo/trips/italy-2026-demo/trip.md to read:
---
title: 'Italy 2026 (Demo)'
template: trip
date: '2026-09-01'
date_start: '2026-09-01'
date_end: '2026-09-08'
cover_image: ''
---
- Step 3: Remove italy-2025 demo stories from pages
rm -rf user/pages/01.trips/italy-2025/04.stories/01.val-dorcia-dawn
rm -rf user/pages/01.trips/italy-2025/04.stories/02.long-climb-montalcino
rm -rf user/pages/01.trips/italy-2025/04.stories/03.one-evening-siena
- Step 4: Remove italy-2025 demo dailies entries from pages
rm -rf user/pages/01.trips/italy-2025/01.dailies/2025-09-05-0800-rolling-through-val-dorcia.entry
rm -rf user/pages/01.trips/italy-2025/01.dailies/2025-09-05-1900-siena-at-dusk.entry
rm -rf user/pages/01.trips/italy-2025/01.dailies/2025-09-06-1200-towers-of-san-gimignano.entry
rm -rf user/pages/01.trips/italy-2025/01.dailies/2025-09-06-1800-into-florence.entry
rm -rf user/pages/01.trips/italy-2025/01.dailies/2025-09-08-0900-tyrrhenian-coast.entry
Check actual folder names first in case any differ:
ls user/pages/01.trips/italy-2025/01.dailies/
Remove all folders listed (they are all demo content).
- Step 5: Add missing dailies.md to italy-2025
Create user/pages/01.trips/italy-2025/01.dailies/dailies.md:
---
title: 'The Journey'
template: dailies
content:
items: '@self.children'
order:
by: date
dir: desc
filter:
published: true
---
- Step 6: Update italy-2025 trip title
Edit user/pages/01.trips/italy-2025/trip.md:
---
title: 'Cycling Tuscany 2025'
template: trip
date: '2025-10-11'
date_start: '2025-10-11'
date_end: '2025-10-16'
cover_image: ''
---
- Step 7: Remove japan demo content from pages
rm -rf user/pages/01.trips/japan-korea-2026/01.dailies/2026-03-25-1540-wheels-down-narita.entry
rm -rf user/pages/01.trips/japan-korea-2026/01.dailies/2026-03-26-1000-sakura-in-ueno-park.entry
rm -rf user/pages/01.trips/japan-korea-2026/01.dailies/2026-03-27-0715-summit-clouds-and-snow.entry

rm -rf user/pages/01.trips/japan-korea-2026/01.dailies/2026-03-31-0730-last-morning-in-arashiyama.entry
rm -rf user/pages/01.trips/japan-korea-2026/01.dailies/2026-04-01-0900-seoul-calling.entry
rm -rf user/pages/01.trips/japan-korea-2026/01.dailies/2026-04-02-1100-gyeongbokgung-and-beyond.entry
rm -rf user/pages/01.trips/japan-korea-2026/04.stories/01.the-thousand-gates
- Step 8: Update the Makefile demo targets
Replace the entire demo-load and demo-reset blocks (lines 42–64) with:
demo-load:
# Load italy-2026-demo trip (create pages if absent)
mkdir -p user/pages/01.trips/italy-2026-demo/01.dailies user/pages/01.trips/italy-2026-demo/02.map user/pages/01.trips/italy-2026-demo/03.stats user/pages/01.trips/italy-2026-demo/04.stories
cp user/docs/demo/trips/italy-2026-demo/trip.md user/pages/01.trips/italy-2026-demo/trip.md 2>/dev/null || true
cp user/docs/demo/trips/italy-2026-demo/map.md user/pages/01.trips/italy-2026-demo/02.map/map.md 2>/dev/null || true
cp user/docs/demo/trips/italy-2026-demo/stats.md user/pages/01.trips/italy-2026-demo/03.stats/stats.md 2>/dev/null || true

cp -r user/docs/demo/trips/italy-2026-demo/dailies/. user/pages/01.trips/italy-2026-demo/01.dailies/
cp user/docs/demo/trips/italy-2026-demo/*.gpx user/pages/01.trips/italy-2026-demo/ 2>/dev/null || true
docker exec intotheeast_grav bash -c "cd /var/www/html && php bin/grav clearcache"
demo-reset:
rm -rf user/pages/01.trips/italy-2026-demo
docker exec intotheeast_grav bash -c "cd /var/www/html && php bin/grav clearcache"
- Step 9: Verify demo-load and demo-reset work
make demo-load
Expected: italy-2026-demo appears at http://localhost:8081 trips listing. Confirm stories and GPX map load.
make demo-reset
Expected: italy-2026-demo disappears from the trips listing. italy-2025 and japan-korea-2026 are unaffected.
- Step 10: Commit user repo changes
Includes the new demo source, cleaned pages, updated italy-2025 title, and new dailies.md:
git -C user add -A
git -C user commit -m "chore: move italy demo to italy-2026-demo; clean japan and italy-2025 demo content"
- Step 11: Commit main repo changes (Makefile only)
git add Makefile
git commit -m "chore: update demo-load/demo-reset for italy-2026-demo; retire japan demo"
Task 2: Create real trip page trees
Files:
- Create:
user/pages/01.trips/central-asia-2023/(trip.md + 4 subfolders with index pages) - Create:
user/pages/01.trips/us-canada-mex-2024/(trip.md + 4 subfolders with index pages)
Interfaces:
-
Produces:
central-asia-2023andus-canada-mex-2024trip folder trees with01.dailies/dailies.mdpresent — required for the import script to write entries into them -
Step 1: Create Central Asia 2023 trip tree
mkdir -p user/pages/01.trips/central-asia-2023/01.dailies
mkdir -p user/pages/01.trips/central-asia-2023/02.map
mkdir -p user/pages/01.trips/central-asia-2023/03.stats
mkdir -p user/pages/01.trips/central-asia-2023/04.stories

- Step 2: Create Northern America 2024 trip tree

- Step 3: Verify trips appear in the site
Open http://localhost:8081 — the Past Trips section should list Central Asia 2023 and Northern America 2024.
- Step 4: Commit to user repo
git -C user add user/pages/01.trips/central-asia-2023 user/pages/01.trips/us-canada-mex-2024
git -C user commit -m "feat: add central-asia-2023 and us-canada-mex-2024 trip page trees"

- Step 2: Add make target
In Makefile, after the demo-reset block, add:
pixelfed-import:
python3 scripts/pixelfed-import.py
- Step 3: Run the import
make pixelfed-import
Expected output (approximately):

Done. Posts per trip: {'central-asia-2023': 22, 'us-canada-mex-2024': 12, 'italy-2025': 2}
- Step 4: Verify entries in the browser
Open http://localhost:8081/trips/central-asia-2023/dailies — confirm entries appear in reverse-date order with photos.
Open one entry (e.g. the first Central Asia post) — confirm the hero image displays and the body text is readable.
- Step 5: Verify entries in Admin2
Log in at http://localhost:8081/admin. Navigate to Pages → find one of the new entry pages. Confirm the media tab shows the downloaded photos.
- Step 6: Commit main repo (script + Makefile)
git add scripts/pixelfed-import.py Makefile
git commit -m "feat: add pixelfed-import script and make target"
- Step 7: Commit user repo (imported entries)
git -C user add user/pages/01.trips/central-asia-2023/01.dailies
git -C user add user/pages/01.trips/us-canada-mex-2024/01.dailies

git -C user commit -m "feat: import 36 Pixelfed posts into central-asia-2023, us-canada-mex-2024, italy-2025"
- Step 8: Push to Gitea
make content-push
Expected: push completes, production webhook fires.
