Converts and deploys a Markdown file to Confluence.
This project was created to sync Journal posts to Confluence as part of the CI process. However, it's able to more generally handle Markdown files that have front-matter at the top, such as those used in Hugo, Jeykll, etc.
To install the project, you need to first install the dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Alternatively, you can use the provided Dockerfile:
docker build -t markdown-to-confluence .
usage: markdown-to-confluence.py [-h] [--git GIT] [--api_url API_URL]
[--username USERNAME] [--password PASSWORD]
[--space SPACE] [--ancestor_id ANCESTOR_ID]
[--header HEADER] [--dry-run]
[posts [posts ...]]
Converts and deploys a markdown post to Confluence
positional arguments:
posts Individual files to deploy to Confluence (takes
precendence over --git)
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--git GIT The path to your Git repository (default:

--api_url API_URL The URL to the Confluence API (e.g.
https://wiki.example.com/rest/api/)
--username USERNAME The username for authentication to Confluence
(default: env('CONFLUENCE_USERNAME'))
--password PASSWORD The password for authentication to Confluence
(default: env('CONFLUENCE_PASSWORD'))
--space SPACE The Confluence space where the post should reside
(default: env('CONFLUENCE_SPACE'))
--ancestor_id ANCESTOR_ID
The Confluence ID of the parent page to place posts
under (default: env('CONFLUENCE_ANCESTOR_ID'))
--header HEADER Extra header to include in the request when sending
HTTP to a server. May be specified multiple times.
(default: env('CONFLUENCE_HEADER_<NAME>'))
--dry-run Print requests that would be sent- don't actually make
requests against Confluence (note: we return empty
responses, so this might impact accuracy)
This project assumes that the Markdown files being processed have YAML formatted front-matter at the top. In order for a file to be processed, we expect the following front-matter to be present:
wiki:
share: true
There are two ways to deploy a post:
This project was originally created to keep an instance of Journal in sync with a Confluence instance. To that end, this project is able to be run as part of a CI/CD pipeline, taking the Markdown files modified in the latest commit and syncing them to the upstream Confluence instance.
To enable this as part of your CI/CD pipeline, run markdown-to-confluence, providing the --git flag:
markdown-to-confluence.py --git /path/to/your/repo
You may wish to deploy a post on-demand, rather than building this process into your CI/CD pipeline. To do this, just put the filenames of the posts you wish to deploy to Confluence as arguments:
markdown-to-confluence.py /path/to/your/post.md
