Rsync Notion Migration Log

This document records the exact migration work completed for the Rsync course content from Notion export into the Docusaurus docs tree.

Objective

  • Move and reorganize Rsync content from raw Notion export into a clean Docusaurus structure.
  • Standardize formatting to be build-safe in MDX.
  • Keep folder/module organization aligned with the WP-CLI baseline style.

Source and Destination

ItemPath
Source export folder/home/rezriz/notion-export -to-docusaurus/rsync markdown/RSYNC Markdown
Destination docs root/opt/docker-data/apps/docusaurus/site/docs/server/cli/rsync
Migration knowledge folder/opt/docker-data/apps/docusaurus/site/docs/knowledge/docusaurus/11. Migration

Scope Migrated

  • Total source files processed: 32 markdown files.
  • Final output: 32 .mdx docs + section _category_.json files + 1 Rsync landing page.
  • CLI entry page updated at /opt/docker-data/apps/docusaurus/site/docs/server/cli/index.md.

Transformations Applied

1) Structural normalization

  • Converted Notion flat export names (with hash suffixes) into readable slugs.
  • Grouped content into numbered module folders.
  • Added _category_.json for each module with label, position, and generated index.

2) Frontmatter generation

Every migrated page includes:

id: rsync-<slug>
title: <Human title>
sidebar_label: <Sidebar label>
sidebar_position: <Position inside module>

3) Notion artifact cleanup

  • Removed <aside> wrappers and Home navigation blocks copied from Notion.
  • Removed trailing export noise and conversational leftovers.
  • Fixed malformed headings and spacing.

4) MDX/Markdown safety fixes

  • Fixed table rows with broken pipes.
  • Balanced code fences.
  • Normalized command flag formatting where needed.
  • Removed non-ASCII export artifacts that could cause parsing noise.

5) Route and navigation adjustments

  • Ensured CLI index links to the folder route (./rsync).
  • Kept Rsync as a dedicated subsection under server/cli.

Validation Performed

After migration, checks were run to confirm:

  • No remaining <aside> tags in migrated files.
  • No non-ASCII characters in migrated rsync docs.
  • All code fences are balanced.
  • All section files and category files exist under the expected folder tree.

Re-run Behavior (After Source Update)

When source files were updated, the migration was re-executed and destination content was rebuilt to reflect the latest export.

  • Previous partial set was replaced with full 32-doc structure.
  • Section mapping and frontmatter were regenerated.
  • Cleanup and validation steps were re-applied.

Environment Note

In this shell session, Node/npm were not available, so full docusaurus build validation could not be executed from the same environment.

Recommended final verification from app runtime container:

npm run build

Result

Rsync documentation is now organized, navigable, and migration-clean in Docusaurus under server/cli/rsync, with consistent module structure and sidebar metadata.
