Unable to find profile photo, location, or username

[isheyelens]

Hi, I found this project through the indieweb wiki, and was really excited to be able to transfer my Instagram account into a page that I can host myself. I'm running into some errors regarding to my profile photo and location. When I open the output page, my name doesn't show up anywhere on the page. I'm including the outputs of running docker compose. I've done this against 2 exports (HTML and JSON), and run into the same errors. Is there something else I should do?

docker compose run --rm memento-mori

Interesting -- I wonder if they fiddled around with the output format, I have a work account I can export and see what I see.

If you could run the code with the json file with '--verbose' that might give us the information we need to figure out what's going on, something like this "docker compose run --rm memento-mori --verbose".

Hmm my little sample Instagram seemed to work ok.

Can you extract your export and doing maybe a
find . | grep -i personal_information.json
to see if you have the personal_information.json, and then let me know where that file is and if you feel comfortable, share that file here (I don't think there's anything sensitive in that file besides your email address).

If you can't find that file, can you try doing a search for your username, something like this:
grep -ri "isheyelens" | grep -iv "instagram_activity"
copy your output here.
