Assuming a complete workspace backup is taken - does anyone know of tooling that will reproduce a Slack backup in a web browser, along with search?

Use case - if an org has to migrate away from Slack, but wants to preserve any institutional knowledge trapped in there.

EDIT: Ah, I think I found one such tool:

@awfulwoman@indieweb.social We moved from Slack to a self-hosted instance of Mattermost.
I used
https://github.com/rusq/slackdump to get a better dump than slack would permit.

While I imported parts of the dump into Mattermost, I think I used
https://github.com/kununu/slackdump2html to test making archived data availble via the web browser.

See
https://github.com/rusq/slackdump?tab=readme-ov-file#previewing-results for other options recommended by slackdump.
