ArchiveBox is an open-source self-hosted web archive tool that helps users to create a full-text search index of their web archive collections. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to install ArchiveBox on Clear Linux Latest.
Before you can install ArchiveBox, you must have the following:
It is recommended to start with an updated and upgraded system before installing any software by executing the following command:
sudo swupd update
sudo swupd upgarde
This will update your system to the current version of Clear Linux.
ArchiveBox requires some dependencies to be installed to work successfully. To install them run the command:
sudo swupd bundle-add python3-basic python3-dev python3-setuptools python3-wheel libssl-dev libffi-dev sqlite3-dev
After installing the dependencies, we now need to clone ArchiveBox from Git repository. Open your terminal and run the following command:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox.git
Once the repository has been cloned, navigate to the directory where the repository is cloned using:
cd ArchiveBox
ArchiveBox can be installed using pip, which is Python’s package manager. Run the following command to install:
sudo pip3 install .
The installation process will take a few minutes to complete.
To initialize ArchiveBox, run the following command:
archivebox init
This will create a new directory called “archive” which is where ArchiveBox will store archived websites. Also, it will create a SQLite3 database that will be used to index archived websites.
Now that ArchiveBox has been installed and initialized, you can start using it to archive websites. To start the Archiver, run the following command:
archivebox server
This will start the server on port 8000. You can access the ArchiveBox web interface by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000.
ArchiveBox is now installed on Clear Linux Latest, and you can start using it to archive websites. With ArchiveBox, you can create a full-text search index of your web archive, making it easy to find archived websites quickly.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
