ArchiveBox is a self-hosted web archiving software designed to save URLs from multiple sources such as web pages, RSS feeds, and bookmarks. It can be installed on various operating systems including Linux. In this guide, we will show you how to install ArchiveBox on Fedora Server Latest.
Before proceeding to the installation process, ensure that you have these prerequisites:
First, we need to install some required packages for ArchiveBox. Open the terminal on your Fedora Server, update your package manager, and run the following command:
sudo dnf install git python3-devel libffi-devel libxslt-devel libxml2-devel gcc openssl-devel redhat-rpm-config python3-pip
Now that we have all the necessary packages installed, we can move on to installing ArchiveBox. Execute the following command to clone the project repository from GitHub.
git clone https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox.git
Once the cloning process is complete, navigate to the newly created ArchiveBox directory using the following command.
cd ArchiveBox
Now, install ArchiveBox by running the following command:
pip3 install .
Now that we have installed ArchiveBox, we need to initialize its database. Use the following command to create a new database for ArchiveBox.
archivebox init --setup
Finally, we're ready to run ArchiveBox. This command will start the web server, and your archive will become available at http://127.0.0.1:8000/.
archivebox server
If you want ArchiveBox to run automatically when the server starts up, you can create an init script or systemd unit file.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed ArchiveBox on your Fedora Server. You can now start archiving web pages and other sources using the ArchiveBox interface.
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!
