ArchiveBox is an open-source web archiving tool that allows you to create a local copy of pages, PDFs, and other resources from the web. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install ArchiveBox on a NetBSD machine.
To complete this tutorial, you will need:
Firstly, you need to install the required packages for installing ArchiveBox. You can install them by running the following command:
pkgin update && pkgin install git py37-sqlite3 py37-lxml py37-pillow py37-requests py37-kafka py37-html2text py37-pypubsub py37-pkgconfig
Next, you need to clone the ArchiveBox repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox.git
Now you need to install the required Python packages by running the following command:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Now you need to configure ArchiveBox by copying the sample configuration file and modifying it as per your needs. You can copy the sample configuration file by running the following command:
cp example.config.json ArchiveBox.config.json
Then you can edit the configuration file using your favorite text editor. You need to configure the SAVE_PATH variable to define where you want to store the archived data.
Finally, you can start ArchiveBox by running the following command:
./archivebox/cli.py schedule
This will start the ArchiveBox scheduling process, which will continuously check for new URLs to archive.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed ArchiveBox on a NetBSD machine. Now you can use ArchiveBox to archive websites and other online resources.
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!
