In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Wayback on OpenSUSE Latest. Wayback is a web archiving utility used to capture and store websites for future reference. It is available on GitHub, so we will begin by cloning the repository and installing the necessary dependencies.
Before we begin, make sure that you have:
The first thing we need to do is clone the Wayback repository from GitHub. To do this, open a terminal and enter the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/wabarc/wayback.git
This will clone the repository to your local machine.
Next, we need to install the dependencies required by Wayback. This can be done using the following command:
$ sudo zypper install maven java-11-openjdk-devel
This will install the Maven build system and JDK 11. Maven is used to build the Wayback executable, while the JDK is required to compile and run the code.
After installing the dependencies, we can now build Wayback using Maven. Navigate to the root directory of the cloned repository and run the following command:
$ mvn clean install
This will compile the code, run unit tests, and create an executable JAR file.
Finally, we can start Wayback using the following command:
$ java -jar ./wayback-webapp/target/wayback-webapp-2.0.2-SNAPSHOT.war
This will start the Wayback server. You can now access the Wayback UI by visiting http://localhost:8080/wayback/.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and started Wayback on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now begin archiving websites and accessing them using the Wayback UI.
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!
