ArchiveBox is a self-hosted web archive tool that lets you easily save and archive web pages, websites, and social media feeds for later browsing. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install ArchiveBox on Void Linux.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
We first need to install some dependencies required by ArchiveBox:
sudo xbps-install -S python3-dev python3-pip gcc libxslt-dev libjpeg-turbo-dev zlib-dev libffi-dev openssl-dev cargo
Next, use the git command to clone the ArchiveBox repository:
git clone https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox.git
After cloning the repository, navigate to the ArchiveBox folder and run the following command:
sudo pip3 install .
This command will install ArchiveBox and other required Python packages.
Now, we need to create a directory where ArchiveBox will store all the archived data. For that, create a folder using the following command:
mkdir ~/archivebox
Next, configure ArchiveBox by creating a configuration file:
archivebox init --setup
This command will create a default configuration file in ~/.config/archivebox/config.yml.
We can now start ArchiveBox using the following command:
archivebox server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
This command will start the ArchiveBox server and bind to all available network interfaces. You can now access ArchiveBox by navigating to http://localhost:8000/ in your web browser.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install ArchiveBox on Void Linux. ArchiveBox is a powerful tool for archiving web pages and websites, and can be used for a wide range of applications. Try it out for yourself and start archiving your favorite web content!
