**ArchiveBox is a powerful, self-hosted internet archiving solution to collect, save, and view sites you want to preserve offline.**
2020-10-10 20:08:52 +00:00
2021-04-23 23:29:13 +00:00
You can set it up as a [command-line tool ](#quickstart ), [web app ](#quickstart ), and [desktop app ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/electron-archivebox ) (alpha), on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
2021-04-08 14:47:06 +00:00
2021-04-08 13:12:24 +00:00
**You can feed it URLs one at a time, or schedule regular imports** from browser bookmarks or history, feeds like RSS, bookmark services like Pocket/Pinboard, and more. See < a href = "#input-formats" > input formats< / a > for a full list.
2021-01-21 02:34:23 +00:00
2021-04-08 13:12:24 +00:00
**It saves snapshots of the URLs you feed it in several formats:** HTML, PDF, PNG screenshots, WARC, and more out-of-the-box, with a wide variety of content extracted and preserved automatically (article text, audio/video, git repos, etc.). See < a href = "#output-formats" > output formats< / a > for a full list.
2021-04-08 11:21:04 +00:00
2021-04-08 13:28:41 +00:00
The goal is to sleep soundly knowing the part of the internet you care about will be automatically preserved in durable, easily accessable formats for decades after it goes down.

## Key Features
- [**Free & open source** ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/blob/master/LICENSE ), doesn't require signing up for anything, stores all data locally
- [**Powerful, intuitive command line interface** ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Usage#CLI-Usage ) with [modular optional dependencies ](#dependencies )
- [**Comprehensive documentation** ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki ), [active development ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Roadmap ), and [rich community ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Web-Archiving-Community )
- [**Extracts a wide variety of content out-of-the-box** ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/51 ): [media (youtube-dl), articles (readability), code (git), etc. ](#output-formats )
- [**Supports scheduled/realtime importing** ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Scheduled-Archiving ) from [many types of sources ](#input-formats )
- [**Uses standard, durable, long-term formats** ](#saves-lots-of-useful-stuff-for-each-imported-link ) like HTML, JSON, PDF, PNG, and WARC
- [**Usable as a oneshot CLI** ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Usage#CLI-Usage ), [**self-hosted web UI** ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Usage#UI-Usage ), [Python API ](https://docs.archivebox.io/en/latest/modules.html ) (BETA), [REST API ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/496 ) (ALPHA), or [desktop app ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/electron-archivebox ) (ALPHA)
- [**Saves all pages to archive.org as well** ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Configuration#submit_archive_dot_org ) by default for redundancy (can be [disabled ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Security-Overview#stealth-mode ) for local-only mode)
- Planned: support for archiving [content requiring a login/paywall/cookies ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Configuration#chrome_user_data_dir ) (working, but ill-advised until some pending fixes are released)
2021-04-08 13:56:43 +00:00
- Planned: support for running [JS during archiving ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/51 ) to adblock, [autoscroll ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/80 ), [modal-hide ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/175 ), [thread-expand ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/345 )...

2021-04-24 00:20:52 +00:00
## Configuration
ArchiveBox can be configured via environment variables, by using the `archivebox config` CLI, or by editing the `ArchiveBox.conf` config file directly.
```bash
archivebox config # view the entire config
archivebox config --get CHROME_BINARY # view a specific value
2021-04-24 02:48:30 +00:00
archivebox config --set CHROME_BINARY=chromium # persist a config using CLI
# OR
echo CHROME_BINARY=chromium >> ArchiveBox.conf # persist a config using file
# OR
env CHROME_BINARY=chromium archivebox ... # run with a one-off config
2021-04-24 00:20:52 +00:00
```
2021-04-24 02:48:30 +00:00
< sup > These methods also work the same way when run inside Docker, see the < a href = "https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Docker#configuration" > Docker Configuration< / a > wiki page for details.< / sup >
2021-04-24 00:34:31 +00:00
**The config loading logic with all the options defined is here: [`archivebox/config.py` ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/blob/master/archivebox/config.py ).**
2021-04-24 00:20:52 +00:00
Most options are also documented on the ** [Configuration Wiki page ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Configuration )**.
2021-04-24 00:44:12 +00:00
#### Most Common Options to Tweak
2021-04-24 00:20:52 +00:00
```bash
2021-04-24 00:34:31 +00:00
# e.g. archivebox config --set TIMEOUT=120
2021-04-24 00:20:52 +00:00
2021-04-24 00:44:12 +00:00
TIMEOUT=120 # default: 60 add more seconds on slower networks
CHECK_SSL_VALIDITY=True # default: False True = allow saving URLs w/ bad SSL
SAVE_ARCHIVE_DOT_ORG=False # default: True False = disable Archive.org saving
MAX_MEDIA_SIZE=1500m # default: 750m raise/lower youtubedl output size
2021-04-24 00:20:52 +00:00
2021-04-24 00:44:12 +00:00
PUBLIC_INDEX=True # default: True whether anon users can view index
PUBLIC_SNAPSHOTS=True # default: True whether anon users can view pages
PUBLIC_ADD_VIEW=False # default: False whether anon users can add new URLs

## Dependencies
2021-04-10 21:27:09 +00:00
For better security, easier updating, and to avoid polluting your host system with extra dependencies, **it is strongly recommended to use the official [Docker image](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Docker)** with everything preinstalled for the best experience.
2021-04-08 12:46:24 +00:00
To achieve high fidelity archives in as many situations as possible, ArchiveBox depends on a variety of 3rd-party tools and libraries that specialize in extracting different types of content. These optional dependencies used for archiving sites include:
- `chromium` / `chrome` (for screenshots, PDF, DOM HTML, and headless JS scripts)
- `node` & `npm` (for readability, mercury, and singlefile)
- `wget` (for plain HTML, static files, and WARC saving)
2021-04-10 21:27:09 +00:00
- `curl` (for fetching headers, favicon, and posting to Archive.org)
2021-04-08 12:46:24 +00:00
- `youtube-dl` (for audio, video, and subtitles)
- `git` (for cloning git repos)
- and more as we grow...
You don't need to install every dependency to use ArchiveBox. ArchiveBox will automatically disable extractors that rely on dependencies that aren't installed, based on what is configured and available in your `$PATH` .
2021-04-24 00:49:06 +00:00
If not using Docker, make sure to keep the dependencies up-to-date yourself and check that ArchiveBox isn't reporting any incompatibility with the versions you install.
2021-04-08 12:46:24 +00:00
```bash
# install python3 and archivebox with your system package manager
# apt/brew/pip/etc install ... (see Quickstart instructions above)
archivebox setup # auto install all the extractors and extras
2021-04-10 21:27:09 +00:00
archivebox --version # see info and check validity of installed dependencies
2021-04-08 12:46:24 +00:00
```
2021-04-08 12:59:12 +00:00
Installing directly on **Windows without Docker or WSL/WSL2/Cygwin is not officially supported** , but some advanced users have reported getting it working.
2021-04-08 12:46:24 +00:00
2021-04-24 02:26:42 +00:00
< br / >
## Archive Layout
All of ArchiveBox's state (including the index, snapshot data, and config file) is stored in a single folder called the "ArchiveBox data folder". All `archivebox` CLI commands must be run from inside this folder, and you first create it by running `archivebox init` .
The on-disk layout is optimized to be easy to browse by hand and durable long-term. The main index is a standard `index.sqlite3` database in the root of the data folder (it can also be exported as static JSON/HTML), and the archive snapshots are organized by date-added timestamp in the `./archive/` subfolder.
```bash
./
index.sqlite3
ArchiveBox.conf
archive/
...
1617687755/
index.html
index.json
screenshot.png
media/some_video.mp4
warc/1617687755.warc.gz
git/somerepo.git
...
```
Each snapshot subfolder `./archive/<timestamp>/` includes a static `index.json` and `index.html` describing its contents, and the snapshot extrator outputs are plain files within the folder.
< br / >
## Static Archive Exporting
You can export the main index to browse it statically without needing to run a server.
*Note about large exports: These exports are not paginated, exporting many URLs or the entire archive at once may be slow. Use the filtering CLI flags on the `archivebox list` command to export specific Snapshots or ranges.*
```bash
# archivebox list --help
archivebox list --html --with-headers > index.html # export to static html table
archivebox list --json --with-headers > index.json # export to json blob
archivebox list --csv=timestamp,url,title > index.csv # export to csv spreadsheet
# (if using docker-compose, add the -T flag when piping)
# docker-compose run -T archivebox list --html --filter-type=search snozzberries > index.json
```
The paths in the static exports are relative, make sure to keep them next to your `./archive` folder when backing them up or viewing them.

## Caveats
2021-04-24 00:58:06 +00:00
### Archiving Private Content
2021-04-08 10:39:23 +00:00
2021-04-24 02:37:33 +00:00
< a id = "archiving-private-urls" / >
2021-04-24 00:58:06 +00:00
If you're importing pages with private content or URLs containing secret tokens you don't want public (e.g Google Docs, paywalled content, unlisted videos, etc.), **you may want to disable some of the extractor methods to avoid leaking that content to 3rd party APIs or the public** .
2021-01-20 03:02:35 +00:00
2020-10-25 02:23:08 +00:00
```bash
2021-04-24 00:58:06 +00:00
# don't save private content to ArchiveBox, e.g.:
archivebox add 'https://docs.google.com/document/d/12345somePrivateDocument'
archivebox add 'https://vimeo.com/somePrivateVideo'
2020-10-25 02:23:08 +00:00
2021-04-24 00:58:06 +00:00
# without first disabling saving to Archive.org:
2021-04-08 12:27:36 +00:00
archivebox config --set SAVE_ARCHIVE_DOT_ORG=False # disable saving all URLs in Archive.org
2021-04-24 00:58:06 +00:00
# if extra paranoid or anti-Google:
archivebox config --set SAVE_FAVICON=False # disable favicon fetching (it calls a Google API passing the URL's domain part only)
2021-04-08 12:27:36 +00:00
archivebox config --set CHROME_BINARY=chromium # ensure it's using Chromium instead of Chrome
2020-10-25 02:23:08 +00:00
```
2020-10-10 20:00:53 +00:00
2021-04-08 14:37:57 +00:00
### Security Risks of Viewing Archived JS
2021-04-08 10:39:23 +00:00
2021-04-08 12:59:12 +00:00
Be aware that malicious archived JS can access the contents of other pages in your archive when viewed. Because the Web UI serves all viewed snapshots from a single domain, they share a request context and **typical CSRF/CORS/XSS/CSP protections do not work to prevent cross-site request attacks** . See the [Security Overview ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Security-Overview#stealth-mode ) page for more details.
2021-01-20 03:02:35 +00:00
2020-10-25 02:23:08 +00:00
```bash
# visiting an archived page with malicious JS:
https://127.0.0.1:8000/archive/1602401954/example.com/index.html
2020-10-10 20:00:53 +00:00
2021-04-08 12:20:38 +00:00
# example.com/index.js can now make a request to read everything from:
2020-10-25 02:23:08 +00:00
https://127.0.0.1:8000/index.html
https://127.0.0.1:8000/archive/*
# then example.com/index.js can send it off to some evil server
```
2021-04-08 14:37:57 +00:00
### Saving Multiple Snapshots of a Single URL
2021-04-08 10:39:23 +00:00
2021-04-24 02:33:45 +00:00
First-class support for saving multiple snapshots of each site over time will be [added eventually ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/179 ) (along with the ability to view diffs of the changes between runs). For now **ArchiveBox is designed to only archive each unique URL with each extractor type once** . The workaround to take multiple snapshots of the same URL is to make them slightly different by adding a hash:
2021-01-20 03:02:35 +00:00
2020-10-25 02:23:08 +00:00
```bash
archivebox add 'https://example.com#2020-10-24'
...
archivebox add 'https://example.com#2020-10-25'
```
2021-01-20 20:35:28 +00:00
2021-04-24 02:37:33 +00:00
The < img src = "https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/511499/115942091-73c02300-a476-11eb-958e-5c1fc04da488.png" alt = "Re-Snapshot Button" height = "24px" / > button in the Admin UI is a shortcut for this hash-date workaround.
2021-04-24 00:58:06 +00:00
2021-04-08 14:37:57 +00:00
### Storage Requirements
2021-04-08 10:39:23 +00:00
2021-04-24 02:33:45 +00:00
Because ArchiveBox is designed to ingest a firehose of browser history and bookmark feeds to a local disk, it can be much more disk-space intensive than a centralized service like the Internet Archive or Archive.today. **ArchiveBox can use anywhere from ~1gb per 1000 articles, to ~50gb per 1000 articles** , mostly dependent on whether you're saving audio & video using `SAVE_MEDIA=True` and whether you lower `MEDIA_MAX_SIZE=750mb` .
2021-04-08 10:39:23 +00:00
2021-04-24 02:33:45 +00:00
Disk usage can be reduced by using a compressed/deduplicated filesystem like ZFS/BTRFS, or by turning off extractors methods you don't need. **Don't store large collections on older filesystems like EXT3/FAT** as they may not be able to handle more than 50k directory entries in the `archive/` folder. **Try to keep the `index.sqlite3` file on local drive (not a network mount)** or SSD for maximum performance, however the `archive/` folder can be on a network mount or spinning HDD.

# Background & Motivation
2019-03-12 22:09:20 +00:00
2021-04-08 10:39:23 +00:00
The aim of ArchiveBox is to enable more of the internet to be archived by empowering people to self-host their own archives. The intent is for all the web content you care about to be viewable with common software in 50 - 100 years without needing to run ArchiveBox or other specialized software to replay it.
2020-07-23 16:32:40 +00:00
Vast treasure troves of knowledge are lost every day on the internet to link rot. As a society, we have an imperative to preserve some important parts of that treasure, just like we preserve our books, paintings, and music in physical libraries long after the originals go out of print or fade into obscurity.
2019-03-12 22:42:19 +00:00
2021-04-08 10:39:23 +00:00
Whether it's to resist censorship by saving articles before they get taken down or edited, or just to save a collection of early 2010's flash games you love to play, having the tools to archive internet content enables to you save the stuff you care most about before it disappears.

The balance between the permanence and ephemeral nature of content on the internet is part of what makes it beautiful. I don't think everything should be preserved in an automated fashion--making all content permanent and never removable, but I do think people should be able to decide for themselves and effectively archive specific content that they care about.

Because modern websites are complicated and often rely on dynamic content,
2021-04-08 12:59:12 +00:00
ArchiveBox archives the sites in **several different formats** beyond what public archiving services like Archive.org/Archive.is save. Using multiple methods and the market-dominant browser to execute JS ensures we can save even the most complex, finicky websites in at least a few high-quality, long-term data formats.

A variety of open and closed-source archiving projects exist, but few provide a nice UI and CLI to manage a large, high-fidelity archive collection over time.

ArchiveBox tries to be a robust, set-and-forget archiving solution suitable for archiving RSS feeds, bookmarks, or your entire browsing history (beware, it may be too big to store), ~~including private/authenticated content that you wouldn't otherwise share with a centralized service~~ (this is not recommended due to JS replay security concerns).

### Comparison With Centralized Public Archives
2019-03-13 04:45:01 +00:00
2021-04-08 10:39:23 +00:00
Not all content is suitable to be archived in a centralized collection, wehther because it's private, copyrighted, too large, or too complex. ArchiveBox hopes to fill that gap.
2019-03-13 04:45:01 +00:00
2021-04-08 10:39:23 +00:00
By having each user store their own content locally, we can save much larger portions of everyone's browsing history than a shared centralized service would be able to handle. The eventual goal is to work towards federated archiving where users can share portions of their collections with each other.
2021-04-08 10:47:45 +00:00
### Comparison With Other Self-Hosted Archiving Options
2021-04-08 10:39:23 +00:00
ArchiveBox differentiates itself from [similar self-hosted projects ](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Web-Archiving-Community#Web-Archiving-Projects ) by providing both a comprehensive CLI interface for managing your archive, a Web UI that can be used either indepenently or together with the CLI, and a simple on-disk data format that can be used without either.
ArchiveBox is neither the highest fidelity, nor the simplest tool available for self-hosted archiving, rather it's a jack-of-all-trades that tries to do most things well by default. It can be as simple or advanced as you want, and is designed to do everything out-of-the-box but be tuned to suit your needs.

2021-04-08 10:01:04 +00:00
2021-01-20 03:02:35 +00:00
#### 1. Clone the main code repo (making sure to pull the submodules as well)
```bash
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox
cd ArchiveBox
git checkout dev # or the branch you want to test
2020-12-20 01:13:58 +00:00
git submodule update --init --recursive
2020-12-11 23:50:16 +00:00
git pull --recurse-submodules
2021-01-20 03:02:35 +00:00
```
#### 2. Option A: Install the Python, JS, and system dependencies directly on your machine
2020-10-10 20:00:53 +00:00
2021-01-20 03:02:35 +00:00
```bash
2020-10-10 20:00:53 +00:00
# Install ArchiveBox + python dependencies
2021-01-20 03:02:35 +00:00
python3 -m venv .venv & & source .venv/bin/activate & & pip install -e '.[dev]'
# or: pipenv install --dev && pipenv shell
2020-10-10 20:00:53 +00:00
# Install node dependencies
npm install
2021-04-08 10:47:45 +00:00
# or
archivebox setup
2020-10-10 20:00:53 +00:00
2021-01-20 03:02:35 +00:00
# Check to see if anything is missing
archivebox --version
# install any missing dependencies manually, or use the helper script:
2020-10-10 20:00:53 +00:00
./bin/setup.sh
2021-01-20 03:02:35 +00:00
```
#### 2. Option B: Build the docker container and use that for development instead
2020-10-31 20:33:09 +00:00
2021-01-20 03:02:35 +00:00
```bash
2020-10-31 20:33:09 +00:00
# Optional: develop via docker by mounting the code dir into the container
# if you edit e.g. ./archivebox/core/models.py on the docker host, runserver
# inside the container will reload and pick up your changes
docker build . -t archivebox
2021-04-06 03:17:07 +00:00
docker run -it archivebox init --setup
docker run -it -p 8000:8000 \
