ArchiveBox is a powerful self-hosted internet archiving solution written in Python 3. You feed it URLs of pages you want to archive, and it saves them to disk in a variety of formats depending on the configuration and the content it detects.
Running `archivebox init` in a folder creates a collection with a self-contained `index.sqlite3` index, `ArchiveBox.conf` config file, and folders for each snapshot under `./archive/<timestamp>/`, with human-readable `index.html` and `index.json` files within.

If you only want to archive a single site, you can run `archivebox oneshot` to avoid having to create a whole collection.
For each URL added with `archivebox add`, ArchiveBox saves several types of HTML snapshot (wget, Chrome headless, singlefile), a PDF, a screenshot, a WARC archive, any git repositories, images, audio, video, subtitles, article text, [and more...](#output-formats)
You can use `archivebox schedule` to ingest URLs regularly from your browser boorkmarks/history, a service like Pocket/Pinboard, RSS feeds, or [and more...](#input-formats)
Archived content is browseable and managable locally with the CLI commands like `archivebox status` or `archivebox list ...`, via the built-in web UI `archivebox server`, directly through the filesystem `./archive/<timestamp>` folders, or via the [Python API](https://docs.archivebox.io/en/latest/modules.html) (alpha) or [REST API](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/496) (alpha).

It can be installed on Docker, macOS, and Linux/BSD, and Windows. No matter which install method you choose, they all provide the same CLI, Web UI, and on-disk data format.
You can also self-host your `archivebox server` on a public domain to provide archive.org-style public access to your snapshots.
At the end of the day, the goal is to sleep soundly knowing that the part of the internet you care about will be automatically preserved in multiple, durable long-term formats that will be accessible for decades (or longer).

# Overview
ArchiveBox is a command line tool, self-hostable web-archiving server, and Python library all-in-one. It can be installed on Docker, macOS, and Linux/BSD, and Windows. You can download and install it as a Debian/Ubuntu package, Homebrew package, Python3 package, or a Docker image. No matter which install method you choose, they all provide the same CLI, Web UI, and on-disk data format.
To use ArchiveBox you start by creating a folder for your data to live in (it can be anywhere on your system), and running `archivebox init` inside of it. That will create a sqlite3 index and an `ArchiveBox.conf` file. After that, you can continue to add/export/manage/etc using the CLI `archivebox help`, or you can run the Web UI (recommended). If you only want to archive a single site, you can run `archivebox oneshot` to avoid having to create a whole collection.
The [CLI](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Usage#CLI-Usage) is considered "stable", the ArchiveBox [Python API](https://docs.archivebox.io/en/latest/modules.html) and [REST API](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/496) are "alpha", and the [desktop app](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/desktop) is "alpha".
At the end of the day, the goal is to sleep soundly knowing that the part of the internet you care about will be automatically preserved in multiple, durable long-term formats that will be accessible for decades (or longer). You can also self-host your archivebox server on a public domain to provide archive.org-style public access to your site snapshots.
