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. 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)
|
||||
|
||||
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.

**First steps:**

|
||||
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)
|
||||
1. Get ArchiveBox (see Quickstart below)
|
||||
2. `archivebox init` in a new empty folder to create a collection
|
||||
3. `archivebox add 'https://example.com'` to start adding URLs to snapshot in your collection
|
||||
4. `archivebox server` to self-host an admin Web UI with your repository of snapshots (archive.org-style)
|
||||
|
||||
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`, [desktop app](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/electron-archivebox) (alpha), 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.
|
||||
**Next steps:**
|
||||
|
||||
- use `archivebox oneshot` to archive a single URL without starting a whole collection
|
||||
- use `archivebox schedule` to ingest URLs regularly from your browser boorkmarks/history, a service like Pocket/Pinboard, RSS feeds, or [and more...](#input-formats)
|
||||
- use `archivebox status`, `archivebox list ...`, `archivebox version` to see more information about your setup
|
||||
- browse `./archive/<timestamp>/` and view archived content directly from the filesystem
|
||||
- or use the [Python API](https://docs.archivebox.io/en/latest/modules.html) (alpha), [REST API](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/496) (alpha), or [desktop app](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/electron-archivebox) (alpha)
|
||||
|
||||
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).

It works on Linux/BSD (Intel and ARM CPUs with `docker`/`apt`/`pip3`), macOS (with `docker`/`brew`/`pip3`), and Windows (beta with `docker`/`pip3`). There is also an [Electron desktop app](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/electron-archivebox) (alpha). No matter which install method you choose, they all roughly follow this 3-step process and all provide the same CLI, Web UI, and on-disk data format.

|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip3 install archivebox
|
||||
archivebox --version
|
||||
# install extras as-needed, or use one of full setup methods below to get everything out-of-the-box
