## Quickstart
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Get your bookmarks:**
|
||||
|
||||
Follow the links here to find instructions for each exporting bookmarks from each service.

||||
|
||||

**2. Create your archive:**
|

|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./archive.py bookmark_export.html
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/pirate/bookmark-archiver
|
||||
cd bookmark-archiver/
|
||||
sudo setup.sh
|
||||
./archive.py ~/Downloads/bookmark_export.html # replace this path with the path to your bookmarks export file
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`archive.py` is a script that takes a [Pocket-format](https://getpocket.com/export), [Pinboard-format](https://pinboard.in/export/), or [Netscape-format](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa753582(v=vs.85).aspx) bookmark export file, and turns it into a browsable archive that you can store locally or host online.
|
||||
You can open `service/index.html` to view your archive. (favicons will appear next to each title once it has finished downloading)
|
||||
|
||||
## Manual Setup
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't like `sudo` running random setup scripts off the internet (which you shouldn't), you can follow these manual setup instructions:
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Install dependencies:** `chromium >= 59`,` wget >= 1.16`, `python3 >= 3.5` (google-chrome >= v59 also works well, no need to install chromium if you already have Google Chrome installed)

1. Get your HTML export file from [Pocket](https://getpocket.com/export), [Pinboard](https://pinboard.in/export/), [Instapaper](https://www.instapaper.com/user/export), [Shaarli](http://sebsauvage.net/wiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=php:php_shaarli:shaarli_cap16_dragbutton.png), [Unmark.it](http://help.unmark.it/import-export), [Chrome Bookmarks](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/96816?hl=en), [Firefox Bookmarks](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/export-firefox-bookmarks-to-backup-or-transfer), [Safari Bookmarks](http://i.imgur.com/AtcvUZA.png), [Opera Bookmarks](http://help.opera.com/Windows/12.10/en/importexport.html), [Internet Explorer Bookmarks](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/211089/how-to-import-and-export-the-internet-explorer-favorites-folder-to-a-32-bit-version-of-windows)

You may optionally specify a third argument to `archive.py export.html [pocket|pinboard|bookmarks]` to enforce the use of a specific link parser.

## Details

The archiver produces a folder like `pocket/` containing an `index.html`, and archived copies of all the sites,

To switch from Google Chrome to chromium, change the `CHROME_BINARY` variable at the top of `archive.py`.

It's possible to pull links via the pocket API or public pocket RSS feeds instead of downloading an html export.

Once I write a script to do that, we can stick this in `cron` and have it auto-update on it's own.

For now you just have to download `ril_export.html` and run `archive.py` each time it updates. The script
