The main index is a self-contained `data/index.sqlite3` file, and each snapshot is stored as a folder `data/archive/<timestamp>/`, with an easy-to-read `index.html` and `index.json` within. For each page, ArchiveBox auto-extracts many types of assets/media and saves them in standard formats, with out-of-the-box support for: 3 types of HTML snapshots (wget, Chrome headless, singlefile), a PDF snapshot, a screenshot, a WARC archive, git repositories, images, audio, video, subtitles, article text, and more. The snapshots are browseable and managable offline through the filesystem, the built-in webserver, or the Python API.

**Get it via your method of choice:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:archivebox/archivebox
|
||||
apt update
|
||||
apt install archivebox
|
||||
```
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
brew install archivebox/archivebox/archivebox
|
||||
```
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker pull archivebox/archivebox
|
||||
```
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip3 install archivebox # you must install some system dependencies manually when using pip
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quickstart
|
||||
|
||||
**First, get ArchiveBox using your system package manager, Docker, or pip:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# To use with Docker (recommended)
|
||||
docker pull archivebox/archivebox
|
||||
|
||||
# for Ubuntu/Debian
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository -u ppa:archivebox/archivebox
|
||||
apt install archivebox
|
||||
|
||||
# for macOS
|
||||
brew install archivebox/archivebox/archivebox
|
||||
|
||||
# for Python version only, without wget/git/chrome/etc. included
|
||||
pip3 install archivebox
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Then create a collection and add some URLs to archive:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Create a folder somewhere to hold your ArchiveBox data
|
||||
mkdir ~/archivebox && cd ~/archivebox
|
||||
docker run -v $PWD:/data -it archivebox/archivebox init
|
||||
archivebox init
|
||||
archivebox version
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Archive some URLs to get started
|
||||
docker run -v $PWD:/data -t archivebox/archivebox add https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox
|
||||
docker run -v $PWD:/data -t archivebox/archivebox add --depth=1 https://example.com
|
||||
archivebox add https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox
|
||||
archivebox/archivebox add --depth=1 https://example.com
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Then view the snapshots of the URLs you added via the self-hosted web UI
|
||||
docker run -v $PWD:/data -it archivebox/archivebox manage createsuperuser # create an admin acct
|
||||
docker run -v $PWD:/data -p 8000:8000 archivebox/archivebox # start the web server
|
||||
open http://127.0.0.1:8000/ # open the interactive admin panel
|
||||
ls archive/*/index.html # or just browse snapshots on disk
|
||||
archivebox manage createsuperuser # create an admin acct
|
||||
archivebox server 0.0.0.0:8000 # start the web server
|
||||
open http://127.0.0.1:8000/ # open the interactive admin panel
|
||||
ls ~/archivebox/archive/*/index.html # or just browse snapshots on disk
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you're using docker, run the `archivebox [subcommand] [...args]` commands above like this:
|
||||
`docker run -v $PWD:/data -it archivebox/archivebox [subcommand] [...args]`
|
||||
or with docker compose:
|
||||
`docker-compose run archivebox [subcommand] [...args]`

# Overview
|
||||
|
||||
ArchiveBox is a command line tool, self-hostable web-archiving server, and Python library all-in-one. It's available as a Python3 package or a Docker image, both methods provide the same CLI, Web UI, and on-disk data format.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
It works on Docker, macOS, and Linux/BSD. Windows is not officially supported, but users have reported getting it working using the WSL2 + Docker.
|
||||
|
||||
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/remove/search/import/export/manage/config/etc using the CLI `archivebox help`, or you can run the Web UI (recommended):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
archivebox manage createsuperuser
|
||||
archivebox server 0.0.0.0:8000
|
||||
open http://127.0.0.1:8000
|

```

The CLI is considered "stable", the ArchiveBox Python API and REST APIs are in "beta", and the [desktop app](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/desktop) is in "alpha" stage.
