# Pocket Stream Archive
|
|
|
|
(Your own personal Way-Back Machine)
|
|
|
|
Save an archived copy of all websites you star using Pocket, indexed in an html file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Quickstart
|
|
|
|
**Dependencies:** Google Chrome headless, wget
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew install Caskroom/versions/google-chrome-canary
|
|
brew install wget
|
|
|
|
# OR on linux
|
|
|
|
wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
|
|
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list'
|
|
apt update; apt install google-chrome-beta
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Usage:**
|
|
|
|
1. Download your pocket export file `ril_export.html` from https://getpocket.com/export
|
|
2. Download this repo `git clone https://github.com/pirate/pocket-archive-stream`
|
|
3. `cd pocket-archive-stream/`
|
|
4. `./archive.py ~/Downloads/ril_export.html`
|
|
|
|
It produces a folder `pocket/` containing an `index.html`, and archived copies of all the sites,
|
|
organized by timestamp. For each sites it saves:
|
|
|
|
- wget of site, e.g. `en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Example.html` with .html appended if not present
|
|
- `sreenshot.png` 1440x900 screenshot of site using headless chrome
|
|
- `output.pdf` Printed PDF of site using headless chrome
|
|
|
|
## Publishing Your Archive
|
|
|
|
The pocket archive is suitable for serving on your personal server, you can upload the pocket
|
|
archive to `/var/www/pocket` and allow people to access your saved copies of sites.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just stick this in your nginx config to properly serve the wget-archived sites:
|
|
|
|
```nginx
|
|
location /pocket/ {
|
|
alias /var/www/pocket/;
|
|
try_files $uri $uri/ $uri.html =404;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Make sure you're not running any content as CGI or PHP, you only want to serve static files!
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Info
|
|
|
|
This is basically an open-source version of [Pocket Premium](https://getpocket.com/).
|
|
I got tired of sites I saved going offline or changing their URLS, so I started
|
|
archiving a copy of them locally now, similar to The Way-Back Machine provided
|
|
by [archive.org](https://archive.org).
|
|
|
|
Now I can rest soundly knowing important articles and resources I like wont dissapear off the internet.

## Security WARNING
|
|
|
|
Hosting other people's site content has security implications for your domain, make sure you understand
|
|
the dangers of hosting other people's CSS & JS files on your domain. It's best to put this on a domain
|
|
of its own to slightly mitigate CSRF attacks.
|
|
|
|
It might also be prudent to blacklist your archive in your `robots.txt` so that search engines dont index
|
|
the content on your domain.
