ArchiveBox

What It Does

ArchiveBox is a self-hosted web archiver: submit a URL and it saves the HTML, media, headers, and metadata to permanent storage. Deployed for the Pillowfort Archival Initiative.

Features

  • Anonymous public index, snapshots, and URL submission enabled
  • Extractors: wget, title/favicon, headers, media (yt-dlp where applicable)
  • Chrome-based extractors disabled (SAVE_SCREENSHOT/PDF/DOM/SINGLEFILE=False) to stay light on the X270
  • Admin UI at /admin (admin / ARCHIVE_ADMIN_PASS in .env)

Configuration

All snapshots persist in the folkzone_archive_data volume (/data), which contains the index database plus archived content: that's the directory to back up.

Public submission is intentionally open; if abuse becomes a problem set PUBLIC_ADD_VIEW=False and use the admin UI instead.
