Keep the data folder created by the Docker Compose quickstart in a safe place. Deleting that folder wipes your saved pages and settings. ### What must I do once after the ArchiveBox server starts? Open the admin page in your browser and finish the one-time setup. If you skip that step, the app is not ready to manage your archive normally. ### Why can’t other devices reach the ArchiveBox web UI? The Docker setup listens on port 5797 at 127.0.0.1, so only your own computer can open the web UI. You need to change the network setting to reach it from other devices. ### Can I use ArchiveBox without the Docker web interface? Yes, you can continue accessing the same collection with the CLI, Python API, and SQLite3 APIs. These usage methods provide matching features such as adding tags, scheduling regular crawls, and viewing logs. ## Alternatives - Archive.today: Archive.today allows you to "take a photo" of a webpage that will always be available even if the original page changes or is del… - Curio: Save web links and email newsletters, add notes and highlights, tag and favorite articles, and read distraction-free in a Markdown viewer o… - HTTrack: HTTrack is a free, open-source offline browser that recursively mirrors entire websites to a local directory, preserving the original link… - InfoFlow: A local-first tool for article and webpage saving with offline full-text search, organizing capabilities, and privacy-focused features. - Internet Archive: Internet Archive is a command-line and Python interface to archive.org. - LinkAce: LinkAce is a self-hosted link archive that lets you collect, organize, tag, share, and search saved web links, articles, and bookmarks for… - Obsidian Web Clipper: Save web content to your vault with offline access. - Readeck: Readeck is a self-hosted read-later app and bookmark manager that saves the readable content of web pages you like so you can keep and revi… - SingleFile: Browser extension enabling one-click saving of full web pages with images, styles, and fonts as a single HTML file for offline access, anno… - Wayback Machine: With the power of the Wayback Machine, you can go back in time to see how a website has changed and evolved through the history of the Web. - Wget: Wget is a command-line utility for non-interactive downloading of files, directories, and entire websites over HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP. - wallabag: Wallabag is a self-hosted read-it-later application for saving web pages and articles for offline reading. --- Source: Our Local Host (https://ourlocalhost.com/app/92/archivebox), the self-hosted and open-source app directory.
