Linkding - local archiving missing?

[girish]

@necrevistonnezr yes, that one is being worked on separately.

[nebulon]

Should be fixed with latest package now.

[necrevistonnezr]

Thanks…!

[necrevistonnezr]

I don’t believe this is working, yet.
I don’t see anything in settings to enable it (though I haven’t found any meaningful documentation on their GitHub page regarding this feature…). Neither do I see html files being created in the assets folder (in case this should work automatically)

[girish]

@necrevistonnezr maybe this is updated related, let me check. In a fresh instance, you get a HTML Snapshot option.

Then, you can view the local archives:

You probably know this but the 'Internet Archive' feature is about sending the URL to archive.org, I think and not a local archive.

[girish]

@necrevistonnezr ah ok, so you have to put export LD_ENABLE_SNAPSHOTS=True in /app/data/env.sh and restart the app. Was missing in the upgrade changelog.

[necrevistonnezr]

Thanks, working now!

Ok, since the last update (17 June 2024)....

... the HTML snapshot feature does not work anymore:

Also the "Image Preview" feature does not do anything.

The logs show this when I (unsuccessfully) trigger a manual snapshot for a bookmark:

Is it possible that the build was not switched to 'latest-plus' that includes chromium - as described here: https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding#using-docker ?

[girish]

@necrevistonnezr thanks for reporting, added to our internal list to investigate

[girish]

This should be fixed now

[necrevistonnezr]

Yes, looks good!

[thoresson]

I just installed Linkding for the first time, and I'm running into the same problems: No local HTML archives are created and no preview images are generated.

[necrevistonnezr]

Not directly connected, but those HTML/PDF „snapshot“ features in Linkding (or Linkwarden) have become more or less useless due to cookie banners and/or paywalls.
On most archived pages, I only see a cookie banner as many websites don’t even show the full content before your cookie decision.
And I can’t create a snapshot of newspaper articles even if I have a subscription as the archiving does not happen in your current (logged in) browser window but separately.

[Neiluj]

Which method are you using? Server based or SinglePage extension?

[necrevistonnezr]

Thanks for the link! The Singlefile extension method seems to work as it’s actually saving the current page in the browser
