ArchiveBox on Cloudron - Success!

[LoudLemur]

Nebulon, you absolute beauty, this works! Thank you team Cloudron for making internet archiving something you can easily do by self-hosting ArchiveBox.

The hard part is now to figure out which of all the options to select. There are some quite interesting options available.

I tried a quick test archive of a small site using favicon and screenshot methods. I also a depth of 1 so it would also archive pages to which the main URL linked.

The process began and pulled in some of the correct urls, but when I try to follow one, expecting to see a snapshot of the archived site, I have this error:

Cloudron documentation is excellent and anticipates errors like this. I ran the update all snapshots command outlined here:
https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/archivebox/

and it showed lots of yellow extractor failed messages. I shall try again later with a different, small website and set depth to 0 to see if it makes a difference.

@LoudLemur the main packaging work was done by @vladimir-d who has become an invaluable team member by now for pushing new app packages forward. I merely amended package meta-data.

Currently, the LDAP login is a bit annoying because upstream does not set the roles properly of newly created LDAP users. @vladimir-d is working on getting this fixed upstream.

Thanks all for your packaging efforts! Let me know how I can help (via ArchiveBox Github issues , as I may not remember to check back here).

I've improved our LDAP documentation: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Configuration#ldap
Note we also have a new ADMIN_USERNAME + ADMIN_PASSWORD env var option to streamline setup: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Configuration#admin_username--admin_password

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of experience with LDAP myself, so I may ask for help doing QA if you submit any ArchiveBox PRs to modify the LDAP behavior that you're having problems with.

@pirate thanks for dropping by! Yes, you can expect some PRs from our side to make the LDAP parts smoother.

Heya, been playing with archivebox and can't seem to figure out how to generate a functional site.

Here's the example on the demo server: https://archivebox.demo.cloudron.io/archive/1706242844.530401/index.html (deleted)
Was an archive of https://textconverter.com/split-text-into-paragraphs

the .js for the input textbox and split functions doesn't work in the archived site ;-/

How would one get that working?
