Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Is there an open source package that the Internet Archive runs? What is it? I assume sites like archive.is run the same. I'd like to know if I can also run it for self-hosted archiving.

afaik, archive.org isnt open source. id recommend something like archivebox.io

Archive box is a piece of software and the Internet archive is a organization that is focused on predicting the content on the internet.

The Internet Archive has PBs worth of data. I doubt any home user could manage that.

They're beating the algorithm

i dont think op is looking to mirror archive.org, my take was that they wanted someyhing like archive.org but selfhosted and for personal / small-scale use

Exactly. I'm already running a local wiki, but I don't want stuff I link to in my wiki to result in 404 in a few years. Or worse, to some AI-ridden ad-infested dumpster fire.

You can use something as simple as a browser extension like SingleFile that can automatically download complete, contained copies of anything bookmarked or only certain URLs.

Oh yes, this looks like a winner. Thanks!

It seems like it's written in Python too, which means I can maintain it if need be.

Oh boy I wish I had set this up many years ago. I wouldn't have to resort to scouring [email protected] for the top quality memes of the past when I need them...

On a far side of the moon note, I wonder if ActivityPub could be used to federate multiple archiveboxes to create a more resilient Internet Archive alternative. 🤔 Then integrate that with Lemmy to autoarchive links from posts. Aaand lemmy.world ran out of disk space. 🤣

a network between networks to make them more resilient i think you've just invented the arpanet?.
