For tinkerers and developers
ArchiveBox
Save complete copies of web pages before they disappear.
About
Save complete copies of web pages before they disappear. Every link you add is stored as HTML, PDF, screenshot and text, browsable on your own device.
Notes
Self-hosted web archive: save complete, browsable snapshots of any URL (HTML, screenshots, PDFs, media, WARC) so pages survive even when the originals go offline. A personal Wayback Machine.
Single container with an embedded SQLite index — no external database. On first install the admin account you choose here is created automatically; sign in to add URLs and manage your archive. All snapshots and the index live under the mounted data directory.
Built from the official archivebox/archivebox image. Archiving runs a headless Chromium, so give it a little RAM and disk.

Run it on your own hardware.
Obacht is in a closed pilot phase. Put yourself on the list. We let people in a few at a time, so it can take a while.
