Example Setup

This example uses bind mounts. You can use named volumes if you want

  1. Decide where your data directory is going to be. This example will use /home/user/ArchiveBox/data

  2. Run the Initial Setup docker run -v /home/user/ArchiveBox/data:/data -it archivebox/archivebox init --setup

  3. That's it. Really... You can now use the CLI to archive webpages docker run -v /home/user/ArchiveBox/data:/data -it archivebox/archivebox add 'https://example.com' docker run -v /home/user/ArchiveBox/data:/data -it archivebox/archivebox add < your_urls.txt

  4. (Optional) run the web UI with Docker docker run -v /home/user/ArchiveBox/data:/data -it -p 8000:8000 archivebox/archivebox or with Compose version: '3' services: archivebox: image: archivebox/archivebox container_name: archivebox command: server --quick-init 0.0.0.0:8000 ports: - 8000:8000 environment: - ALLOWED_HOSTS=* - MEDIA_MAX_SIZE=750m volumes: - /home/user/ArchiveBox/data:/data restart: unless-stopped
