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.

    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.

      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.
