[`chromium-browser`]/`/usr/local/bin/google-chrome`/...
|
||||
Path or name of the Google Chrome / Chromium binary to use for all the headless browser archive methods.
|
||||
|
||||
### Archive Method Toggles
|
||||
Possible values: [`True`]/`False`
|
||||
Without setting this environment variable, ArchiveBox by default look for the following binaries in `$PATH` in this order:
|
||||
- `chromium-browser`
|
||||
- `chromium`
|
||||
- `google-chrome`
|
||||
- `google-chrome-stable`
|
||||
- `google-chrome-unstable`
|
||||
- `google-chrome-beta`
|
||||
- `google-chrome-canary`
|
||||
- `google-chrome-dev`
|
||||
|
||||
- fetch page with wget: `FETCH_WGET`
|
||||
- fetch images/css/js with wget: `FETCH_WGET_REQUISITES` (True is highly recommended)
|
||||
- print page as PDF: `FETCH_PDF`
|
||||
- fetch a screenshot of the page: `FETCH_SCREENSHOT`
|
||||
- fetch a DOM dump of the page: `FETCH_DOM`
|
||||
- fetch git repositories on the page: `FETCH_GIT`
|
||||
- fetch a WARC dump of the page: `FETCH_WARC`
|
||||
- fetch all audio and video on the page: `FETCH_MEDIA`
|
||||
- fetch a DOM dump of the page: `FETCH_DOM`
|
||||
- fetch a favicon for the page: `FETCH_FAVICON`
|
||||
- fetch and parse the title tag from html: `FETCH_TITLE`
|
||||
- submit the page to archive.org: `SUBMIT_ARCHIVE_DOT_ORG`
|
||||
|
||||
### Archive Method Options
|
||||
- screenshot: `RESOLUTION` values: [`1440,900`]/`1024,768`/`...`
|
||||
- user agent: `WGET_USER_AGENT` values: [`Wget/1.19.1`]/`"Mozilla/5.0 ..."`/`...`
|
||||
- git domains: `GIT_DOMAINS` values: [`github.com,bitbucket.org,gitlab.com`]/`git.example.com`/`...`
|
||||
- cookies file: `COOKIES_FILE` values: [`None`]/`/path/to/cookies.txt`/`...`
|
||||
To capture sites that require a user to be logged in, you can specify a path to a [netscape-format](http://www.cookiecentral.com/faq/#3.5) `cookies.txt` file for wget to use. You can generate this file by using a browser extension to export your cookies in this format, or by using wget with `--save-cookies`.
|
||||
- chrome profile: `CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR` values: [`~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Default`]/`/tmp/chrome-profile`/`...`
|
||||
To capture sites that require a user to be logged in, you can specify a path to a chrome user profile (which loads the cookies needed for the user to be logged in). If you don't have an existing chrome profile, create one with `chromium-browser --disable-gpu --user-data-dir=/tmp/chrome-profile`, and log into the sites you need. Then set `CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR=/tmp/chrome-profile` to make ArchiveBox use that profile.
|
||||
|
||||
(See defaults & more at the top of `config.py`)
|
||||
|
||||
To tweak the outputted html index file's look and feel, just edit the HTML files in `archiver/templates/`.
|
||||
You can override the default behavior to search for any available bin by setting the environment variable to your preferred Chrome binary name or path.
|
||||
|
||||
The chrome/chromium dependency is _optional_ and only required for screenshots, PDF, and DOM dump output, it can be safely ignored if those three methods are disabled.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `WGET_BINARY`
|
||||
[`wget`]/`/usr/local/bin/wget`/...
|
||||
Path or name of the wget binary to use.
|
||||
|
||||
### Archive Settings
|
||||
|
||||
#### `OUTPUT_DIR`
|
||||
[`$REPO_DIR/output`]/`/srv/www/bookmarks`/...
|
||||
Path to an output folder to store the archive in. Defaults to `output/` in the root directory of the repository.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `OUTPUT_PERMISSIONS`
|
||||
[`755`]/`644`/...
|
||||
Permissions to set the output directory and file contents to.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `ONLY_NEW`
|
||||
[`False`]/`True`
|
||||
Download files for only newly added links when running the `./archive` command. By default ArchiveBox will go through all links in the index and download any missing files on every run, set this to `True` to only archive the fresh links added during this run without attempting to also update older archived links.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `TIMEOUT`
|
||||
[`60`]/`30`/...
|
||||
Maximum allowed download time per archive method for each link in seconds. If you have a slow network connection or are seeing frequent timeout errors, you can raise this value.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `MEDIA_TIMEOUT`
|
||||
[`3600`]/`120`/...
|
||||
Maximum allowed download time for fetching media when `FETCH_MEDIA=True` in seconds. This timeout is separate and usually much longer than `TIMEOUT` because media downloaded with `youtube-dl` can often be quite large and take many minutes/hours to download. Tweak this setting based on your network speed and maximum media file size you plan on downloading.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `TEMPLATES_DIR`
|
||||
[`$REPO_DIR/archivebox/templates`]/`/path/to/custom/templates`/...
|
||||
Path to a directory containing custom index html templates for themeing your archive output. Folder at specified path must contain the following files:
|
||||
- `static/`
|
||||
- `index.html`
|
||||
- `link_index.html`
|
||||
- `index_row.html`
|
||||
|
||||
You can copy the files in `archivebox/templates` into your own directory to start developing a custom theme, then edit `TEMPLATES_DIR` to point to your new custom templates directory.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `FOOTER_INFO`
|
||||
[`Content is hosted for personal archiving purposes only. Contact server owner for any takedown requests.`]/`Operated by ACME Co.`/...
|
||||
Some text to display in the footer of the archive index. Useful for providing server admin contact info to respond to takedown requests.
|
||||
|
||||
### Archive Method Toggles
|
||||
|
||||
#### `FETCH_TITLE`
|
||||
[`True`]/`False`
|
||||
Fetch the page HTML and attempt to parse the links' title from any `<title></title>` tag in the response. May cause significanly slower link parsing when importing many links, so you can set this to `FALSE` on the first run just to get the index updated quickly, then set it on `TRUE` on later runs to go back and fetch the titles for the links already in the index.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `FETCH_FAVICON`
|
||||
[`True`]/`False`
|
||||
Fetch and save favicon for the URL from Google's public favicon service: `https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain={domain}`. Set this to `FALSE` if you don't need favicons, but be aware all the links may show with spinners next to them in the index as the favicon is used as the status icon to confirm the archive process is complete for that URL.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `FETCH_WGET`
|
||||
[`True`]/`False`
|
||||
Fetch page with wget, and save responses into folders for each domain, e.g. `example.com/index.html`, with `.html` appended if not present. For a full list of options used during the `wget` download process, see the `archivebox/archive_methods.py:fetch_wget(...)` function.
|
||||
|
||||
Related options: [`TIMEOUT`](#timeout), [`FETCH_WGET_REQUISITES`](#fetch_wget_requisites), [`CHECK_SSL_VALIDITY`](#check_ssl_validity), [`COOKIES_FILE`](#coookies_file), [`WGET_USER_AGENT`](#wget_user_agent),
|
||||
|
||||
#### `FETCH_WARC`
|
||||
[`True`]/`False`
|
||||
Save a timestamped WARC archive of all the page requests and responses during the wget archive process.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `FETCH_PDF`
|
||||
[`True`]/`False`
|
||||
Print page as PDF.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `FETCH_SCREENSHOT`
|
||||
[`True`]/`False`
|
||||
Fetch a screenshot of the page.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `FETCH_DOM`
|
||||
[`True`]/`False`
|
||||
Fetch a DOM dump of the page.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `FETCH_GIT`
|
||||
[`True`]/`False`
|
||||
Fetch any git repositories on the page.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `FETCH_MEDIA`
|
||||
[`True`]/`False`
|
||||
Fetch all audio, video, annotations, and media metadata on the page using `youtube-dl`. Warning, this can use up *a lot* of storage very quickly.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `SUBMIT_ARCHIVE_DOT_ORG`
|
||||
[`True`]/`False`
|
||||
Submit the page's URL to be archived on Archive.org. (The Internet Archive)
|
||||
|
||||
### Archive Method Options
|
||||
|
||||
#### `CHECK_SSL_VALIDITY`
|
||||
[`True`]/`False`
|
||||
Whether to enforce HTTPS certificate and HSTS chain of trust when archiving sites. Set this to `False` if you want to archive pages even if they have expired or invalid certificates. Be aware that when `False` you cannot guarantee that you have not been man-in-the-middle'd while archiving content, so the content cannot be verified to be what's on the original site.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `FETCH_WGET_REQUISITES`
|
||||
Fetch images/css/js with wget. (True is highly recommended, otherwise your wont download many critical assets to render the page, like images, js, css, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
#### `RESOLUTION`
|
||||
[`1440,900`]/`1024,768`/...
|
||||
Screenshot resolution in pixels width,height.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `WGET_USER_AGENT`
|
||||
[`Wget/1.19.1`]/`"Mozilla/5.0 ..."`/...
|
||||
User agent to use during wget downloads. You can set this to impersonate a more common browser like Chrome or Firefox if you're experiences pages blocking unknown user agents.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `GIT_DOMAINS`
|
||||
[`github.com,bitbucket.org,gitlab.com`]/`git.example.com`/...
|
||||
Domains to attempt download of git repositories on using `git clone`.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `COOKIES_FILE`
|
||||
[`None`]/`/path/to/cookies.txt`/...
|
||||
Cookies file to pass to wget. To capture sites that require a user to be logged in, you can specify a path to a [netscape-format](http://www.cookiecentral.com/faq/#3.5) `cookies.txt` file for wget to use. You can generate this file by using a browser extension to export your cookies in this format, or by using wget with `--save-cookies`.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR`
|
||||
[`~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default`]/`/tmp/chrome-profile`/...
|
||||
Path to a chrome user profile directory. To capture sites that require a user to be logged in, you can specify a path to a chrome user profile (which loads the cookies needed for the user to be logged in). If you don't have an existing chrome profile, create one with `chromium-browser --user-data-dir=/tmp/chrome-profile`, and log into the sites you need. Then set `CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR=/tmp/chrome-profile` to make ArchiveBox use that profile.

## Creating a Config File
|
||||
|
||||
*Note: if using Docker Compose you should set the config in the `docker-compose.yml` file or a `.env` file instead.*
