Ask HN: How can I back up an old vBulletin forum without admin access?
You can try https://replayweb.page/ as a test for viewing a WARC file. I do think you'll run into problems though with wanting to browse interconnected links in a forum format, but try this as a first step.
One potential option but definitely a bit more work would be, once you have all the warc files downloaded, you can open them all in python using the warctools module and maybe beautifulsoup and potentially parse/extract all of the data embedded in the WARC archives into your own "fresh" HTML webserver.

Best practices for archiving websites
Use the Webrecorder tool suite https://webrecorder.net! It uses a new package file format for web archivss called WACZ (Web Archive Zipped) which produces a single file which you can store anywhere and playback offline. It automatically indexes different file formats such as PDFs or media files contained on the website and is versioned. You can record WACZ using the Chrome extension ArchiveWeb.page https://archiveweb.page/ or use the Internet Archive’s Save Page Now button to preserve a website and have the WACZ file sent to you via email: https://inkdroid.org/2023/04/03/spn-wacz/. There are also more sophisticated tools like the in-browser crawler ArchiveWeb.page Express https://express.archiveweb.page or the command-line crawler BrowserTrix https://webrecorder.net/tools#browsertrix-crawler. But manually recording using the Chrome extension is definitely the easiest and most reliable way. To play back the WACZ file just open it in the offline web-app ReplayWeb.page https://replayweb.page.

Webrecorder: Capture interactive websites and replay them at a later time
(Disclaimer: I work at Webrecorder)
Our automated crawler browsertrix-crawler (https://github.com/webrecorder/browsertrix-crawler) uses Puppeteer to run browsers that we archive in by loading pages, running behaviors such as auto-scroll, and then record the request/response traffic. We have some custom behavior for some social media and video sites to make sure that content is appropriate captured. It is a bit of a cat-and-mouse game as we have to continue to update these behaviors as sites change, but for the most part it works pretty well.
The trickier part is in replaying the archived websites, as a certain amount of re-writing has to happen in order to make sure the HTML and JS are working with archived assets rather than the live web. One implementation of this is replayweb.page (https://github.com/webrecorder/replayweb.page), which does all of the rewriting client-side in the browser. This sets you interact with archived websites in WARC or WACZ format as if interacting with the original site.

Is there such a thing as a " Master Search Engine " for desktops and websites that can search for any keyword on the site and on the PC?
Currently the only way I know of doing this is by making a WARC file of the site with something like ArchiveWeb and then opening the WARC file with something like ReplayWeb : https://replayweb.page/

DPReview is being Archived by the Archive Team
Once archived, the entire site will be made available for anyone to browse on the internet archive. The entire .WARC will also be made available for anyone to download and view locally with a .WARC viewer such as Web Replay. You will be able to download the .WARC file from here.

Finding the Forgotten Fotolog
Of course, the next question will be: Once / if I find the right file with the correct URL, how do I actually access that content? I assume it will involve searching through the massive WARC files using a dedicated software. I tried using replayweb.page, but many of the files seemed to be inaccessible.

How to Download All of Wikipedia onto a USB Flash Drive
It looks like Kiwix uses the ZIM file format, which appears to have diffing support [0] (see zimdiff and zimpatch). That said, it doesn't look like Kiwix actually publishes those diffs.

I found a way to read the pali canon offline on my smartphone, for free
One problem that remains is to bring the access to insight webpage to the ".zim" format that the kiwix app can process. Here it seems the only way to do that is a tool called "zimwriterfs" that can be found in another opensource project that defines the basis of the offline reader format and is used by kiwix I believe. https://github.com/openzim/zim-tools ...this was no problem for me, as the tool can be accessed easily from standard linux distributions like ubuntu. Creating the .zim file from the unzipped access to insight offline version is a single command line, after preparing a little icon that will be used for the site in kiwix. There seems to be no windows version of that tool available though...
