Shiori VS ArchiveBox

Are you using all extractors when saving a page?

I tried ArchiveBox and Shiori, but neither stuck for some reason. The latter is a bit more lightweight, it can save the entire page as well as a Readability-based conversion: https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori/

I'm using shiori

what about shiori? I've been using it for a year now, works fine

Shiori is the way to go, it's a single binary written in Go which makes it easy as hell to move and backup. It's also a resource-efficient option. The downside is that it doesn't have a mobile app, no Kobo/Kindle support, and no offline caching capabilities.

Try going directly to the specific file (e.g., Shiori's README.md)

Shiori is a self-hosted bookmark manager that uses tags and it's what I use now. https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori

I've been strongly preferring methods that let me tag items and have a good search - either in addition to or instead of putting them in a folder. If I don't like the "taxonomy" I can just add more tags, instead of constantly trying to figure out the one folder where everything should go.

I can share by creating an additional visitor user, or use the import/export commands. I hope those get built into the UI sometime, but I rarely share more than a single bookmark at a time.

It is an extra step to copy/paste links into Shiori versus browser built-in features, but I prefer not to trust or rely on browsers for my bookmarks unless at work. Seems like everyone wants sync those to accounts without my explicit consent.

Two projects I greatly appreciate, allowing me to easily archive my bandcamp and GOG purchases (after the initial setup anyways):

And I recently learned about archivebox, which I think is going to be a fast favorite and finally let me clear out my mess of tabs/bookmarks: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox

API is coming soon (relatively, it's still a one-man project)! Stay tuned https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/496

I have an event-sourcing refactor in progress now to allow us to pluginize functionality like the API (similar to Home Assistant with a plugin app sotre), it will take a month or two. Next up is the REST API using the new plugin system.

The ArchiveBox project (which gets reposted on the regular: e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38954189 ) also saves in WARC https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox#output-formats although I've personally not used it to comment further

I guess your best chance is to use something like https://archivebox.io/.

Yeah this is a cool project but it was discussed 2 days ago.

As mentioned by the maintainer there, they even maintain a list of alternatives, very classy:

Actually closer to 7 years ago :)

note you no longer need to create a user manually though, so this shouldn't be an issue anymore. just set ADMIN_USERNAME and ADMIN_PASSWORD env vars and it'll autocreate the user and collection on first run.

I may add an opt-in federation option at some point in the far future, it would be great to figure out a way to link willing donor's ArchiveBox instances together for public benefit.
