Zim vs WARC ?
There are clearly similarities between the two, given that Kiwix put resources into making WARC content available in ZIM archives (i.e. Zimit-style ZIMs, created with the Zimit scraper and warc2zim backend). But as u/IMayBeABitShy said, the ZIM specification focuses on providing a highly compressed container that is readable on-the-fly (i.e. by decompressing only the needed content to show an article), whereas WARC, or rather the compressed version WACZ, is merely a zipped version of the WARC data (request headers and responses). It is also readable on-the-fly, but compression will not be as optimal as the zstandard compression used by modern ZIM archives.

Is there a quick way to turn a GitHub wiki into a zim?
Or, use the warcit tool on your collection of documents, and convert them to a warc archive, then use the warc2zim commandline tool to convert the WARC to a ZIM;

What's the "best" way to make your own ZIMs (in docker)?
I'm looking at making my own ZIM though not sure the best way to go about it. I've seen zimit on Github and the mwoffliner on Github too.

How do I zimit listings with slideshows?
You would have more chances at getting a technical reply to your technical issue by hitting https://github.com/openzim/zimit/issues I believe

Openzim/zimit using docker on Windows 10; mounting the volume with the complete .zim file works how exactly?
The zimit readme says it uses /output as the default directory, so we can use that as the name for our docker's volume.

Zimit. This tool allows you to convert an existing website into an offline ZIM archive. https://hub.docker.com/r/openzim/zimit

Reading from the web offline and distraction-free
which worked quite well for most sites, but still very far from a general-purpose solution.
There is also more powerful/general-purpose scraper that generates a ZIM file here: https://github.com/openzim/zimit
It would be really nice to a "common" scraper code base that takes care of scraping (possibly with a real headless browser) and outputs all assets as files + info as JSON. This common code base could then be used by all kinds of programs to package the content as standalone HTML zip files, ePub, ZIM, or even PDF for crazy people like me who like to print things ;)

You can now create your own zim files!
There is a limit at 1,000 items for each zim because we don’t want to DDoS unsuspecting websites with requests; and also would not be able to afford the bill If it becomes as popular as we think it will be. But since this is free software, you can obviously cut the middleman by copying, studying, modifying and redistributing the code that can be found here: https://github.com/openzim/zimit or contact us directly and get the full thing for a small fee (tbd, but this should not be a blocker for legitimate uses).
