A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

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.

I believe they used heritrix at one point. The important bit is that there is a special archive format that they use which is a standard. There are several tools that support it (both capturing to it and viewing it) - it allows for capturing a website in a 'working' condition with history or something. I'm a bit fuzzy on it since it's been some time since I looked into it.

It seems like all of their software is in the parent account of heritrix - https://github.com/orgs/internetarchive/repositories?type=all.
