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.

Do you use anything to archive content for yourself or others? (research, videos, articles, and anything that could be lost to time or censorship) (lemmy.ca)

I saw this post and I was curious what was out there.

https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/113444325077647843

Id like to put my lab servers to work archiving US federal data thats likely to get pulled - climate and biomed data seems mostly likely. The most obvious strategy to me seems like setting up mirror torrents on academictorrents. Anyone compiling a list of at-risk data yet?

I have a script that archives to:

I used to solely depend on archive.org, but after the recent attacks, I expanded my options.

Script: https://gist.github.com/YasserKa/9a02bc50e75e7239f6f0c8f04fe4cfb1

EDIT: Added script. Note that the script doesn't include archiving to archivebox, since its API isn't available in stable verison yet. You can add a function depending on your setup. Personally, I am depending on Caddy and docker, so I am using caddy module [1] to execute commands with this in my Caddyfile:

route /add {
	@params query url=*
	exec docker exec --user=archivebox archivebox archivebox add {http.request.uri.query.url} {
		timeout 0
	}
}

isn't this prone to a

 || rm -rf /

or something similar at the end of the URL?

if you can docker exec, you have a lot of privileges already, so be sure to make sure this is not a danger

Thank you for the warning. You are correct. It's prune to command injection. I will validate the URL before executing it. This shoud suffice until archivebox's rest API is available in stable.

Would you be willing to share it?

I hope you are also donating to the projects for uploading multiple copies to different services.
