Installing Archivebox

Archivebox allows quick saving of web pages.  Uses a plugin, currently using chrome version.

https://www.howtogeek.com/the-internet-is-disappearing-so-i-repurposed-an-old-laptop-to-save-it/

It uses for what I installed, a Docker container

Install with

curl -fsSL 'https://get.archivebox.io' | bash

Command line archive of a page

archivebox add --depth=1 'https://howtogeek.com'.

Install the extension in Chrome, add URL of the server

http://192.168.1.xxx:8000

Must use unencrypted page URL, the server doesn't redirect 443 to the 8000 server port

The extension has two modes: Allowlist and BlockList. In Allowlist mode, it won't archive anything unless you specify a web domain (like howtogeek.com) as ones you "allow" to be automatically archived by ArchiveBox when you visit them.
