Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Has anyone used ArchiveBox for self hosted web archiving? If so, what are your thoughts on it compared to Internet Archive or other publicly available services?

I used it but unfortunately it did not meet my needs. I’m interested in a full mirror of a website, while ArchiveBox focuses on a single webpage with a max of 1 level deep. I use wget personally, but if your goal is to archive a single webpage then ArchiveBox might be a good choice.

Thanks for the info! Single page with no link following is all I need for this project, so I'll give it a go.
